What flashlight do you keep beside your bed?

C8 with warm white XML moon in memory
And the one I take after using it during the day (now the Convoy BD01)

Convoy C8 or and M1

Never seen a lower moonlight yet…and a wall of high CRI light if needed :slight_smile:

The charging dock is useful too !

I’ve got three of them sitting there right now. But, the one I use every day is a green camo AA-cell (boost) single mode with a 5mm LED. It came in a pack of two for ~7 on sale at Tractor Supply. It has a side clicky switch with a GITD cover that is still giving off light when I wake up in the morning. I ceiling bounce the light from this flashlight in the morning to have just enough light to see around the room without disturbing my wife too much. Several lights have had a turn at this job. This one just happens to be in the position for no real reason. I’d actually prefer a lower level light, but I keep giving away my good flashlights that have moonlight mode. I’m just too gosh darn generous! :innocent:

My “stumble-to-the-potty” and “find-something-while-the-spouse-is-sleeping” light is my L2m shorty seen here. It’s very stable head standing and has a nice red illuminated tailcap. I recently swapped out the nichia with a 7A tint XM-L.

My “bump-in-the-night” light is a Convoy M2 quad Nichia 219c with a forward clicky that defaults to about 300-400 lumens but can blast more like 2500-3000 if I need it.

My “It’s-on-my-nightstand-because-I’m-running-out-of-places-to-put-lights” light is the blue S2+ linked in my signature line. :stuck_out_tongue:

Olight S15R. Great moonlight mode which is what it is set to turn on to with a single click. It steps up to higher levels if needed but that seldom / never happens when it’s dark enough to need a light during the night.

JetBeam WL-S1 with a 16500 lithium manganese oxide battery, 1 lumen moonlight, ~900 lumen max. It’s a great all-round light.

My wife has a dollar store 9 led flashlight that puts out about 20 bluish lumens and I have a 1xAAA Utilitech key chain light that has a small aspheric and puts out about 50 lumens at max. I've had the utilitech for a couple years and it works good enough to keep from stubbing my toes on stuff. She has great night vision and never turns on a light, which irritates the heck out of me. I can't see anything in the dark, never could. Even moonlight is never enough.

My (shorty 18350) Blf A6 , with 15degree optical lens :cowboy_hat_face:

SmallSun ZY T08, UF-2100, NiteEye 10.

I generally have several on the nightstand, but the usual culprits are:

1. Walk-through-the-house-at-night: gently-driven SK-68 (my Gearbest Digital-Sand camo) with pencil-modded driver and LB emitter replaced with a more neutral XP-E2

2. Bump-in-the-night light is my FastTech C20 18650 EDC-style light, with always-start-on-high 3A driver, CW XM-L2, and 25-degree TIR.

BLF A6 5A bare and Olight sr mini

Olight S1 in moonlight memory, Convoy S2+ in lowest mode memory and BLF D80SE in turbo memory

Olight S1 Raw Cu with wand attached in moonlight mode. Turns out my wife likes having a nightlight so we turn it on each night before sleeping. Plus it makes for a decorative and secure light on our metal nightstand.

A rather flakey old Lumens Factory SP-6 w/ a XML 5C 3 mode drop-in + a trit vial lanyard.

I have my X6 SE under the bed. On the table at the end of my bed has my whole collection LOL

Stubby Eagle Eye X6 with a BLF A6 driver, starts on moonlight, GITD tailcap, and a red filter.

I think it’s a great size, and a bit harder to knock over than a 18650 tube light.

Nitecore EA21 - has red light for super low lumens, can start in 1 lumen low mode or turbo from off, side switch so it doesn’t wake up the wife

Also have the DQG Tiny AA stuck to the bed frame as a nice little reading light.

Trying out the BLF A01 Copper but I will probably go back to my Nitecore T0.

Long live 5mm LEDs!

I have 2 by the bed… I have a Thorfire VG10 with stock driver, XM-L2 4C and a GITD with red and orange LED’s, I find them good for sleeping and the ML mode on the VG10 is wonderful. I also have an S2 with triple XP-G2 3C with a very dim GITD tailcap with green LED’s. This is the one I grab if I think I need a lot of light!
