What flashlight do you keep beside your bed?

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!

Copper BLF A01.

A Thorfire tg06 as my “doing a quick scout of the house light”, and my sunwayman d40a as my “the power is out” candle substitute, with a diffuser on.

amber modded SK68 or amber modded #3 zoomie, and amber modded headlight — for getting around in the dark without waking the household with bright white light.
Something stunning if I need that as backup.

Nitecore sr3

For the same reasons many people mentioned above ……It is very stable face down because of the large wide SS bezel . I never liked knocking stuff over when reaching for a light in the dark .

Rock solid

LED LENSER A3

Convoy S2+ 18350 blue host w/ Moonlight Special 1+3*7135 driver and Nichia 219b emitter. Low moonlight is perfect to leave running on the nightstand, great tint, 18350 is plenty to run it for awhile and doesn’t need to get super bright.
