Far side of crazy.
Work Key chain in my front or back pocket-NuwaiQlll.
House Keys in my front or back pocket with an AAA, N-Cell-Peak led.
Watch Pocket-Cr123a, Cr2 Peak leds-various heads.
Occasionally, an E2d in my front pocket.
Backpack-daypack, whatever light suits my fancy or needs for the day or as a backup.

Front pants pocket for me, back pocket does not work for me as I am likely sitting in the car and that would be uncomfortable with a light in the back pocket! :mecry:

Typically:
Akoray 1x10440/AAA goes in front-left pocket
Coleman MAX 3xAAA in belt holster at 9:30 with jeans, or in jacket pocket otherwise.
Streamlight Nano on basicHolster key-yo-yo
Lighthound fauxton on key-ring proper (detachable from yo-yo)
At least a fauxton, and typically another AA or AAA light, in jacket pockets.

(Right now, I'm carrying a surplus of lights, as I have new ones to try out -- an Akoray 14500/AA, and a Streamlight Microstream. But I haven't yet decided whether to EDC them, much less assigned them dedicated carry positions.)

It depends on the trousers I am wearing.

Wearing combats with a thigh pocket the light goes there (a Fenix L1T)
With trousers with tighter pockets like most jeans I will often just take an E01 in my right pocket
If I am going somewhere I know I will need a light (camping, exploring, etc...) I will stick it in a belt holster.

I have a belt holster from spec ops that I use for the 170Cn. I use it when I'm out of the house (work, etc)

I put the 140CEgt in my front right pocket.

I EDC my Fenix P2D Q5 in the belt holster that was supplied with the light. The P2D Q5 is my main EDC, but my back up lights are:

Right front pocket: Romisen RC-N3 Q5, 2AA mode.
Left front pocket: Surefire 6P with Z49 tailcap+M2 bezel+DX R2 drop-in.
Left rear pocket: Surefire E1B with Z68 tailcap bezel down.
On Neck lanyard: ARC AAA-P (CS) just in case all the others fail.

Also in my Right front pocket is my Batuca battery carrier with 8 Primary CR123s.


Happy Dark Trails
