Greetings!
My EDC light situation seems slightly out of control to me lately. Here are the details.
I carry 2 lights on my keychain, a White Inova X1 (new reflector version) and a CMG Infinity Ultra (Red LED version). For several months, until a little over two weeks ago, I carried a Surefire Kroma in my left pocket for times when I needed more light, or if one of my keychain lights failed.
Recently, since I replaced my Surefire A2 that I sold early last year, things have been a bit different. I've been EDC'ing a PAIR of A2's in my left pocket instead of the Kroma, one Red A2 and one White A2. I keep them separated by a small nylon pouch with a multitool, so they don't scratch each other's finish.
I keep saying to myself that four EDC lights is just too many... and that maybe I could get by with just two. I read comments on CPF where forum members are carrying a single AAA light, and wonder why I can't be more like that... but I always think it kind of half-heartedly. The truth of the matter is that I actually ENJOY having the Surefires and keychain lights with me all the time - I know that I will never be without light, in any situation, regardless of battery drain or other unforseen circumstances.
Does anyone else here think that maybe I've gone off the "flashaholic" deep-end in this respect? Does anyone else here EDC so many lights or think that this is by any stretch of the imagination acceptable or sane?
Best wishes,
Bawko
