Next to a police officer patrolling the dark streets at night, I am willing to bet people in the entertainment business get a lot of use out of their EDC lights. I work at a large TV production facility, and constantly find myself pulling out my LumaPower LM31 to light up a dark corner in the studio. Between productions, we turn on the some of the bright, overhead "work lights" to see our way around, but during the show we just have our alleyway "safety lights" to illuminate things behind the set. The safety lights are ok, but if you are working on something inside a panel, behind a set piece, or under the set, out comes the LED light.
Years ago, I made due with the good ole' Mini Maglite (2AA incandescent)... but after discovering higher quality LED lights, I never looked back. Along with my LumaPower LM31 (which I absolutely love!), I carry an ARC-AAA Premium edition in my change pocket for backup. At home, my wife uses a Fenix E01 for a booklight, and we have an Inova X5, as a general purpose backup.
My friend and fellow technician carries a Fenix LD10 with him when he is working... People know we always have our lights with us, and they will ask: "Hey...Can I borrow that for a minute?" I am always happy to oblige! Do any of you guys work in the broadcast tv field? If so, how do you illuminate your way?
