What is your primary defensive light and where do you carry it?

bezel up carry, left front pocket

I carry an SC3 spares carrier in my coat pocket with 4 Sure-Fire CR123's and an MN03 lamp incase the Strion bulb burns out and I need emergency light before I can replace it, or I happen to need light for an extended period that is more than the rechargeable battery can provide.

i have a surefire A2 in a custom john willlis holster, and a benchmade a full sized grip. On my pack i have my nimravus cub on the waist strap, and my 9050 on my shoulder strap. then i have my M3T laced through the molle attatchment on my camelbak mule wich a carry with me almost anywhere, i always take it with me when hiking, riding fourwheelers but i somtimes take the M3T off depending if i am night riding or not, hunting, all the time on the weekend.

well, if I know I have to go somewhere that might turn sour, I bring my D3. it now wears a G&P crenelated bezel from www.lighthound.com. I run a P91 on 2x17500. I have found that the protected tailcap can still deliver a decent shot, if well placed.

Are you able to fire up the P91 with a single click? If so, which batteries do you use? And if possible, what's the production marking on the side of the lamp?

I have to admit my "defensive" needs for a light are a little less extreme than that of a LEO, on average.

But I do live in the Alaskan rainforest, where occasionally you may meet a bear or other night-time animal you might not want to have an encounter with. A flashlight certainly isn't the world's best deterrent, but it can be a good way to say "I am here."

In response to the question, my "bright" light used to be my 3-D Mag. At current it is my milkyspit-modified SureFire L1, and if I need to either really see things or signal someone, a Mini-Mini HID. My L1 is always in the back corner of my right front pocket, bezel-up. When I haul it around, the Mini-Mini HID is either in a knapsack or the pocket of my jacket, where it is somewhat uncomfortable but much easier to get to.

Gladius in right pocket, Cold Steel push knive in left.

My most effective tool is awareness.

Primary defensive light is a MagLite 6D. In practice, it is too heavy to be a weapon, but it has a psychological effect. I have NEVER had to use it as a result.
