What LED flashlight is sitting on your nightstand?

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

An Olight s15-ti, Nitecore srt3 and a 5 dollar 1AAA Dorcy. Until recently the Dorcy was my most used lite, great for checking the time, going to the bathroom, etc. A lot of use for 5 dollars!
 
On my nightstand is an old Surefire 6P with a Cree LED drop-in and an even older Streamlight 4-AA plastic light... the Surefire is the "bump in the night" light and the old Streamlight is for general "I need a flashlight" use.

Take it easy,

I have two. My primary go to nightstand light is a Surefire G2 w/Malkoff M61LL. I’d grab it for anything serious. Its ultra-reliable and plenty of light to check around my place at night.

I also have a streamlight micro AAA for those times I just need a little bit of light (don’t want to hurt my dark-adjusted eyes). I can palm the micro and allow just enough light for the moment.
 
TK-75. Great for seeing stuff from my deck out large distances in the back yard and surrounding area
 
I have a cheapie tiny Cree 3W on my nightstand. It's a budget 1xAA size zoomie light half the size of a Sipik 68.

Like most of my recent lights, I modded it. It's currently sporting:
1. Rubber grip
2. Copper heatsink below the star
3. 16mm direct copper Noctigon star with Nichia 219B high-CRI
4. 15mm 3.0 amp 3-mode driver from Mountain Electronics
5. runs on 1x IMR 14500.
6. Tailcap clicky switch replaced with an on-off style electronic switch.

It's a decent light that puts out a nice high-CRI beam in a small package. But it's not a barn-burning and won't wow anyone with its output.
 
HDS 325 and 140 nichia. Both executive. And that little old Spy XPG2. Oh, they move off the nightstand regularly!

Most recently, a Nitecore TM26, OLight S10R, or my latest acquisition, an Olight S30R. The selection evolves depending on which one I remove from my pocket at night. I like the challenge of trying to remember where the buttons are in the dark!
 
As of recently, my Olight S10R. As it's my main EDC it makes sense to bring it to the nightstand when I go to bed. The half lumen mode is also excellent for bathroom visits!
 
Mag Tac in the drawer with the glock and a mag xl 200 on th stand. I like the candle light mode on it
 
A PKFl2LE, the low level is great for those middle of the night excursions. :twothumbs
 
The only LED light i got on my nightstand currently is the LEDLenser T7, but i also recently included a 2nd gen 2D Mag since i lost a few of my older lights. The T7 is also my secondary EDC. The rest are incandescent lights, they are less bright than the lowest lumen LED i have which is the E25 at 8 lumens. When your eyes are adjusting to the dark 8 lumens can be pretty bright. I got a couple of incandescent lights that are on the lower 1 or 2 lumen level which is really all i need at night unless i am trying to look for something, that's what i got the T7 and 2D Mag for.
 
I keep HybridLight Solars on several windowsills around the house. A very under appreciated brand.
 
A Nitecore P12 hanging by the bed post and a Nitecore TM15 on the side table.
