how do you carry your ls? why ?

the title says it all. do ya hide it on a keyring or what?

Mine lives in my daily carry pouch, alongside an Inova 5X, a wallet, and a sh*tload of loose change. The pouch is nothingmore than an old meter case, and when stood up, fits snuggly between the seat and front deck of my wheelchair.

In my dreams...

I keep it in a little cloth pouch from a sporting goods store(used to hold keys,etc). My fear is the lens will get scratched otherwise.

Dooooh! You beat me to it! That's the same place I carry mine. In a custom ballistic nylon sheath with reflective piping. It is right next to my SF BEAST on my belt.

I carry mine in my work bag in the 2AA configuration...in its own "pocket." I also use it as a bike light sometimes....I just got some Lithium CR123's, so I might put it on my keychain?!?

Mine lives in my back left pocket, attached to a side belt-loop by a slightly extended (and simple enough to remove) Infinity lanard. Why? So I can`t lose it or forget to take it with me. All my "edc" stuff is tethered to my belt somehow (SFs and Gerber-500 in holsters + the ALS of course) Sure, it digs in if I sit down too fast on a hard surface, but that`s just to remind me it`s still there I expect
I wouldn`t subject the poor thing to the Keychain of Doom, though it would be an interesting experiment once I`ve got my hands on the "first" edition, later this year hopefully.

i just got mine and it is absolutely fantastic.

Gransee you are my hero!

thank you

i will carry it on me all the time and probably in a mini mag pouch.!

The mini mag pouch is a great idea, but not if you aren't a regular belt user.
Clip-on holsters like those for LEDTronics products do a better job here, as they can be affixed to parts of a wheelchair without using that "fuggly" grey duct tape, and they clip onto clothing pockets as well. No belt required.

In my case, I just dump everything into a semi-rigid container that fits snuggly under my wheelchair seat, and away I go. The only exception is my E2, it clips to the side of my homebrew cellular telephone carrier and stays put until it's needed.

In uniform: 2AA version, in a home made black nylon pouch. Lith AA in it.
Jeans or a suit: 123 version, in the front left pocket.
I am looking for a lanyard. I would like to find a thin bungy cord type. It would be nice to find one that did not hang down to far in the relaxed mode.

Darell,
how do you carry your Beast? I carry mine in a modified wild west gun belt, with lotsa spare 123's in the bullet holders.. and The Beast you-know-where for a quick draw.

I don't have one of these yet but i should on monday thanks to Peter Gransee.You see i ordered one on wednesday and got confirmation right away but when i looked on the order status page it said it was on hold.I had talked to Peter on the phone the night before i ordered and he said he still had a couple in stock, so imagine my dissapointment when he sent me an e-mail telling me they had sold the last one just minutes before i ordered so i was pretty bummed and dragged my broken heart around all afternoon, then i thought i would go check
my e-mail just to see if i got anything,
and right before my beady little eyes appeared the message, "the following items
have been shipped" !!!! yay!
I almost collapesed from shock, Peter had somehow gotten me an arc ls second and shipped it! I am overjoyed with the service i
got from Peter and his wonderfull staff.Thank you Peter!

I will carry it were I usually carry my E2. In my back pocket next to my wallet, it just fits.

For those that have a Surefire lanyard & tailcap ring from a 2 or 3 cell surefire, the lanyard ring fits perfectly between the bezel and 123 battery compartment. Very handy. I'm amazed it fits.

This is the new home for my ARC LS. I keep a beamshaper on it to protect the optic from getting scratched.

YC<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>YC, Most everyone here knows Darell. He's...you know...Darell. But you must have just gone "to far down-under". TX

Sean what is the blade on your keyring?

Hey Sean-can that lens be taken out of that beamshaper replaced with a clear window?That thing makes the LS look cool.I want one.

Yes, it can be replaced with a clear lens, but I have yet to find one. Anyone know were to get one. It is nice, fits tight and gives you the hex-head anti roll profile. But I don't know were to get a clear lens for it. Anyway, the beamshaper lens does diffuse the beam very nicely, giving you a more "nichia" type LED effect for those who don't like the narrow beam angle of the LS. And maybe more importantly, I clears up most of the "tint" issues, producting a very white looking light, much nicer than my E1 w/beamshaper (too yellow!).

Lonewolf,
It's a CRKT PECK, they also make a larger version called a KISS. It's very streamline and pocketable. I just started wearing it again since I added the LS to my keys. It also has a pocket clip on the other side.

KT posted something about using a mineral watch crystal as a lens (can't remember where exactly, search on Triad or ASP?), maybe try something like that
