Like the title says, how hard are you on your lights?
I just got off the phone with Milkyspit, who I must say is quite the gentleman, and one of the topics of conversation is lights that actually get used. We're all guilty of shelfing things deemed far too nice to risk damage, but the ones we do "sacrifice" with the mentality that it's a tool to be used for it's intended purpose, that's what I'm curious about.
I submit my most and least used lights. Twins. Both are an E2D bezel ring and body, a black KL4 head and Z68 tailswitch from the M600 Scout light, and the longer E2L Outdoorsman clip. The shelf-queen version was built about a month after the original when I realized that I had found my ideal EDC carry light (before I came to appreciate my new ML1, WOW) and wanted a spare to step in if mine was ever lost, stolen, destroyed, or otherwise compromised. I've used mine for many different uses above and beyond it's light-producing qualities. Opened bottles, pried out nails (before I became familiar with what Mr. Atwood creates), at one point I even used it in tandem with my wallet to improvise a door-stop.
So lets see and hear what you do to and with your most valued lights, and lets thank those that have created/crafted/engineered the lights we all call our EDC. My thanks go out to Scott, who managed to replace this war-torn light on the right with his beloved ML1.

) and it's pretty much my EDC now, but I was thinking about getting another to stick on the shelf as well!
