3 years ago I was at a Walmart with my wife and our 3 small children. It was about 8:00 P.M. when a bad thunderstorm hit and eventually, you guessed it, the electrical power went out. Don't know if they didn't have emergency lighting or it just didn't work but it was pitch black dark inside. It wasn't long before people in the store began to panic. I'm sure there were thieving types that were going to steal and employees/loss prevention types trying to stop it. I remembered that I put a small photon LED on my wifes key ring so I got it from her, corralled the family and led my family out as quickly as I could leaving our cart full 'o' stuff right there in the isle.
Ever since that night, I vowed that my wife and I would have a real flashlight on us everywhere we go.....day or night. Neither one of us have broken that vow. I am however always in search of something better, hence, here I am. Our EDC's are a SF L4, SF L2, SF G2 with BOG Cree Q5 drop in, SL NF2 LED or a SL Scorpion LED. All great lights but I'm always on the lookout.
