What is your current EDC Flashlight... and how do you like to carry? Pics :)

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

I've been carrying a Rayus C01 from Shiningbeam since last December. It hangs from a suspension clip in my left front pocket. It produces a beautiful floody beam for 4+ hours on a single AAA and it turns out that it is quite a battery vampire. It lights up nicely on batteries that don't even get a flicker of light out of my other AAA lights.

I was unhappy with the Thrunite Ti2 because it was too bright for up close use (my main use for small keychain lights), went through batteries too fast, and was a battery crusher (no spring inside, just suspicious foam).

Anyways, I'm super happy with the Rayus C01.

I have the Bronze "Streamlight 73007 Travis Manion Foundation " light. Matches the EDC keychain theme I have going on.

Light is good, but the "bronze" finish wears off very quickly and shows the silver aluminum underneath. Actually looks sorta cool (the patina).
 
Well, for me, out of work I carry a very very very worn Streamlight Protac 2 CR123 with Tenergy rechargeables (P.S. the clip on that light sucks and has since been secured with a metal zip tie), but at work I carry a Streamlight Stinger DS LED HP, Microstream, and a TLR1 in addition to my Protac. I'm kind of a Streamlight fan.
 
Started using my SRT3 again as an edc, still pretty hard to beat at 550lm and firefly mode. Rotating between these three lights now [emoji4]

Fenix ld20 the only thing i dont like about this light is the clip sits to low on the barrel so it sticks out of pocket bit to far

The SF.Titan+ is new, and rides solo in my LP pocket. The other two SFs are on belt and strap. That's all.

It is currently a Malkoff MDC SHO. I carry it clipped to my watch pocket of my Levi's.
 
I carry a Prometheus Beta QR-v2 with the pocket clip. AAA, high CRI, 1lm low, tail-stands, and the clip is excellent.

Here's a comparison shot with my Maratacs:

Eagletac D25a. I personally don't think it's easy to beat this one as a 100% EDC light. It's very slim and small, takes a common battery type, 200 lumens on highest output, and you can get to high, firefly and strobe all from the off position.

It can also take a 14500 battery which increases the outputs with a high near 500 lumens.

It's the one light I never leave home without. I have many others and do carry them from time to time, but the D25a is the most useful in terms of size to performance...

My response is exactly like this one. The D25A (mine with a 14500 li-ion rechargeable) is always in my pocket! Remarkably small, slim (barely larger than the cell that powers it), lightweight; incredible output with 14500, and great interface. I have two of these, one with the warm white emitter and the color quality is wonderful. Fantastic light indeed. I think it is something of a landmark flashlight design, really.

I have a few that I rotate, but my Fenix LD11 tends to be in my pocket more than anything else. I carry it in my front left pants pocket.

Just curious whats the knife in that picture?
 
I need to have a good strong clip on my EDC stuff. Since I couldn't find a good way to carry and E-series I had to make my own solution. It's an Arisaka tailcap with a Oveready pocket clip drilled and tapped onto it.

Lately, I have been carrying a lumintop tool clipped to my pocket, but when I wear a polo shirt- I have been going back to my sunwayman v11r with a 14500 li-ion in its (modified- cut away the Velcro and "D"ring making it slimmer) holster. In my jacket pocket I have a zebralight sc600w. In my backpack I have a zebralight H51fw and spare cells for each light.
