Flashlight Enthusiast
Greetings and happy Holidays!!!
So what lights do you keep at work? I keep a 9P, Arc AA, and Pelican Sabrelight. The 9P is outfitted with a holster, SC1 spares carrier w/3 batts and a P90, plus I have a P91 also. I only keep 3 batteries in the spares carrier as I carry extra batteries in my backpack and truck. The Arc has a lithium battery plus a spare in a water tight carrier. These lights are always locked up in my desk and are now an integral part of my work issued disaster survival kit. The kit came with one chemical glow stick, no flashlight. The Pelican (and an LA) was given to me. I leave it on my desk as a loaner light. Plus our store room has extra C cells so I don't mind people using it.
To tell the truth, I have to keep the 9P at work. I purchased it this summer and suprisingly enough my wife didn't give me any s**t about buying another high end light. The same was true for the KL3 module I got for it. I love the KL3. Its not for everyone, it looks rather puny and ringy when shining it on objects closer than 10 feet. But it really projects a respectable beam at medium ranges, 20-150' IMHO. I usually don't carry extra batteries for it because of the fantastic run time, ~7 hours in regulation.
But it really bugged me that I had a bezel and 2 P90s and a P91 lamp lying around. So I got a 6P body and A19 extender for my KL3 and made my 9P whole again. I chose the 6P and extender because I typically carry a E2O and a SC3 spares carrier in my backpack. So If I ever needed to reload the KL3 in the field I could do so with 2 batteries and not have an oddball battery left in the SC3. And if I'm carrying my E1e I can have a full 3 cell reload plus a reload for my E1e. Typical Surefire flexability.
I have to keep the 2 9Ps seperated so my wife only thinks I have one. So the incan stays locked up at work. The KL3 variant is "naked" in a pouch in my backpack. I'm an Incanman at heart but the KL3 is alot easier to feed so it's my go to light.
Thanks for sharing...
