What’s your scenario to use a EDC light and how often?
Looking in dark spaces around the house, or illuminating a small shared space to avoid waking the missus. Daily use.

Sometimes I’m awake during the day, sometimes I’m awake at night.
I frequently walk from the main house to my bedroom (in a detached garage.)
There’s insufficient outdoor lighting for my frequent walks (at night), and that’s usually when I use my EDC flashlight.

I rarely use ceiling light in my bedroom, and use flashlights everyday instead.
I use moonlight of Emisar D3AA and Wurkkos TS10 for over-night, and in case I need more brightness, Convoy S2+ LHP531 or M21B LHP73B works fine.

Spread them out on a surface with a bunch of other pocket junk and take pictures of them.

I just light up shiite with them…
It’s dark, I got a light… boom, done.

Wait you actually use your flashlights?!

Cool. Is there any accessories for this scene? Like a cover to make a soft light.
Well, I always need the light to find some stuff in my car. That’s why I need a compact one.

Most days there’s some point where something needs more light on it. It’s getting more frequent now with the evenings drawing in, it’s dark when I get home from work and as there’s no artificial light where I live a lot of the time it’s dark.
I don’t use any accessories such as diffuser. Ceiling bounce is enough. When I’m drunk, 2 or 3 flashlights are shining in the morning…

I just carry a smallish lipstick light for ‘everyday’ tasks as a city slicker.

Ever have to step away from a job due to structural safety issues? I’d imagine you’d be going into some funky old places that have seen better days.
As example in a city, when you need to walk at dark time in a place without acceptable light and normal road. Especially unknown place. Happens rarely.
Sometimes you want to look on something, but it’s already dark to see without a flashlight. Recently I needed additional light to understand details of a destroyed (due to rains) area on a road.
Keychain light (<25 lm) is enough for all of such.

I live in Alaska and it is starting to get dark way early now and soon it will only be 4 hours of light each day.
What I mostly recently used for was to check on something that was leaned up against the garage and making a thumping noise as the wind blew. The other thing I did was make sure all the batteries are charged (again) and ready.

Today, looking down the side of the cooker for a dropped teaspoon and wishing I hadn’t! Major cleaning job ensued. Bit of a sore throat, had a look in there, looked for tools in the hall cupboard, just come in from letting the dog out for a pee, found her lead under the seat in my car. Pepper grinder isn’t grinding, couple of big peppercorns blocking the rest.
Various other scenarios, it’s getting darker and I’m north facing where I live.
That’s the kind of thing, and when I forget to carry a light, it’s guaranteed I miss it, same with a small knife.

There’s a 2AA powered light I use daily to check on the outdoor cat food at night from inside and I use a T3 if I go out to feed them.
I take a light with me when I go for a walk for exercise and it’s after dark, mainly to use to make myself more visible to drivers.

CookieDave,
Yes, unfortunately so. We run into lots of contaminated spaces, usually by petroleum distillates or propane or diesel. We keep MSA Altair 4X Multigas monitors on us for many job functions.
I opened a basement room in a building recently that had been locked for over a decade, rodents had the run of the space and chewed into low voltage wiring. The smell and condition of the room was unbelievable. It became a hazardous environment . Tyvek jumper, gloves, forced air ventilation and respirator for repair.
It’s a very humbling job.

You need to start your own thread. I’d love to hear more. Does that mean you’re often working with intrinsically safe lights then? I was honestly thinking that the work you come across was more like foundation issues, or rotting wood, not so much toxic air and whatnot, but that’s crazy.
