What type of flashlight do you carry? Do you even carry one?

What type of flashlight do you carry? Do you even carry one?

[Dean C.]

Surefire Titan Plus super small with a 300 lumen output can be put on a keychain.

I have a Streamlight TLR1-HL on my carry gun. I use my phone light for EDC tasks though. My pockets are full enough as is without lugging around a redundant flashlight. IMO of course.

 

[Principal Skinr]

Olight S10R. It is tiny, but packs 500 lumens and recharges by setting it in a triangular cradle on my night stand. The end cap is magnetic, which enables you to just set it in the charger, and it can also anchor it to steel surfaces, such as a car hood, or whatever you may need. It also has a nice clip that lets you clip it to the bill of a baseball cap. I've found that particularly helpful when tying fishing knots at night. It also has a moonlight mode which is great for the car or in a movie theater where you don't want to disturb anyone.

I love it because 99% of the time I'm not using it, so it takes up as little space as possible. They have a new S1 that is even shorter, but just as powerful.

With my Glock 42 or 43, it makes EDC as light and small a burden as possible, when I need it to be that way.

Fenix UC40 Ultimate Edition. 960 lumens max output, 4 brightness modes and a strobe function.

I bought a pocket clip for, I think, a PD35 and it works fine, so this light gets to ride in a pocket.

Might not be a bad idea to pick up a couple extras. I've had a couple of them given to me during the Glock Advanced Armorer Courses and they haven't been terribly reliable in my experience.

I carry a Surefire EB1 and I really like it.

I got it from INGO sponsor "The LED Lighthouse". Good light, good price.

I have the same flashlight. I love it and find myself using it more and more as I get older and my eyes need more light to see things more clearly.

 

[Small's]

Klarus xt2c or xt1a. In my opinion the Klarus xt line has the best UI "user interface" of any light out there for edc/tactical use...

 

[Super Trucker]

I carry a surefire 6px defender 320 lumens, I use it everyday for various things at work and have one in each vehicle. Some of the newer higher lumen lights seem to bright on certain surfaces (inside of trailers with aluminum walls) so I have just kept this one for the last couple of years, and do not plan on switching lights anytime soon.

 

[9mmfan]

I have an origional Surefire 6p that I upgraded to 300 l with a replacement LED insert.
In the cold weather it stays in my jacket. In the summer it stays in my car.

 

[SMiller]

4Sevens quark turbo, its 2 123 battery's with a deep pocket clip, 810 lumans.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I carry a Coast HP2. Its a single AAA 70-ish lumen light. Its tiny and you forget you are even carrying it. Hell, it has been through the washer several times because of how unobtrusive it is.

I used to wonder about it as a defensive light, but after running it in one of Coach's low light shoots it does fine. Its no 700+ lumen monster that you can use to melt your opponents face, but its capable. And its also not so bright you cant use it for more mundane tasks like looking for a toy that might have rolled under the couch.

Its not a tactical light, but what is it they say? A .22 in your pocket is better than a .45 in the safe? I've got bigger, brighter lights, but they just arent as convenient to actually EDC.

And they have a decent lifetime warranty. The last one just quit working. I sent it in with the required form, and 4 weeks later had a brand new one.

 

[Yeah]

Someone handed me a Nitecore P12GT when I landed at the MS deer camp and so far I am quite impressed. Very nice throw for its pocketable size and well thought out button arrangements. It has survived the rain and muck so far, but fingers crossed someone shoots something that tries to cross the big black, so I can test submersion.

 

[Vigilant]

Varies between a SF Exec Def LED, SF Peackeeper rechargeable, and until my Titans get here, a Nitecore MT1C, which for a Chinese import has been a solid performer, and has quite impressed me! The Jeep stores the M3T, and the 951.

 

[Birds Away]

I don't usually carry one.

 

[masterdekoy]

Streamlight stylus pro. 65 lumens for 6.5 hours and they are durable. Like was mentioned above, I carry this everywhere I go and forget it's there. It may not be the brightest light, but it's capable. And if it ever breaks, I can replace it for less than $20.

 

[K_W]

Either a Surefire G2 Nitrolon LED or a one of 2 well used Gander Mountain 235 lumen / 4 color LED flashlights.

 

[foszoe]

4 sevens Quark AAx2

 

[derrickgoins]

Surefire LX2 and a small ITS Tactical push button light is clipped on my car / house keys.
