How do you carry your EDC?

[fisk-king]

Work: Clipped to side pocket by knee in cargo jeans (HDS). AAA light (Mako) on the side of my leatherman surge holster.
Other: Skinth in front left pocket (Muyshondt Nautilus) and a AAA light (Thrunite Ti) on my keychain. In the summer the Nautilus is usually replaced with a Lf2xt.

E2D/E1D by the right-side pocket.
S10 at the bag.

Front left pocket with pocket clip and electrical tape wrapped around the top of the clip so it doesn't pop off like previously owned flashlights😎

Currently I have a 4sevens Quark 2 123 clipped in left front pocket. I tried to replace that with a Nitecore P12 but the clip came off and got lost. So, it got relegated to bedside use. I am currently in the market for a high lumen compact 18650 light to replace the 4 sevens. Any suggestions?

The best I have found so far is the Zebralight Sc62 it isn't much bigger than the sc52 that takes a 14500 but pumps out 1000 lumens on high, the modes are more complex than normal but 5 minutes with the manual and you'll know how to use any zebralight (if you don't already!)

Hope that helps!

Quark QTA with 780-lumen QT2L-X Burst Mode head, AW 14500 IMR cell,

I have been thinking of doing that with mine (QP2L-X). How well does it perform with the lower voltage? Still run boost mod fine for short runs?
I rarely run mine on boost more than ~30 sec. at a time.

Thanks,
Jim

The models are in the process of changing ( hds 140 with the 219a in route now) but as of today thrunite t10s in front right pocket ( unless at work its a fenix pd30) with leatherman cx, streamilght nano on keys and fenix pd35 on the side of my Edc bag.

At home my light rides in the left side tool pocket of my Vertx Phantom OPS pants. Either a Surefire E1D, Zebralight sc52 or sc62 lately. At work I have a Fenix tk35 on my belt, but I'll swap it with a surefire E2D when I know I'll be working in good light.

Watched him grow from a couple pouches and a scrawny website to a small empire. Dude did a killer job!

Boost mode is just fine using an AW IMR 14500!

What flashlight (if any) do you keep on your key chain? Looking for one that isn't too heavy to ruin the ignition. Leaning towards the Fenix E12 http://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-e12-led-flashlight/ because 1) output....2) the easy access of AA batteries.

I have a budget that would accommodate any Fenix single-AA, but I keep coming back to the E12. I like the pocket clip on some of the other models, but I can live without one, and it seems like they want minor differences in features (mostly switches) to justify big price increases. If anyone can suggest another brand of single-AA under $60 that's good enough better than the E12 to justify the extra money, I'd love to look at it.

Zebralight SC52 ($64). :thumbsup:

I usually have my Elzetta Bravo with the standard Malkoff M61 head clipped to my front left pocket using the Raven Concealment pocket clip. Then I pocket the Elzetta Alpha (High/Low tail cap) in my right pocket in case my primary goes down. Always be prepared, "Two is one, and one is none". haha

Thanks, I'll give it a look.

FourSevens Mini AA with 1X14500 (I know, not officially supported) on a dangler clip in left front pocket.

A small 1xAAA in jeans coin pocket.

Spyderco Delica clipped on right front pocket.

Depending on were I am and what I am doing, If I know I will be walking around outside after dark, I will bring one of my 18650 lights. (or 2, or 3, or...) 🙂 hehe

If I am wearing a jacket (winter etc) then each jacket I usually wear has a E05 or E01, a mini lighter, and small swiss army knife. Each in their own pockets so they don't rattle around against each other...

I still carry my McGizmo Haiku clipped to the watch pocket of my Levis.

2. Holster

I just made a thread specific to this method. I carry it on my left side, in a holster with the bulb facing down.

 

[M.Link]

Always have an E1B with a Z68 tailcap clipped on my right front pocket right next to my Benchmade Striker knife. Don't even notice it there, except I can't fit much else in my pocket (I wear Wranglers). I also have a rechargeable Streamlight mounted in my truck, and my A2 Aviator in my backpack that's in my vehicle each day.

 

[Danielight]

I carry my Olight i3EOS in my left front pants pocket. When in use, I often just hold it in my mouth so that I can have both hand free (like last night when I had to hold a hammer and crowbar to chisel ice out of the downspout in front of my house :sick2:

 

[Shaifnan]

In my left front pocket I have the LD02, right front pocket the Olight s10 Baton. And on my belt on the right side the LD35 in a holster.
