My Preon goes *everywhere* and my small 10440 lights go with me most of the time. If I plan on an adventure of some kind I throw a bag full of lights and batteries in the car. I've been through several blackouts at work where I was the only person to have a flashlight. I have a few stashed & locked at work.
I think if your lights are causing you stress you should try to simplify. Enlighten others in your life or send some to the marketplace. Then you can focus on having fewer, but better lights.
My lights that I don't use that often go to family members or friends. :thumbsup:
