Pantaloons pocket, Nitecore MH20 for general use, MH20GT if I’m going to be outside much. Neeeeeeeed a deep-carry clip.
Sofirn SP32Av2 on my bag (MOLLE holster), Jetbeam Jet-II in my bag.
Might stick a Glaree E03 as a zipper-pull on my bag, too. Never know…
Cometa CatchOnFire if I’m poking around outside, which doubles as my “nighttable light”.
The Nitecore ’20s retired my Nitefox UT20, which perfectly fit a S2+’s DC clip, and which I really liked despite being rather huge (ticked all the boxes, otherwise), and before that my trusty UF ’502B which I’d been EDCing for years.
For a small, front pocket light, I often carry my Ultratac K18 or a FourSevens Mini MA. Neither is super special but are small enough to go relatively unnoticed.
Since the weather has been getting colder around here, I’ve been carrying a Convoy S2+ with either an XPL HI or a Nichia 219C triple in my jacket pocket. My ZebralightSC600w HI almost always rides in my computer bag. What a fantastic light it is.
Those (2013 version) are very pretty.
Seriously considering getting one (second hand) for € 45,—
Quite pricey for me, for a 2nd hand 16340 light, though…
As for what i EDC, it depends on my mood, i guess.
I like to have my Concept 1 with me since i modded it.
It has a 80CRI 3D or 4A tinted XHP35 HI now in stead of the XHP35 1A tint it came with and it’s a big improvement.
More throw, better tint and better colors, no more blue dot in the middle (but still some artefacts though) Lost a few lumens of course, but still very bright.
Tiny silicone rubber ring under the switch lever to avoid accidentally pushing the e-switch.
One of my favourite lights.
Wellp, I generally hate stuff in my pockets, so carry the absolute minimum. Bux, papieren, knife, light, loose change (as little as possible, as I try to get rid of it as soon as I can), and a comb. That’s pretty much it. Anything else, goes into my bag, or the bag attached to my bag. Keys, phone(s), lighter (don’t even smoke, go figure), Jet-II, multitool, all other crap, goes into the attached bag.
So “keychain lights”, etc., are pretty much meaningless to me, as I never carry that stuff on me, at least not in pockets.
I’m using a Taceagle e09. I prefer the twisty because of the shorter length. I know there are newer/updated lights, but the Taceagle does what I need. I have been using them off and on for maybe5-7 years, and never had any problem.
For a while it I carried a Lumintop AAA Tool Nichia, then an Olight i3T EOS, and now I’m using a BLF 348.
I like to rotate my EDC but I’ve misplaced the Tool and i3T - I think the kids probably got to them. I’m going to have to be more careful with the copper i3T I’ve got on the way.
I’ve had the same one on my keychain for about the same amount of time. Before that I carried a red one for a year or two. The silver is my favorite because it holds up so much better to long term usage. The anodizing on my red one was beat to hell.
I've been around here for only 2 years and there are a huge number of lights I've never even heard of.
