Pocket Check- last 6 months

[paulyg]

This is a fun group and the knowledge base always blows my mind. Here's what I want to know:
Go back 180 days. What light was in your pocket (belt pouch, sling bag, tactisack etc) the most number of days? Include your 2nd light ONLY if it was in your pocket. Keychain lights are excluded.
Also, anyone carrying one for work, I'm talking about off duty.

I'll go first
SureFire Backup 5/200

I don't remember what light was in my pocket last month!!??

Easy one for me- HDS Rotary NLT with 18500 body.

I supplement it with one of a few other lights (Surefire Incan E2e or 6p, Zebralight H600fc, Malkoff M91BN, PK-PR1, 4sevens QUARK tactical and Convoy C8) but the HDS is always on me.

My EDC's: pocket carry
Top to bottom;
- Malkoff MDC 1x123 with a group buy 361N in a VME and lithium battery. Since August 2022. The finish is still nearly perfect. It starts on low for times only a little bit of light is needed. If I recall correct there were 17 of the M361 made for CPF members.

- PKDL PR-1 since June 2016. Early production one. PVD coating has held up well considering mingling with coins and knife daily. Plumber o'ring for added grip (a gurdygurds idea). Lithium battery means about 500 (sustained) lumens on high.

- PKDL PL-2 since August 2016. Very early production unit. The clip is one of 9 prototypes that never went into production. A small carabiner allows it to hang from a nail or car keys.

I very [very] seldom carry a light in my pocket, mostly it's clipped a belt loop closest to my fly

 

[MidnightDistortions]

I always carry my LedLenser T7 light, except for work.

These two every day for the last four years; Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA and an Olight 1R2 EoS

Surefire L1 Gen6 has been in my front left pocket everyday the last 13 years. The only exception was a 10-day work trip in 2021 where I took a shiny new Streamlight Protac 1L1AA.

Last six months?
Main light varies.
Back-up light is a 2AAA Powertac Saber LED penlight.
Heck, forget six months. We're talking a handful of years.

In the last 6 months? It could be any of the following:
modified Lumintool 2.0
modified Acebeam TAC AA
Surefire 6P with LED drop in
Surefire E2d LED gen 1
Nitecore P20UV
Nitecore MH12
Fenix E12 in the pocket of my back pack (I think)

There could be more but I cant think of any this early in the morning.

Dunno, a mix of these. I like the 90X a lot more than I was expecting. The AA-1L is a good light but it's too large for someone not using the AA feature.

Keychain lights are excluded.

<looks sadly at RovyVon A8 and Fenix UC02> Guess some of us don't get to play. Though I can't think of any situation when I've thought "Darn it, this light is no good, I should have brought a real flashlight".

I spend too much time in and around water. I want lightweight as the fabric dries. I use the original McGizmo trick of adding SS split rings to quick dry shorts and it keeps everything secure, in and out of the water. Been extremely happy with a Yuji'ed Photon Freedom and 519'ed Fenix E16.

I use my 90X for camping. Wish it was "dual fuel" like the 1L-1AA

6 months is hard to pinpoint, so I'd divide it into these 7 Convoys equally. Left to right:
• S21E (MAO) 719A 5000K
• S21E B35AM 3000K
• S3 719A 2700K
• S21A (MAO) 519A 5700K
• S21A 519A 3000K
• S21B 519A 4000K (that coincidentally is today's EDC)
• M21B (MAO) FC40 4000K

One that I thought I was gonna carry a lot more than I actually do is the T3 219B 3000K. It's just way too small for my pockets in my daily wardrobe and I have to rummage to fish it out. Meanwhile all of these 21700 torches fit snugly beside my wallet, as they're about as wide as it is thick, so they stay put and within easy reach. (The S3, being smaller 18650, sits a little looser, but it doesn't sink to the bottom of my pocket like the T3, so I can deal.)

Just for the record, I don't count the various lights and other EDC gear I carried and used for weeks so I could later do reviews on them, on my main YouTube channel.
