What if you could only have ONE general use flashlight?

I'd keep my Nuwai ALX-352 5W with it's three output levels and nifty holster.

I'd hide my Fire-Fly and my key-chain light (LUX III with a "N" cell)!!!

If I could only keep one it would be my surefire 9p with pilas. But if i purchased some pilas i would buy the P91 lamp assembly for 200 lumens of free light.

Haven't we been here recently?

"Two = One and One = NONE" is a favorite quote around here.

One general purpose light eh? I guess it'd have to be my Lambda pilled Minim*g EDC...

But it could be Streamlight Twin Task 3C...

It could be Elektrolumens XM3 (one of two I own)...

Who am I fooling. I'm keeping them all!!!

I like questions like this one. It makes you think, and the more you think about it, the harder it may be to answer, or at least narrow it down.

For me, it would be my EternaLight Ergo Xray. Bright enough for most situations, dimmable, durable, outstanding battery life, pocketable, and all those features just make it cool.

Only one? Man...

If I could only keep three of the lights I currently own, it would be my LED_ASAP 1W-modded ARC AAA. I could never live without that light unless I maybe got one of andrewwynn's little brass babies. Number two would be my Mag 2C with UX1L and Wiz2 987 that runs on 2 18650s. Number three would be either a Fenix L1P v2.5 or Nuwai Q3 with TWOJ and two stage clickie.

If I had to narrow it down to just one, I think it would have to be the modded ARC.

From the lights I now have, I suppose it would be my UK 4AA eLED. The little Derringer would be a close second.

Well, my just arrived Fenix was used tonight on a medical run. I must say that this has become my favorite. And, after seeing its performance, two firefighters and even the patient inquired about purchasing a Fenix. So, I am very pressed to decide on only one --- my old ARC aaa or the Fenix.

The light I use the most every week is the LionHeart.

Next on my list is the 8NX, but that is being displaced by the HD45.

I can it now... the guy is shot three times and left for dead in an alley way until you show up... He sits up with arms protecting his face saying, 'get that damn thing outta my eyes!'

I am currently carrying Dorcy 1xAAA, L1P and photon II on the key ring as EDCs. I'll keep them all, they are ONE. Plus I'll take ST 4xAA with me too :D
