Your EDC light after 1000+ days Picture Thread

[kyhunter1]

Just what the title says. Feel free to post pics of your favorite EDC light you have owned for more than a 1000 days. It also must be the light or lights you have actually carried for the better part of the 1000 days.

Mine is my old standby 80 lumen E1B. It has the ever famous Modoo slim ti tailguard on the switch, and a parachord homemade lanyard with a carabiner for my belt loop. That setup allows it to lay vertical in my pocket without bottoming out. I prefer this over having it clipped to my pocket. At this point, Ive owned it for ~ 1500 days and carried it ~ 1000 of those days. It has never let me down and has developed alot of charactar. It's been dropped many more times than I can remember and had dozens of 123 cells put thru it. It has even been dropped onto the highway and went for a roll. I have lights much brighter and more expensive, but it's my fav. Most of the time it's in my pocket, if not, then one of two E1B/VME/M31N or M31NLL setup's. Let see what you all are carrying and actually using.....

EDIT: 3/19/2013 Here was my first real led EDC, forgot about it til I seen it in my gun cabinet today. Streamlight keychain light I packed for a few years prior to my tenure on cpf. The better part of a 1000 days anyway.

Cool idea for a topic and awesome photos!
I can't add anything, just yet. ;)

Hope to see some more photos of 1000+ days EDC flashlights.

I wish I could post. I changed EDCs so many times trying to find the perfect one. I'm at probably 650 days or so of carry with my Haiku though, which is the longest I've gone.

Im guessing this Olight T10 R5 is close to a thousand. This has been my keychain light every since around when I joined this forum, one of the first lights I got. Ano worn, ends are beat up from keys. But it worked just right, never even felt the need for another newer or different key light.

I use a similar setup with my EDC Fenix PD22. I recommend the Nite Ize S-biner #2 for clipping to your belt loop. These are flatter, come in all black, and are easy to remove with the double ended gates. Couldn't be happier. And to think a year ago I saw these in the store and laughed at how useless they seemed.

Don't recall the exact date, but this should be ~1000 days of EDC, and sharing unprotected real estate with KEYS the entire time. Looks and works like new.

Nice pics guys. That preon almost looks like a shelf queen.

I had the exact same clip you mention, but lost it in my crawl space a while back while doing some plumbing work. Next time I do a lighthound order, one of those will be in it. For a while, I thought I was the only one around here to use that setup.

Also got a Preon ReVO in SS in the preorder and it was on my keychain since then and it looks nearly like new. Dropped it on the ground several times but there are only some dings aorund the bezel and thats all. Nice pretty light ;).

The Quark Mini 123, the keychain hole is weak but 4Sevens replaced the body right a way.

 

[kyhunter1]

Looks like that light has been around the block more than a time or two! Good deal on the new body.

It was on my keyring for about a year, it still works good.

How did I forget my keychain light?! This has been abused on my keys for a couple years now. Looks rough but keeps on ticking.

That's what my Fenix E01 looks like but it's black, been on my keychain since about 2008 and still works fine.

They're tough aren't they?

Fixed broken pic as well. Oops.

Yes they are tough, I have dropped my keys several times and never had a problem with that light besides needing contact points cleaned.

I just noticed the thread title says 1000+ days, I thought it said 100+ days, sorry OP.

Here is a pic of my Fenix E01 that has been carried on my keyring daily since about 2008.

Oops, the phone I'm using made the background pink.

No problem.

Those E01's are tough lights, not pretty but get the job done. I gave mine to my daughter some time back.
