What light do you use most?

And does it change over time.

Bonus, how many minutes of LED lighting so you use in an average day

I was using the Convoy M1, but now use the Starry Light the most (NiMH are more durable and easier to charge, and it has better modes)

I average maybe 30 mins of flashlighting a day

I carry a Convoy S4 that has an XML2-U2 dedomed LED that has an extra 4 7135’s stacked (Thanks Tom E) and pulls ~4A off a Sony US18650VTC4. Custom mods include:

  • wire coat hanger pocket clip
  • drunken night sand from pocket to enhance orange peel reflector
  • sanded pennies (yes that is difficult comfychair) as a heat sink
  • automotive high temp RTV as a spacer because mine melted on initial build

And it looks like this:




I’ll let you guess how often I use this torch…

Reserved

Menu would be great!!

Most used LED light would be my Solarforce L2m. Tens of minutes a day probably. Second up would be the BLF A8

reservations are not required at my establishment, shall i bring you a menu?

hahahah! No I wanted to get my place in line whilst I take my photos.

I’m ready!

Today we are serving hot dogs with ketchup available and stale buns

Tomorrows menu has not been determined, but possibilities include steak, battered fish or pasta with alfredo sauce.

As for beverages we have a wide selection that includes water, coke and Barqs root beer.

Ultrafire 602c is in my pocket everyday all day! Probably average 4 minutes of on time every day. It has the BLF A8 driver in it.

The one that gets the most use at home and general back yard type usage is the BLF A8.

I use my modded XinTD C8 and BLF Starry Light SA-22 the most. Both have good modes and nice tint.

I carry three flashlights at work. Nitecore P12 or Thrunite TN12 in a holster, Streamlight Protac 2aaa in my shirt pocket and a Thrunite TiS on a neck lanyard. I use the TiS frequently, usually for just a few seconds at a time. Overall I use them approximately 15 minutes a day.

At home in the yard I usually reach for the Thrunite TN30.

Surprisingly I use the cheapest, smallest light the most!

Jetbeam RRT01 by far.


Either one, depends which is closest when I need light.
The L2N has one of Solarforce’s L2 CL1 Lenses for a spread of light.

The L2M shorty has an A001 head with a ~320Lm warm white drop-in plus a Xeno lanyard ring, the L2N ~800Lm drop-in and a -

Titanium Lanyard ring and a Solarforce S8? Tailswitch that will tailstand.

i think its time to replace that lens

+1 A nifty little light.

I use a Convoy S8 battery tube with about 2mm taken off the threads to use the RRT01 with 18650 cells.

Flashlight cruelty! Calling FPS! (Flashlight Protection Services) :stuck_out_tongue:

Sunwayman V11R. I use it average 15 minuts every day.

Ciao

I randomly use different lights all the time.
Though on the night table my custom light is the one that is there along side a Warrior & a modded BTU Shocker for when i need a blast of light. in my jeans pocket its varies between a modded Tank007 E09, Thrunite Ti2 with 219, Solarstorm SC03 with 219, Olight i3, and others, and in a coat pocket a SK68 mod or modded Olight S15 & S20, Keychains have Mini-01 & 02s, the list goes on.

On my night table is a XinTD X3 with a 26650. Mainly because that is my latest acquirement. It gets used for perhaps ten minutes to half an hour each night. In my keychain there is a Nitecore Sense AA. It sees a bit of daily use as well, when I go to the root cellar and so on. On my bicycle I have a Convoy C8.

Your “pocket clip” looks like it would double as a nice shiv!

My EDC light (left front pocket) for the last year and a half is a Oveready Moddoolar Pocket Clicky in dual 18350 mode @ 1200L with H/M/L modes. I have a LOT of Oveready lights but this one get carried every day. Great stuff!

Used 10-20 minutes daily.
