I carried my TC-R2 using the pocket clip in my left front pocket. Before that I carried my NiteCore SR3 inside the same left front pocket but with a lanyard tied to it so the lanyard hung out of my pocket for quick access. I'm in the process of looking for a new EDC light and it will be carried the same way with either a pocket clip or the lanyard method. I do find that the lanyard method makes it easier to place your hand in the pocket to find keys and such though.
How do you carry your EDC light?

6th gen L1 with an E1B clip and tail shroud. It is clipped to a dress belt while at work and casual it is usual in my pocket.

Carabiner attached to my belt loop, Quark Mini AA hanging down inside my front pants pocket.
Easy and fast access, not attached to my keys, and doesn't get scratched up by other things down inside the pocket. Oh and the carabiner can function as an anti-roll device too.

With jeans I typically have a BK135A Jetbeam or a Nitecore D10 or D11 in the 5th pocket.
Sometimes I'll carry one in a back pocket, but I don't like having them in a front pocket where they'll get beat up by my keys, knife, or scratch up my phone.
I like carrying some bezel-down in my back right pocket.
Or if its summer and I'm outside a lot I'll stick my E2D, MD2, MD3, 6P, C2, etc. in a cargo pocket. Thats pretty comfortable for me.

I have been spoiled by my friend, Scout24, customization. He installs mcgizmo's Universal clip to my lights.
So my light always rides in my left side front pocket deep carried.
Here is the pic from sandwich shoppe.
My Quark Ti AA looks like this one.

I carry an AAA light in my jeans watch pocket,
sometimes an rcr2 in my normal pocket,
anything bigger only in coat pockets or backpack.

Quark 123 no clip in my pocket. IllumimaTi on the keychain.
I expect a kydex belt holster for my microtech knife and quark AA tac to come in soon.

I carry my Zebralight SC51 clipped in my shirt pocket. Pants pockets seem to fill up with keys, knife, coins, etc. I've read here this light has an above average chance of being accidentally turned on while in a pocket. It seems less likely to happen in a shirt pocket. trgrhppy

I EDC my iTP Eos A2, which i clip to my keys-pocket, chest-pocket or my belt, wherever it's least likely to be knocked off accidentally.
If i'm going somewhere that's more than walking distance, or if i know I'll be out at night, or for extended periods of time, i'll bring my backpack which contains a 2x CR123A light of some sort (i like to vary it), two or more spare CR123A cells and two extra Lithium L91's for the A2.
i like to think that i'm reasonably prepared. My pack also has a small hank of Paracord, a pen-screwdriver (0 and 1 Philips, 1/8 and 5/32 flat) and an Ethernet Cable.

JetBeam PA01 in the inner pocket of a sport-coat's side pocket unless I know I wont be home until after dark in which case it's a toss up between a JetBeam RRT-0 or a Quark 123^2 clipped in a pants pocket. One of the things I like about carrying the RRT-0 is its stock clip is a deep carry clip. A Quark deep carry clip for the 123^2 is on back order.
You gonna love that quark AA tactical. Mine has the deepcarryclip and a blue button. My all-time favorite light. Run a 14500 in it too.
Ok my edc:I don't carry all these at once.btw
Quark AA tactical: deepcarryclipped right front pocket
Quark 123 tactical: holstered on belt.
Quark 123 titanium w/clip: holstered mostly or sometimes I use the clip(rarely)
Quark 1232 reg:holstered always
Quark AA2tactical:holstered always.
Nitecore ex10:clipped right front pocket
Nitecore d10: clipped right front pocket
Tiablo e3a: in watch pocket or deep in pocket with lanyard attached runs a 10440.
Maratac ss AAA: clipped in pocket or around neck without clip attached.
Streamlight keymate titanium: on keys always.
Surefire 6p:don't edc anymore until I bore it for 18650 and fina a holster I like.
