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

[PB Wilson]

Four Sevens mini123, carried in the left front pocket.

I used to carry a Mini MA but got tired of twisting. Great little and lightweight light though.

I now carry an UltraTac K18 in stainless steel. It's wonderfully bright if you use 10440 cells and can use run of the mill AAA if necessary. I really love the side clicky button and I find it much more handy.

My current EDC light is a Streamlight Microstream with Eneloops. I am looking to change though because I have had issues with flickering and outright inoperability of the Microstream.

Right side belt holster very simple Fenix PD 22 ue and pocket a Sog Flash2. Not too expensive just enough.

What battery are you using in the PD22UE? What kind of battery life do you have?

Current carry is a Malkoff MD2 clipped in right rear pocket, Fenix PD35 clipped in left front pocket, Fenix LD12 in right front pocket, and a MicroStream in somewhere in left front pocket.

Just switched to an Astrolux S41 (also sold as Manker E14) with quad Nichia 219BT-V1 and powered by a 18350.
It's insanely bright on turbo (for it's size) and, since I mostly use the lower modes, runtime is also decent. The pure white light (5000K) with high CRI (>90) makes it very versatile.

I carry a olight s1 ti with me everyday. Freaking awesome light!

My current EDC setup, all AAA lights with NiMH batteries: a Maratac stainless, an Olight i3e EOS copper showing a little patina, and a CPF 15 year anniversary light, titanium with a mule head. Batteries are Eneloop 3rd gen and XX Pro AAA's. Before this I was using all lithium ion powered lights but decided to try a change.

Can't post pics, but I've been carrying the same Surefire E2E for close to 10 years. Worked great for what I did, but it's probably about time to upgrade since seeing all these new lights is giving me a case of "shiny it is".

Nice Coppers!

Sold my Beta due to PWM interfering with photos, but I really liked the N219 led
replaced it with an N219 Lumintop Worm, but did not want the extra weight and lack of reversible pocket clip
The 219 spoiled me, so I dont like my stock maratac anymore

solution, Maratac body, with reversible clip so I can use it on my cap, and the Worm head, so I can have High CRI with no PWM

This is in my pocket today

the beta and worm heads also fit my Thrunite Titanium Xmas (and the combo has smooth action, instead of the terrible gritty titanium on titanium)

I sometimes carry this lego on my keys (old pic, the Beta head has been replaced by a Worm head now)

sometimes I carry a Maratac lego with a High CRI Tool head (below left)
my most carried is a Maratac, modified to a high CRI Warm XPG, on the right

I carry in the bottom of my cargo pant side pocket

Nice Coppers!…

…my most carried is a Maratac, modified to a high CRI Warm XPG…

Thank you. I've seen you talk about that in a couple places. So how does a guy go about swapping the emitter/driver in the Maratac AAA?

I like to swap about and change my edc (like a bit of variety). However out of the smaller edc lights, I am content with the Cooyoo , regardless of where I am away from the house, it's always with me. I have found even AAA lights a bit too big for my keys, 10180 is my answer to keeping it smaller(he says with loads of keys!.....every little helps!)


At the park with no dark!

Thank you. I've seen you talk about that in a couple places. So how does a guy go about swapping the emitter/driver in the Maratac AAA?

I mailed the Maratac to gunga and he put in the 3000k XPG with a Rey Light driver (LMH modes) 🙂

another option is to buy a Copper Tool w Nichia, and put the head on the Copper Maratac
the Maratac head also works on the Tool

like the stock Maratac, stock Tools use MLH sequence
the ReyLight Tool with Nichia is LMH, and the Low on ReyLight is <1 lumen, whereas on stock Tool w Nichia it is 3 lumen (and on Maratac the low is 1.5 lum)

Im considering sending gunga my stock Maratac to swap in another 3000k XPG, but keeping the Maratac driver. I actually like Medium first as it is my most used mode.

I seldom use high on my lights, and for my low light situations I really prefer the Warm 3000k to the 4000k Nichia. Im totally spoiled by High CRI and now disdain my stock cool white XP-G2 lights such as the stock Maratac. But I love the Maratac Copper body.

left to right below:
Cool white stock Maratac, Neutral white Worm w Nichia (same as Tool w Nichia), Warm white modified Maratac

on my keys today, very lightweight Olight i3s, led swapped by gunga to warm white

I really like the Olight threads, super smooth, and I like that it starts on 20 lumen Medium, and I especially like the 0.5 lumen low

For quite some time now, these two are always with me.

I EDC a Fenix E11, which very conveniently fits in the elastic loop on the side of my nylon Leatherman pouch (carrying my Wave). I also keep a firestarter, covered with a wrap of duct tape, on the elastic loop on the other side of the pouch. This pouch always rides on my belt on my left side. Having a nice multitool and flashlight close by is extremely useful!

I'm now EDCing a Zebralight SC600w XHP35 Hi. When not at work, I just use the clip to slip it into my pocket. I'm a big guy, and I don't wear my girlfriend's jeans. They're comfortably loose, but not sagging with my britches showing, so carrying a small 18650 light is no problem.

When at work I find myself doing varied physical tasks, and don't like anything in my pockets that can poke or pinch. While my SOG multitool, I don't recall which model, resides in one of my bags, I had a left over sheath until now. I'm using it to carry my ZL on my belt, and it fits rather well.

At the moment forced to carry three lights during the week thanks to work "conditions" lol. By this I mean out of the other two guys that work with me they always ask " hey do you have a light ?" Primary is a Fenix pd35 2014 edition, with rechargeable keeppower 18650 batteries 3400 mAh. Carry that in my side pocket of carpenters pants.Secondary would be an hds clicky 175 lumen light. Takes one cr123 primary, and usually on my left pocket clipped.And when all else fails , my trusty malkoff mdc 1 x aa with a eneloop rechargeable. Carried in my right side front pocket.The malkoff mdc however never leaves my side while changing load outs. Love the fact that it uses the most common battery possible.😆 Kinda have full pockets huh?
