I always have my Ti PD-S clipped to my waistband, however I like to carry at least 3 depending on the situation.

I voted 1 as I truly only EDC my keychain light every day, all day. I'd say 50% of the time i'll have a light in a holster or in a coat pocket. So this dosnt count a 3rd in my car or travel bag.

Always 1 light on my belt holster: either the SF L4 - Milkyspit Boxster or SF L1 with McGizmo ALM dumb head. When traveling, up to 4 or 5 in luggage and bugout bags along with primaries, rechargeables, and charger. Range is from a PalLight to a MagCharger85.

If you want to be strict about it, I EDC 2 lights - one in my pocket and one on a keychain (in the another pocket).

I could have said 3 since I keep another one in my bag, but I don't always have my bag with me, so I stayed with 2.

I've always got a 1AAA light (presently a LF2XT) in one pocket. The old Arc AAA is on the keychain. And, I'm also currently carrying my QMini 123 in another pocket, but may go back to packing the LF3XT instead.

One or two depending. If it's middle of day and I'll mostly be in town, I'll just pocket my Quark AA-T /w extra cells. If it's night and/or out in the country I'll also throw my Solarforce L2 /w LF R2 into my jacket pocket.

1xAAA 80 lumen illuminaTi, with 8 blank sticker labels, used as tape.

Nokia cell phone, Cameras flash is a floody flashlight, spacebar button activates light even with keypad locked, Favorite backup light. always handy.

One key has a very small red LED light.

Usually a 1XRCR123, ultrafire A1 230 lumen or Olight M20 Warrior R2 250 lumens.

Can bring a pen with lazer and small white LED.

So 4 or 5 lights, But most are very discrete. :sssh: :twothumbs

Currently it's a Nitecore EX10 SP, Quark AA2 Tactical, Quark AA2 Turbo, Energizer headlamp (for when you need two hands) and a Photon Pump on the keys, as well as all this other stuff. I hate things in my pockets so yes, there is a man bag, how else would I EDC an A4 diary?

I always try to carry one LED FL with a spare battery. Plus, have another LED FL easily available (BOB, car, drawer) with its spare battery.

I've consistently EDC'd one light for the past few years. There are times where I had two or three, but always just one. While I would like to carry a spare, I simply just have no more room in my pockets, and no murse for me.

I have the little Lighthound keychain light on my keys so that one goes everywhere.

One of my Malkoffs always comes with me in one of the pockets.

There's a Zebralight in my jacket, so if I have my jacket on that one is along for the ride.

2-3 then, 1-2 if you don't count the single-digit keychain light.:eek:

A small "LiteXpress Mini Palm 100" (small 1AA LED light with a forward clicky) on my SMART key, one of three Surefire 6P lights (rotational basis) on my belt and a small iTP SA-1 in my Messengerbag.

Cheers
Thorsten
