Hi all,

I've just found that my torch that lives on my keys has unscrewed itself :mecry:and so now I only have the tailcap.....:oops:......can't even remember what it was....

So, wot do you carry around your neck or on your keys..????

I'm after some ideas......Seen some beautiful torches that would look the part but would always be worried of losing the torch (again!)..

So wot are your thoughts>????:thinking:

Mt Fenix E01 has never come unscrewed and has been on my keyring for several weeks.
 
Fenix E01 was what I was thinking of next-----haven't seen anything else I like as much in the same price bracket
 
I just use cheap fauxtons. You can get them at battery junction or lighthound for about a buck apiece.
 
Around my neck I carry a Lummi Ti. Wee & on my key chain is a Mc Gizmo Sapphire. Prior to the Sapphire, I carried an Arc-P on my key chain.
 
I have a McGizmo Sapphire on a Ti chain around my neck and brass Peak N cell Shastas on most keychains.
 
Fenix eo1 is great except for the beam color not that noticeable unless white wall hunting and since there is no window covering the front dust can get in the reflector but doesn't affect the light.great other than those two things.
 
So, whats the answer in a similar price bracket to the E01???? Don't mind paying a bit more for a better light but dwouldn't want to pay a significant more (esp. if its only a small improvement)....???

Disco:candle:
 
Or a Inova Microlight (although some have problem with the sensitive switch)
Or a Abitax Tag Light
 
On my keys, an Arc AAA on one keyring, and 2 Photon Freedoms (one white, one yellow) on my other keyring. I only carry a light around my neck if I feel I need that extra light. In those cases, I use a Surefire E1L, or L1.
 
Since I always leave the house with a PD20 and/or an E1b, I use Streamlights that use button cells for the "light" work. Key-Mate on a neck lanyard and a Nano clipped to my SAK which is always in my pocket.

I don't keep a light on my key chain because I have a lot of keys on it and it rattles and bangs against the dashboard enough already on these rough Michigan roads.
 
Here's my favorite keychain light...

Ok seriously the Fenix LOD, also the Streamlight Nano are great choices..if you don't mind the size increase I usually find a Nitecore EX10 on my keychain...
 
A LH fauxton, and a Streamlight Nano. The Nano has the same beam as the E01, just a tiny bit dimmer, a lot more compact, and runs DD on coin cells instead of regulated from a AAA.
 
As I am always EDCing one or two quality flashlights, I have a simple coin cell light from the Hound on my keys.
 
Streamlight Keymate for several years now as my final backup and / or "it's always there" light. Rarely used, but always ready.
