How many lights do you EDC? Part 2

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Well I'm sure you use them, but what do you use all 7 for?
I'd imagine after 3 or 4 all of one's lighting needs would be covered?

The others are for the $200.00 bets I collect on when I say I have 7 flash lights on me. How do you think I pay for this hobby in the recession?

HA! Now that is hilarious! I never thought of that. I should try that one a time or two.

I use two:

Fenid PD20 (primary)
Romisen RC-A4 (backup and bike helmet light)

I love the little big power of the CR123A.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Because I always use a bellybag I carry, most of the time a zebralight H60, ARC copy what I mod with a Nichia Led, two 5mm keychain and one with UV cree led, a cheap cr123 light modded with a xpg, and from some days ago I am carrying a ultrafire xml and a trustfire modded with a xml and 2.8 driver, both use 18650, sometimes I carry too a pair of 18650 too...

I almost forget, I have in my Iphone 4 a flashlight app.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

The number is a bit fuzzy, but generally 2. My current pocket light the SC60w, and my keychain light the LD01-SS. I carry an extra battery for the LD01, since I'm not going to pack on me an extra 18650. If I have a coat or my pack I would probably have an additional light or two, but technically I'd say my EDC is 2 lights. In my mind if you're the type of person that carries a light you need to carry an extra cell, and it's always good to have a back-up light in case the other one not there, like the opther day when I accidently left my zebralight at home. With a keychain light I know it's the one most likely to be with me, so it makes sense that it's the one that I carry an extra cell for. With the power of AAA lights, I think basically most people really don't need any more and everyone should carry one.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Generally two - a Photon Freedom on the keychain and a Quark CR123 holstered on my belt. I'm thinking about adding the free coin-cell light I got in a recent order from Battery Junction as the light I loan to people I don't know well enough to trust with the other lights; I wouldn't expect most people to grasp that the Photon Freedom isn't a 99-cent cheapie or the value of the Quark.

4 lately

Lately its been this setup, alternating between the Aeon and the Raw on my neckchain. Plus an LX2 in my bag.

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Since my backpack goes everywhere I do, I carry a lot of lights

Spy 007T- Turbohead
Tri-V
McGizmo LS20- Neutral XP-G & UV 3mm LED's
4Sevens CR2 Ti
Sunwayman V10R Ti
Kuku427 38DD on keychain
Zebralights: H31w/ H30w/ H30r/ SC30w
Aleph Pr-T Quad XP-G on Surefire L4 body

Occasionally a few other lights get tossed in as well.
Spark ST6-500 and a Lummi CR2 Red for bike rides

I carry a lot of lights, but they all get a lot of use!

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Nice pack Rob! I'll have to do some checking around and see where to get one like this or similar. I've wanted a backpack for my EDC gear for awhile. Only problem is, there's not a lot of stores in my area that have big selections of gear you can actually look at before you buy. I could always get one off the "net", but I want to see it first. Would Walmart sell this one you have? I want one like you said. "lots of pockets!"

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Usually it's whatever primary I have that day, my secondary (ITP EOS A1 SS), then my little 5mm key fob. When I'm atwork my keys go in my tool box and I pick up my 4Sevens Preon. So either way I typically carry 3!

Re: How many lights do you EDC?

Hey Jeff,

I got mine in Sam's Club for about half what Amazon has it for. Hope that helps! :thumbsup:

I have not seen them at WalMart. Just did a search at WalMart and couldn't find them either. They definitely have them at Sam's though.

Actually saw that pack last night at my local WM. I was looking for printer ink and they had a few packs with the laptop supplies. Looked very nice!!

Thanks! It seems not all Walmarts stock the same stuff. Weird! Anyway, I'll check my local stores. I'd love to look at the Maxpedition stuff, but noone near me sells them so I can't get one in my hands first. That's why I haven't purchased a backpack from the "net" yet! lol

 

[Tofer]

This time last year, 0...

Since finding CPF im up to 2 or 4, either a quark mini 123 or new jetbeam bc10 in my pocket for general use, E01 on my keys for backup light, and when i go to work i have a Fenix E21 and Streamlight stylus pro in my bag.

LOL! It works for me!

I've been carrying a Maxpedition Falcon II in OD Green for about 5 years now.
It gets switched up from time to time with a Camelbak Mule or a few different Mountain Hardwear packs.
The Falcon II has done an amazing job! I love the way it collapses into itself to make it thin, and I just have to unbuckle the SBR's to allow it to expand to fit more things when out shopping or needing extra layers.
I did add a semi-flexable rigid insert to the back-panel to help make it a bit more rigid and its now MUCH more comfortable.
It's the one pack that gets a LOT of comments from people asking where they can get one!
It can fit a LOT of flashlights in there!! Hahaha!

Bondr006, You carry a LOT of lights too!:wave:
