For EDC, do you prefer one light that can handle everything or multiple lights that are more specialized? Why?

For my primary EDC, I voted for a single do-it-all light. Reasons: lightweight, minimalist, and easy pocket-carry.
Agree with Arch on redundancy, and I also EDC a AAA keychain light for back-up, but that seems to be a different question/poll than what the OP was trying to get at.
Well, it's mostly that I decided it was time for me to move beyond the pharmacy counter cheapo light, but I am wondering if it isn't better to have a single light that gets used in low/mid modes most of the time with an option for high lumens as needed--or if I ought to have a dedicated "walking/utility light" for low/mid and a "what was that" light that's high-only. Seemed like the latter option might be a way to make sure the high-lumen option is always available; rather than having a single light's mid/low suck most of the battery's juice away during regular use so that if I needed to crank up the lumens it wouldn't even be able to hit its max possible brightness.
One for the belt, one in the pocket! Or maybe something small on the keychain/around the neck...I mean seriously, were you thinking about walking around carrying a light in each hand?
Is that info also true for NiMh non-rechargeables? As much as I like the Li-ion perks, I think the ease of finding a spare AA/AAA is going to be the deciding factor in where I align on the battery issue for my own purchases.
it also makes sense for concealed carry guys
Multiple lights provide redundancy redundancy ...
