I've been VERY selective in buying lights since finding CPF, as I have other even more expensive interests :), but the few lights I've bought have been invaluable.

1. NovaTac 120P: main EDC.
2. Fenix LD2 CE: bicycle light.
3. 3xD cell Mag light modded with XR-E LED and 3 stage driver: around the house.

These 3 lights do a great job of covering all my portable lighting needs.

The lights I use the most are:

HDS 170T
Zebralight SC600 (have not had a week yet but now has a place on my belt and I don't see that changing anytime soon).
Zebralight H60W (probably my most used light as I use it in the leathershop nightly but I don't carry it with me.)

I generally have some type of tactical light on my belt, and that changes from the TurboX, to a Milkyspit, to a Pentagon X2 with Malkoff drop in, just sort of depends on my mood and what I may have planned for the day.

The lights I like the most... that's tough. I like them all.

Between my wife & I
1 - Her Zebra H30 for reading in bed.
2 - SPY007 , my EDC and used nightly
3 - Haiku, occassionally replaces the SPY as it does carry a bit more comfy in the front pocket.

Most used would have to be my Titan, my Haiku, and E2e/Strion combo. Other notables, Mako and EO1 on keys, A2 with warm ring, and my Logan QTC.

For me:

  1. HDS 100wwcn (modded with neutral white xp-g)
  2. Preon Revo NW
  3. Third one was the toughest to pick out, but I'd say a G2 with a Nailbender NW dropin

My current Top 3 of most used flashlights:

1. Fenix E05. This little light lives in my front jeans pocket, and is used every time I need a bit of light somewhere.

2. Fenix LD40. This one lives in my small EDC backpack, and I use it almost every time I need a decent amount of light.

3. Fenix TK35. This light is used when I need a 'pocketable sun', or just want to show off with it. ;)

My TK41 makes for a good fourth place, I use it when I'm outdoors at night and need some decent throw.

Fenix E05 for a tiny light.

Quark Mini 2xAA for a midsize light (and chosen as it also doubles as a very good travel flashlight)

Fenix TK41 for any situation I don't mind greater weight/bulk.
