what are your top three EDC flashlight

As you are a flashlight enthusiastic fan ,you must have some EDC flashlight ,what are the three top flashlight in you pocket? Or what are the three top EDC flashlight you most wanted ?

Thanks for relply!

Aloha znmzdx! Some of my favorite edc's are the NiteCore D10, Fenix LD10, TrustFire XP-EF23, Akoray K-106, and Aurora SH-034. I swap these out every other day or so. The Nitecore and Fenix are not considered budget lights but they are part of my edc's. If I were to chose a favorite budget edc then it would have to be the TrustFire XP-EF23 because it's fairly small but the one thing I really like about it is the stainless steel smoothness of it. There's just something I love about stainless steel and it's shininess and smoothness.

I think I caught the stainless steel bug from Don. :bigsmile:

Unusually, I only have two or three lights on me so I suppose they count as my EDCs - not counting the Photon clones attached to zippers. they are Fenix E01, Aurora SH-034, and a Tank007 E07. I've been reducing the size of my bundles of keys so have been pulling lights off them

Just out of curiosity Don, how many flashlights do you have? 8)

Romisen RC-F7 in my keychain and Uniquefire AA-S1 in my belt.

Maybe i´ll try the Akoray K-106 as my EDC in the future.

Around 80. Just under, I think.

The CR2 lights

The CR123 lights

There are many others, but it is getting busy, so back to work for me.

I carry a little keychain LED (photon clone) on my keychain, so I guess that it is EDC. Also I keep an iTP A3 EOS 3-mode in my pocket every day. My AKOray at bedside has taken the place of a lamp there, and I have a Ultrafire WF-504B with a neutral white XP-G drop-in that I've really been liking too. Even though it is bigger than my Trustfire XP-E F23, the 504B has started taking its place when walking the dogs.

Though I enjoy budget lights, none are in my top 3. Lately, my top 3 EDCs have been Zebralight SC50 and Nitecore D10 clipped to either pocket and my Eagletac t100c2 in my bag.

AA lights

AAA

C and D

There are others but that is most of them

I am new to this forum (first post YEAH!!) , so I hope its OK for me to recommend ~$50 lights (not the cheapest things around).

Good to have you here.

In the post second above yours, there is a picture of a $175 light - actually by the time it got here nearer $300. Don't worry about it. All but three of the other lights there in the pics are certainly budget lights. When it comes to headlamps I've yet to see a budget one I'm keen on. It's Zebralight all the way. I bought an H50 several years ago and have never wanted any other headlamp.

Meanwhile, have lots of fun - this is a much nicer place than the big place and everyone's opinion counts so please do join in.

How do you like that Fenix - seemed an odd light to me? From the fact it's your EDC I presume you like it a lot.

So far I am liking it... although its brand new. I've only had it a week, so I am still on the honeymoon phase. I have owned enough of these things to realize strengths are easily realized fresh out of the box, and weaknesses take a few weeks to rear their ugly heads.

The first one I bought was machined wrong and was too tight for a duracell AA alkaline. So I returned it back to Frys and exchanged it for a good one. This one is OK.

Its a very nice, well made light though. Its plastic molded around an Aluminum case/skeleton. So its got a really solid, hefty feel. Holding it in my hand it feels as solid as my SF-G2.

Its brighter than I thought it would be. On a ceiling bounce its right in between my E2L (110L) and RC-N3-Q5 (145L). Its 125 Lumen rating is spot on. bigchelis measured one at 124.5L.

I love topics like these, because we get to see what everyone likes to carry with them or rotate out. For me i like to carry 1 AA light and one C123 based light. Really dont have a favorite at all but i have been carrying the L2m in cr123 format, the D10 that you see in the pic has been retired from edc rotation.

I'm the unabashed tightwad and shameless cheapskate here. In fact I'm even more scotch than a certain member of ours here who really is Scotch! Therefore, my every day carriers are:

Nothing wrong with the lights you have and own man......my motto now is if the light works then it will get used.

My every day carriers are:

-Proton clone in keychain

- UF MCU C7s @XP-G

- ITP A1 EOS

I've got one of these in every keychain: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20243

And have been rotating a 47's mini 123 and a ITP AOS AAA.(both with li-ion rechargables) But it depends on what I am going to do in that particular day. These aren't my favourite, but are my most used lights.

I do prefer the power of the cr123 driven lights, but the small size of the ITP is more appealing.

I understand that these two lights aren't all that "budget", but I do like them a lot.

Other contenders that I also got, but don't get EDC used that often, but still awesome lights: TrustFire XP-EF23 (I have one in my pocket right now...), TANK007 TK-703.

Hey i did'nt get to name my 3 most used lights....for edc use i would have to go with L2m, ITP SA1, and the Romi RC-A4. These do get rotated out with other lights of course, i like to have one for indoor use and a small throwy light like the ITP C9 or the SA1.

iTP A3 EOS - On my keychain

Romisen RC-B3 w/ Q3-5C - On my desk within reach (I'm there a LOT)
