Paracord around my neck - Muyshondt Aeon
kydex on my belt - SWM V10R Ti
nylon holster (open top) SF9P with Moddoo dropin
nylon holster (velcro flap) HDS Twisty
pocket clip - HDS Clicky

plus there is 47 cr2 mini in the chest pocket of my goretex jacket, a fenix P1CE in my work bag (spare battery carrier really)

the twisty, clicky and SWM will probably all be retired when i get a HDS Rotary, and it will go in a kydex sheath

I have one that stays on my keychain (Arc AAA) so it's always with me.

I also have an Olight S15 that'll I'll clip into a front pants pocket if I feel the need to carry something bigger.

I carry mine as the lanyard to my other EDC.
Leatherman goes in the front right jean pocket and the Zebralight hangs outside.
That quick release is very handy on the Leatherman.

I carry my primary EDC flashlight on a belt loop holster. I find a 2xCR123A light too large to carry in or on a pocket, especially when other items are also carried in the same pocket.

My backup 1xAAA EDC is on a little pouch on another belt loop holster.

My back-backup 2xCR2016 EDC is clipped to my keychain with an easy release hook.

I toyed with the idea of carrying a light around my neck, but I don't like the lack of accessibility when carried inside a shirt or the swinging weight when carried outside shirt.

I once clipped a light directly to my belt, but lost it when using a backpack leaf blower. All my belt holsters are loop holsters now.

If I decided to go with a 1xAA EDC, I might use a pocket clip. However, I already carry so much in my pockets.

The only time I carry a satchel is when I am hiking with my water canteen. No flashlight is included in the satchel. My school backpack used to have a 9 LED light in it, back when I used it daily.

I wouldn't consider a glovebox light EDC.

Always have a Photon Freedom in my pants pocket. Lots of other lights in jackets, desks, brief case, car .... but always a Photon in my pocket. I'll add something else for those dark occasions; Serac S2, T1a, or an HDS but always a Photon. Lost few now, but always replaced them. Nothing is quite so unobtrusive to both carry and use.

Yeah: I have a Photon Freedom as a zipper pull on my 'every day carry' backpack and my 'night-walk' backpack; And a Photon ReX on my keys. The ReX is rarely used but that is the one I loan to others when necessary. No way do I loan out the MBI HF.

The extra Photon has been used for illumination to change a flashlight battery out. (A lot easier than doing it in the dark). But since joining CPF: At night, I now carry significant backup illumination as well; And rarely have to change out cells in the field.

One in my pocket and a small one on my keychain. There is also a few in my car and if I'm at work, there is also one in my laptop bag.

My EDC is either clipped in my front left pocket or in my left cargo pocket.

Plus 2 in my truck, 3 or 4 in my MaxPed Sitka, 1 on my keyring, and the ever-present flashlight app on my phone.

Hat Carry Method works like a headlamp and leaves room for a small EDC light in the hat's side pocket. I was going to post in this thread but I had too many pics and thought it would be better to start new thread.

Clipped front right pocket. (Usually my 119 Ti mule)
Ti Mako flood. (Good warm light but seriously overpriced and ridiculous shipping fees)
If wearing cargo pants/shorts Wildcat with MD3.

Since I am always armed, and carry spare mags as well as a good knife, I only have enough pocket room for one light, my Nitecore MT1A, which is either down in the pocket or clipped to the pocket. I do however have other flashlights available in my vehicles as well plus two lights in a bug out bag too.:)

Then you need more pockets. check out Scottevest.com. I bought a few of their items. My only complaint is that the clothing is not wrinkle free. But I now have more pockets than things to put them in, which is a good problem to have. The pockets make even larger flashlight EDC much easier.
