Off duty, only one. Either an Olight M18 maverick or a Nitecore P12...depending how I feel that day.

On duty, 3. One of the two Above, a 5.11 atac plx and a tank007. I work nights. Lots'a light is important.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

I always carry two single-18650 lights...one for me, and one as a backup/loaner. I have two additional 18650 lights in my work bag, should I ever forget to bring my usual EDC. I also have a NV green Photon, a white Fauxton, and a MBI HF SS on my keychain. If I go hiking, I add two large lights. Either a TM11vn/TK75vn, or a TM26/K40vn. I sometimes carry a Preon Penlight, depending on what I am doing and what I am wearing. So two lights is the absolute minimum, no matter what, and at times I have up to seven total, counting the keychain lights. My lighting needs are very well covered...now I just need to work on all my other prep.

Normaly I EDC 2 lights, both 2AA mini mags with LED drop ins.
If however I have any reason to suspect that the light might go out, then I would take more.

Usually a couple more mini mags, and some glowsticks.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Three every day. On my belt are one 47's mini X in a fenix p1 holster and a Zebralight H600 XM-L in a small Solarforce holster. On my key chain is a Titanium Inov. XP-G 1xAAA. If I go out and know I'll be out during the dark hours I'll toss into the car a large "D" ring which holds a Malkoff MD4 with Hound Dog XM-L2 5000K head powered by 2x18650's stuffed into a leather Surefire 9P holster. One blue Solarforce L2p with EDC+ triple Nichia 219 running one 18650 all in a covered Solarforce holster. One grey Solarforce L2p with EDC+ triple XP-G2 running on one 18650 in a solarforce holster. And, for backup batteries I have another Solarforce holster which I've crammed two plastic boxes of two 18650 batteries each.

I voted 2, but its actually usually at least 3. I have my usual small carry light in a pocket - something palm sized that runs off 1xAA or 1XCR123. (I'm doing some upgrades on those right now). But, I also carry lots of Photon II little mini LED lights. They are on zipper pull-tabs on several of my coats and fleece pull-overs. Also have those on many Swiss Army Knives and I always carry one of these. They are also on key chains. They're a back-up that's come in handy many times.

2 or 3, depending on outfit formality = available pocket space. Most often my primary is Peak Eiger 10440, but when there's something going on, I wear cargo pants so primary place is taken over by SF A2, and Eiger becomes backup. No matter what, there is always Quantum DD on my neck.

I only carry one when I'm not at work. A Tank007 on my keyring. When I work, I carry that one and a small Hugsby single AA model on my EDC backpack

Well right now since I'm at work I'm carrying a energizer keychain light a eagle tac d25c2 clicky on a lanyard in my front pocket. Maglight xl50 in a holster on my left side and a maglight 2d led in a loop holster on my right side. And a energizer pro headlamp on my hardhat.....soo five!! Lol no I'm not afraid of the dark! I work nights in a scrap yard without good light it's VERY easy to trip and bust it or get impaled.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Depends upon the situation but generally its just one- A quark pro or a small clicky...maybe my g2 malkoff. A MD2 in a napsack, etc. That light is just too heavy for me to carry and Im not going to go the holster route.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

I always have a Fenix LD01 in my Leatherman Surge pouch on one side of my belt as well as a Fenix PD32UE on the other side in its own holster. But then I carry my backpack with me to work and pretty much wherever I go to visit people, and it contains a Fenix TK75, an Armytek Wizard Pro Warm, and a full set of spare batteries for all of those lights in a small Pelican case.
