What do you keep next to your bed?

[JohnnyLunar]

My nightstand flashlight is a Streamlight Poly Tac LED (120 lumens). Single mode, forward clicky, extremely durable (I've thrown this light around a lot to test it's ruggedness), plenty of white light, and I don't feel like I'm neglecting a more prized flashlight by leaving it unused on the nightstand 24/7/365. If one of my Surefires were on the nightstand, I'd be constantly removing it to play with. Since the Streamlight isn't anything special, I forget about it, and it just gathers dust next to the bed, but I know it's always there.

The other nearby light source is a Streamlight TLR-1, attached to my primary home defense tool. I want 1 hand available if I have no other choice than to go through the house in the dark with a weapon.

SF T1A Titan on a neck lanyard for getting up at night for a drink or bathroom. If I need more than that there is a SF C3 w/M91 on my dresser.

Sunwayman V10R Ti with KUKU tritium switch and blue trits. :thumbsup:

This for me as well, except mine has orange trits. Wonderful light.

For the moment I have a Dorcy 3AAA 135 lumen (supposedly) light for bump in the night issues.

Fenix TK-11 and a Spark SD6-460. Gotta go hands free to grab the peacemaker.

HDS set at level 1 and clicked off - If a trip to the bathroom is required, click on; for anything more serious, max. is just a push away from moonlight level 1. I have momentary and memory selected. This is a magnificent flashlight, a 200T. new style and the intelligence of the UI. is quite amazing and sophisticated: Not complicated, for effect, but ingenious in design and arranged with the users' convenience firmly in mind...I'm a huge fan!

My sample has a pure white beam with solid spill and would be in the 230-250 lu. range. There is nothing I would change on this fine Flashlight! :thumbsup:

This seems to be a popular setup, had mine for many years, still works with authority

Quark AA2 regular NW. There's also a 4D mag with Mac's SST-50 drop in, a 3D mag with a Malkoff XP-G drop in, TK40, TK60 and a couple in the drawer next to my bed. It's where I have to keep my lights as it's "my side" of the room, apparently.

Maglite S3D - Works like a charm.

 

[Quiksilver]

1. For bump in the night - Light switch and firearm

2. For bathroom trip - HDS Rotary on 0.22 lumens

3. For serious bump in the night - Light switch, firearm, and car alarm remote (turn the alarm on immediately).

#2 seems to get the most use.

I usually have my EX10 next to me when I sleep as it has a blue trit in its piston so I can see it in the dark.

Its interesting to see what others have, the lights as well as the 'other things' available if ever needed, alot of us think alike, I am surprised that more did not mention dogs, I guess they ar not on the night stand though!!!!!!!!!!!
I could just picture someone's nightstand with several lights, maybe a knife or other item and a big dog laying on ot also.!!
