I realize there is a lot of subjectivity and personal preference in this question. That is fine, I value any reasonable input. After all, who doesn't enjoy discussing flashlights, right?
This is what I have.
Pocket EDC: 4Sevens Quark 123^2 Tactical R5 (AW 17670)
Backup/Keychain EDC: iTP A3 EOS Upgrade (Energizer e2 lithium)
EDC in cargo pocket: EagleTac T20C2 MkII XM-L T6 (Redilast 2900 18650) *In the mail*
Nightstand emergency: Streamlight 4AA Propolymer Lux (Energizer e2 lithium)
Nightstand regular use: Mag-lite XL100
Vehicle mounted: Streamlight Polystinger LED C4
Shotgun mounted: Olight M20 Warrior Premium R2 (primaries)
Handgun mounted (sometimes) Streamlight TLR-1
Headlamp: Zebralight H30
Others:
Fenix P1D-Q5, Fenix E01, 4D MagLED, 2x 2AA Mags with LEDs, Streamlight microstream, nuwaii 1xAAA, nuwai 2xAAA, surefire G2 w/P60 and P61, brinkman maxfire, and others that don't deserve mentioning. A pila ibc charger is also on the way to upgrade from my ultrafire -139
Wow, sounds like a lot more than it feels like when I list it all out.

What I think I don't have but want: A high quality (not mag) AA powered light. It would be a good thing to have a quality light that will run on the incredibly easy to find AA battery. I guess I am not counting the SL 4AA PP Lux on my nightstand because I never use it. It just sits there and has for years. That is its job and it does it well. And it won't fit in a pocket very well. I like pocket lights.
A real screamer. I don't have one due to: 1) cost, 2) would not be carryable. Every time I see an ad for, say, the maelstrom, I wonder how nice that much light could be.
A good, permanent car light for our second vehicle (the one I am now stuck typically driving). It has only the brinkman maxfire in the glovebox right now.
More lights for the sake of more lights. Differnet brands and types and UIs I haven't been able to try. I've never had or even held so many...thrunite, HDS, jetbeam, nitecore, etc etc.
So where to go from here?
