I answered a question in another thread today regarding how much a Haiku weighed, and it got me thinking. I generally carry a Haiku and an EO1 for backup, totalling 4.22 oz. The rest of my pocket carried gear brings me to just shy of 1 pound.
Two wallets, one for ID, one for cash/ cards
XM-18
Leatherman Sideclip
Small SAK/mini bic on splitring w/EO1
Cellphone
Generic ballpoint
Work keys/doorpass

Let's hear what your edc with lights weighs!

in my pockets i detest carrying stuff other than my bunch of keys, so i got only:
RIGHT: 1 minimized bunch of keys with keys and a 1x AAA light, e.g. iTP A3 w/ unprotected 10440 (...g total)
LEFT (eventually): a 1x AA light, e.g. quark aa w/ 14500 (=45+21g)

the 66g in my LEFT are about the maximum i am willing to carry in my LEFT. i carry it because i like lights and not because i need it over my AAA light.

i would never ever carry a loaded HDS at or in my trouser pockets. never. too heavy, too bulky for my taste. Haiku Ti? .. erh .. it's a nice looking torch :D

money, cell, cards? in front pockets of my jacket, motto "if i dont wear a jacket, then i dont need money, cell, cards" lol (*joke*). i am thinking of getting a leatherman one day .. but no for *everyday* carry.

When my aluminum iTP A3 EOS died, I replaced it with a Fenix LD01 Stainless. I was surprised by how noticeable the difference is. The iTP was 9g, the LD01 SS is 35g.

While I'm at it, allow me to complain about this forum's automatic removal of extra spaces. Maybe I want those extra spaces there.

Why not? 2 straps to the shoulders, point it back, get on rollers skates and... well... at best you'll be alone on the road in no time.

btw you ve quotes manufacturer specs. they are really off (itp is more like 14g and ld01 22 is more like 53g, see the many detailed google reviews) but i do agree.

ld01 ss is a bit heavy for keychain carry!!

Until my HDS ship comes in it's a Malkoff Little Twisty at 150+ grams with 2 Eneloops. HDS should be closer to 100g.

it's 89.080 grams equipped with a AW IMR 18350 fully charged battery (see the green indicator, I do believe that the charged ones weight more :) and a hand-made leather short lanyard. Providing about 900 lumens on full it's about 10 lumens per gram.

My normal EDC consists of a carbon fiber Spyderco Chaparral knife, titanium Klarus MiX6 on a titanium chain around my neck, and an elactic sleeve in my pocket with a ti Preon 1 light, ti Inka pen, and a ti AG Russell 3.0 lockback knife. Total weight of all that is 5.6 oz. Barely even know it is there.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. What is it?

Hey fyrstormer, look who posted it ;) It's Lux-RC's own creation, FL33, wanted to get one some time back, but need to save some money, buy some other lights first, save some more and then maybe one day ;)

That's just water weight and time of the month.

Indeed. It's a great light, very well made, but not a purchase I'd repeat for that reason. I try to keep the keychain very light.

Sorry, with only 7 posts I didn't pay much attention to his name. Is there a thread about this light?

All the above seem to be heavyweights, my Photon Freedom Micro weighs 6.3 g by itself or 8.8g including necklace & clip.

My ITP A3 EOS sans clip but with eneloop (no point carrying a light without a battery, right ?) weighs 21.6g
