Fenix P2D- in left front pocket
Fenix P3D- in rear pocket beside wallet
Fenix LOD- on key chain
Arc AAA- in small pocket sewn on wallet
SF 12P- in briefcase


Do 5 EDC flashlights qualify me as a Flashaholic?

I do wish that SF would release a Cree L4. Can you say, "slower than Christmas"?

I used to edc my seouled HDS EDC B42XR for really long time, but I have been carrying my P3D Q5 lately, it's less bulky on my waist. I also have 2C ROP-LE Hi and Zebralight Q5 in my bag during the work week.

My Modded E1L rides in my 5th pocket with a lanyard attached to a belt loop. I just bought a Surefire Scoutlight and the Black KL4 head has the nicest, brightest beam!!! I am so happy with this one, that now I find it on me all the time as well! I had a KL4 that I bought that was absolutly terrible! It was nasty horse pee yellow/green and there was a blue tint on one side of the emitter that was just wrong....I'm assuming it was on its way out. I modded that KL4 with 3 seouls and used to EDC that for a while. I like the super flood of the modded head so well that I put that on the Scoutlight body as my room clearing light.....its like flipping a lightswitch! the whole room just lights up!
I also keep the 6P this strike bezel in my backpack, and if I leave anywhere for any extended amount of time, I throw the M3T with the modded KT4 with 3 Seouls and 3 Mcr27s. I like my lights.

Depending on which car I'm driving: Arc AAA P, Fenix E1, Wee 50 lumen. Briefcase has a Fenix P1D CE and a L2.

My McLux III PD-S and Seoulmodded HDS U60 usually split EDC duty. Occasionally carry LF2 or L1T V2. Got a new HDS preordered so this will change.

I usually do not mind carrying a larger light, so.....

The majority of the daylight hours its a Huntlight Cree with a Streamlight Key-Mate as a backup of last resort. Occasionally an A2, U2. or WE 9 series either in place of the Huntlight or in addition to it if I think there might be a need. All ride in belt holsters.

At night I usually switch to the WE 9 series, U2, Kroma, or the A2 if I need a smaller light to hide in a shirt pocket.

Good question.

I have a different keyring for each car because I like to keep the pocket load to a minimum. I can only drive one at a time anyway...;)

I also get to try out different key chain lights that way which is becoming what I really get geeked on as a flashoholic.

OK, I've got to ask. What does which car you're driving have to do with which light(s) you EDC?

Mr. Bulk VIP is still my normal EDC. It's an oldie but goodie.

I have various cheaper LED lights I carry at times when I think the light might get borrowed, lost or stolen (like when I go camping). I also have some larger lights I carry at night. Usually modded Mags.

Aloha, iG (Tim)

recently it's been my silver P1D-CE Q5 which just replaced the MillerMod's Arc AAA xr-e on my keychain.

it feels good going back to a single cr123 pocket rocket!

I rotate between a few trusty EDC (and a few not-so-EDC'able) lights.

Right now - Fenix P2D Rebel-100, which I also carry on trips with 1xAA and 2xAA tubes (when this light becomes the L1D or L2D version respectively) instead of the 1xCR123A.

But often I rotate with the Ti-PD-S (though never if passing through an airport is involved!). And, sometimes I also carry my first Gen SF L1 (in red LED).

But I'll also sometimes carry instead a Lumapower M3 (which I find I keep most in a 2xAA config., so I can use my rechargeables, occasionally as an 1xCR123A), or the Lumapower M1 (XRE CREE - still no upgrade module out from Lumapower).

Finally, I've been eying one of the new Fenix L0D's with upgraded LEDs, there is a Q4 and a Rebel 80 version floating around, but the dealers are playing games (no offering for the Rebel 100 version, so far, which in fact has sold abroad; or, for the Q4 version--again, no Q5 version, which could make sense technically speaking--is only offered in red--so to unload an excess of red-colored inventory).

I think I can outwait the dealers and eventually get the L0D I want - natural (OK, or silver, but this is unlikely), and Rebel 100 or equivalent (or better!). Once I get it, I'll add it on a key chain but still continue carrying one of the others.

I keep a Fenix L1D CE in my work bag, along with spare batteries. When I get to the office, it slips easily into a trouser pocket. As I'm in the UK, the winter mornings are dark and it gets dark very early in the evening, so I also carry a second light in my jacket just in case. This varies between a Fenix L2T V2 or Surefire L4, depending upon which takes my fancy that morning.
