What light is in your Car?

[TooSharp]

I'm on the hunt for a new car light. Just wanted to see what everyone else had in there vehicles. I've recently sold all of my CR123 lights and am looking for something in AA.

Myself I always carry one of my Mags with me(different one each day lol). Also keep a mini-mag & a "few" cheapies.

Still deciding, but it'll be one of the following:

2AA MagLED with SSC P4 (if I don't blow it up modding it)
2AA Minimag with Nite ize 1 watt LED and an IQ switch
2AA Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 1 watt

I had a Novatac 85T mounted on Quickfist mini mounts for awhile, but just sold it. I thought I would put my new EX10 in its place, but it is too small to fit into the Quickfist mounts, so I am now justified in looking for a slightly fatter light to buy!

Ever since someone broke into my car and stole my LionHeart & Surefire U2, I only keep a G2 with a cheap LED drop-in. No point in putting an expensive light in the car if it's only going to be used as a last resort. I always have other lights on me, too.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but the light I keep in my car's glove box is a 2xAA River Rock (the one with a 5mm LED and an aspheric lens). The beam is a sharply defined hot spot with no spill :duh2:. I think it may be time to upgrade.

My car's been stolen once and broken into twice in the last 3 years, so I won't leave any really valuable things in it. The light is a Streamlight ProPoly 4AA with a SSC-P4 mod. But what's not to like....inexpensive, common AA cells, durable plastic, water resistant, approvals, simple rear clicky, and with the mod, very bright.

Oooo, ProPoly with SSC... I keep ProPoly's in my cars. Would love them to have more updated emitters.

I carry a 5 C Cell mag in each vehicle, makes a good light and baton, and an Inova X0 or X03 (Tiros versions) also.

Fenix L1T V2 with diffuser and spare lithium batteries.

G2 with a Malkoff drop-in. Also have a JetBeam MkII for lower light applications.

Marduke,
Thanks for digging up the links. Lot's of good suggestions there. I think I'll stick a L2D in my car, now I have to figure one out for the wife's van.

As you can see, I see the car as a place for real, full-size torches.

Miniature 1AA and CR123 torches we carry in our pockets are an entirely different world.
