Backup LED Flashlight

[CPFBiology]

What do you use for a backup LED Flashlight?
(What is your EDC?)

 

[ti-force]

My EDC light is usually a Quark 123-2 that I modded with an XP-G R3 neutral white tint emitter running on 1x AW17670 Li-ion, but right now I have one of the limited run warm white heads on it :D. I don't need a backup every day because when I consider the environment I'm in most of the time, I could actually survive if my Quark failed (slim chance anyway :D), but when I'm headed into or out of the woods in the dark during hunting season (or any other time for that matter) my EDC light changes to a Quark AA modded with a red XP-E emitter running on an AW14500 Li-ion with my Quark 123-2 as backup. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I only carry a backup at times when I put myself in places where it's extremely important to have a light.

This is my EDC package:

 

[Dual]

Big one main, small one backup.

 

[kramer5150]

ITP-A3 or a fenix E0

 

[flatline]

I carry the ITP AAA on my keychain and the Zebralight H501w on my belt. They serve different functions, so it's hard to call one the primary and the other the backup.

Sometimes I carry a 3rd light (either a MG L-mini II or a Quark AA). When I carry a 3rd light, then the H501w and ITP AAA become the backups.

I use a Backup. I fell for the name.

Edit: I should mention that my Backup's backup is currently a Quark AA, located on my keychain. Only mild butt injury has occurred so far.

 

[BarryG]

My main EDC is my Jet-1 Pro V.3 and my back-up has been my IlluminaTi.

[mcnair55]

[recDNA]

Edc dereelight shorty with 3 mode r5 & imr16340. Backup is mini 123 also with imr16340

 

[WESBC]

I don't normally carry a back up, but when I do its my E1DL that matches my E2DL :) Oh and they both run off of primaries

 

[Captain Spaulding]

I wear my Lummi Raw NS always on a dog tag chain around my neck as my backup. Of course I also have a Photon Freedom on my keys that are with me 90% of the time.

These are both backups to whatever EDC I am currently carrying in my front pants pocket. (lately one of my HDS Clickys or my LF2XT)

Then I have two other "backups" in my glove box, one Green SF G2 LED and my Ray S20 in case everything else fails and I need something that will run on common AAA cells.

 

[jabe1]

As a backup, Quark MiNi AA neutral with an energizer clip on it. Primary will vary depending on the situ.

 

[yowzer]

Fenix LD01 stainless steel Q5 edition on my keychain.

 

[HorseFilms]

Primary: Quark AA2 Tac

Backup: Mini AA Warm

However, I find myself reaching for the Mini almost all the time, so maybe that's my primary now. I might be turning into a warm fan.:oops: My wallet is going to be even more empty soon.

 

[chris23]

Main EDC: Surefire LX2 Lumamax, backup: Streamlight Microstream

 

[TOQ]

Main EDC - Olight M20-R5

Backup EDC - Olight T-10

Both lights carried in the same holster with extra backup set of batteries for each as well............

 

[LeeDeaton]

My main light is a Quark AA2. My backup is a Maratac AAA. Although it seems like I'm using the Maratac more and more, mainly because I can hold it with my teeth (my lips are like, curled over my teeth, since the sound/feeling of teeth on metal/ice/whatnot is horrifying to me).
If I'm going out with a bunch of people at night or for a long period of time I bring my LD20 along too, which mainly serves as a loaner light/battery carrier.

 

[B0wz3r]

Main EDC: NiteCore EZAAw

Backup: JetBeam Jet III Pro ST (not really a "backup" because I carry it w/me pretty much any time I'm out of the house).

When cycling I also have a Quark AA2 XPG NW on my handlebars with a twofish block.
