My Lights_____________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
Everybody minds about their make-up, while they should be making their minds up.
My flashlight collection.
In order of most switched on:
-- Photon Freedom Covert NV Green (cyan) depowered from six to three volts.
-- Maratac 1xAAA
-- Maratac 1xAA
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.
I mostly use my EDC lights for almost everything.
Quark aa regular with 14500
unique fire G10 with 14500.. this is for when people ask to borrow a flashlight.![]()
