Re: What\'s your
Thanks to this forum, this newbie bought an Arc LSH; and now it hangs around my neck at night, ready for whatever. But I have to admit that the Streamlight 3AA Luxeon has amazing power, and I tend to grab it if I need more throw.
Sadly, I still have to lug around the 2 million candle Vector to read the stream flow gage on the other side of the river.
When I hear the cougar rustling the salmon berries, my eyes light up and I don't need nothing but feet.

My Arc LSH-P with 2AA pack is the normal light I grab when around the house. I have mostly small lights, but if I need something more, I pick up a Pelican M6 as a "I thought I heard something in the back yard" light.

Mostly the Micro-illuminator, unless I need hands-free, then it's the Shorelite VX-1. Just got a MM-modified Mm*g, and that's good for more light if needed..
Area light, custom CCFT lantern.
Nightlite, that weird little thing pictured in the MilkyCandle thread. The one that looks like electronic parts on strychnine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Bumps in the night, 3D m*g, w/halogen or 5D.

Re: What\'s your
I have a multiple approach to this. I have a lot of different lights handy around the house and pick the right tool for the job.
If I don't need much light, I grab a $1 key chain light or an ARC AAA.
If I need a little more light, I grab my PALight or EternaLight Derringer.
If I need more than that, I grab the ARC LSHF-P or my MiniMag with BB400. I also have some of ElektroLumens Blasters around and will grab them if they are handy.
For things that go bump in the night, I grab a TigerLight.
And to light up the yard, I grab the 990. I am not showing off, I am conditioning the bulb in the 990...

Re: What\'s your
When I'm walking around since the L4 is in my pocket, and it has the PILA battery, I use that.
In the office I use the L4 or the Lambda Illuminator (with lithium AAs)
In the middle of the night, I have a red LED UKE 2AAA by my bed, but I also have a 6D mag with new Xenon lamp, a 3C SL ProPolymer LED and a G2 with KL-3 LED head.
For things that go bump outside my office at home (it has a patio door) I usually grab my TL-3 Xenon.
When traveling, my L6 is on the night table.
Cheers,
Richard

Re: What\'s your
If it is something in the yard I grab my 1,000,000 Vector. No use playing around, just LIGHT IT UP!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
If I'm up in the middle of the night I have my Moon-glo ball. Soothing blue light, doesn't bug anyone.

Re: What\'s your
Blades, I forgot about the good old Vector 1,000,000. I got one of those for my brother as sort of a gag gift (since they're less than $15) and it turned out to be a really solid light! I keep meaning to stop and pick another one of those up for myself since they're hands down the best bang for the buck that I've ever seen. Even though I don't have many uses for a heavy light canon like that, it's quite a novelty item. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: What\'s your
For around the house, I use my Minimag with Opalec Newbeam. I usually don't leave the house when I'm at home, so I rarely need anything brighter. If I did, then I would use my Arc-LS.
As for my EDC: Arc LS and CMG Infinity Ultra.

Checking car problems is the Surefire E2e.
General around house usage is the Streamlight SL7 4AA or the Streamlight 3C/10 led.
EDC is the Arc AAA and the Arc LSL.
Hands-free repair light is a homebrew headlamp with 4 Nichia 9000mcd, faceted reflector and 4AA.

Re: What\'s your
Most of the time its one of the kids getting up in the night, and the ARC AA is perfect for lighting up the room without waking the rest of the house up.
For the dirty jobs, going under the house, car work, etc. I use an old SuperSabre that work issued.
If I'm going out for a late night jog, its the G2 with either the P60 or P61 lamp.

Usually my X5t or E1e/KL1 for indoors, else G2 for outdoors. Sometimes both, just because I'm a flashaholic and can't be caught w/o an appropriate light if the need arises! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
