Pigeon Hole Your Lights!

[Stevie]

Is is possible to pigeon hole our flashlights?

I'd be interested to see what everyone thinks. In your opion, what is best for:

a) Night hiking
b) Security / defence
C) EDC
D) A costly purchase that sees absolutely no functional use, but you live in pride of the fact that you own one. You take it outside once a month for the sheer fun of blinding everything, living or dead. Hee.

Look forward to your opinion!

Cheers

What does this even mean?

 

[gcbryan]

What don't you understand...Pigeon Hole? It means to try to fit something into a neat hole whether it really fits or not.

In this context it means to put a label by function on your lights. Which light do you have that could be labeled a "night hiking light", a "self-defense light", etc.

 

[gcbryan]

A). Uniquefire L2 low mode
B) Uniquefire L2 high mode
C) ITP A3
D) N/A I don't live in pride of owning any lights nor do I have any expensive ones

I'm sure there's better lights out there but this is what I have:
A) SF saint/minimus

C) Fenix P2D CE
D) 2D li-ion P7 Mag
