I am a three light carry person. A SureFire, either an E2 or a 9z accompanied by and Arc-LS and an Arc-AAA.
The SureFires do not see much use anymore.
When I need a light, I grab the Arc-LS or the Arc-AAA 95% of the time and reserve the SureFire for times when it is inconvienent to turn it on by twisting or when I want bright.
My EDC method is going to change. For now a SureFire will remain Clipped to my belt. The Arc-ls with 123 pack will be on my Keychain. The third light is going to rotate.
With the SureFire on the belt and an Arc-ls with 123 on my keychain, I can realisticly cover my lighting needs. But I want to add more economy.
How am I going to add more economy, by using used batteries. I have found that Arc products will light with batteries that will no longer run other products.
I will be saving the environment and batteries by doing this. I have a box full of partially discharged batteries of most types. The battery type that I have most of in a compact format will dictate which third light I carry.
If I have mainly AA's in my partially used box. An Arc-LS with single AA pack will be riding in my Watch Pocket. If most of the batteries are AAA, then an Arc AAA will ride in the watch pocket. If I have a large number of loose 123's, the second Arc will be so equipped.
I am really covered then. I have my almost running for free dim option, the Arc-LS 123 Utility option as a step up, and the SureFire for those rare times when nothing else will do.
Now the 5 watt LS may change everything again. If an Arc-ls 5 watt will replace the E-2 in form and function, It will be my belt light. If it does not fill that role, I will wait for SureFire to have and E-2 5 watt LS.
