The Perfect Lineup

In another thread, a fellow forumite made mention of the perfect lineup. It was a great remark, and worthy of its own thread.

What's your perfect...
1. Keychain light
2. Small EDC
3. Large EDC
4. Thrower

At this point, I can only comment on the LF3XT being a great small EDC.

OK, I'll play

1) Keychain Light: SF Titan
2) Small EDC: SF Titan
3) Large EDC: McGizmo LS20
4) Thrower: I think according to CPF standards, I don't have one :green:

I haven't had enough lights through my hands to say really, but thus far my list would be:

1) E01 (got one)
2) D10 (got one)
3) T10C2 (just ordered one)
4) Deerlight DBS looks ok...

.

1) Keychain _ Draco
2) Small EDC _ D10
3) Large EDC _ 120P w/tube extension
4) Thrower _ I don't need one.

Good to see you picked up an LF3XT, Chewy. Here's my current favorite lineup. I added another category.

1. Keychain Light: Arc AAA (Alternates: Fenix E01, Fenix E0)
2. Small EDC: Fenix L0DQ4 (Alternate: LRI Proton Pro)
3. Large EDC: LiteFlux LF3XT (Alternate: Surefire L1)
4. Thrower: Surefire L1 (My best at this point)
5. Utility: Zebralight H50

Currently:

Key ring - Liteflux LF2
Small EDC - CR2 Ion
Large EDC - Novatac 85P
Thrower/High Output - Dereelight CL1H v3.0 2SM

Pondering a LF3XT for the small EDC - but the Ion is such a nice, and compact package, but the beam is a bit less versatile and primaries only (I like rechargeables). And I'm not sure if the LF3 is enough of a size differential to make it worthwhile.

Key ring: Too many keys already, don't want anything else.
Small EDC: Romisen RC single AA
Large EDC: SF6P w/R2 bulb
Thrower: Home Depot Husky 2D

1. Keychain light - ARC AAA Snow
2. Small EDC - Dereelight C2H 5A
3. Large EDC - Jetbeam Jet III Pro ST
4. Thrower - DBS

I've been tempted to make an Aspheric Mag85. oo:

1. Keychain light = Drake or Draco
2. Small EDC = Mako (day/work) or NiteCore Defender Infinity
3. Large EDC = HDS Ra Clicky 140-Cn
4. Thrower = Tiablo A9


My personal categories are a bit more:

EDC (Work) = Drake + Mako (currently Fenix E01)
EDC (Regular) = Drake + NiteCore Defender Infinity
EDC (Bombproof) = HDS Ra Clicky 140-Cn
General house, Knockaround = Fenix L0D CE Q4 + Streamlight MicroStream clickie, or ZebraLight H30-Q5 Headlamp, or Pak-Lite Super
Bedroom, Tactical = Fenix TK10
Living Room = Milky Candle Rev2
"Nighttime stroll/hike" = HDS Ra Clicky 140-Cn
Camp/Outdoor = Milky P7 Optimator + HDS Ra Clicky 140-Cn + ZebraLight H30-Q5 Headlamp
SAR = Tiablo A9 Q5 + ZebraLight H30-Q5 Headlamp

Modular Mini-BOB Kit = NovaTac 120P
Modular Personal Survival Kit (PSK) = Arc-AAA Premium GS
SAR / Fast Daypack = Tiablo A9 Q5 + ZebraLight H30-Q5 Headlamp + Milky Hoople
Bug Out/Response Bag = Pak-Lite Super Glow, white LED + ZebraLight H50-Q5 Headlamp + Milky P7 Optimator + Glo-Toob Lithium, white LED
Work Emergency Kit = SO-LED Clip Light
Car Emergency Kit = SO-LED Clip Light

I'm in between conf calls right now, so I'll also play along...

based on what I own:
1. Keychain light - Lummi Wee on a chain
2. Small EDC - Hard choice here but, I'll go with my Ti CR2 Ion XP-E
3. Large EDC - NT120P
4. Thrower - Don't really need a thrower & all I have is a modded R2 LP Dmini

I wanna play too

1. Keychain light .... Nitecore D10
2. Small EDC ... Novatac 120P
3. Large EDC ... Surefire 6P + "Super Bright" R2 dropin
4. Thrower ... 1D Aspherical Lens Mag

sounds fun

Keys: LF2X
Small EDC: Spartanian II
Large EDC:Tiablo A9
Thrower: Tiablo A9

what can i say? gotta have throw

Crenshaw

1. CR2 Ion
2. Ra Twisty 85Tr
3. Ra Clicky 140Cn
4. Ra's throw plenty.

Keys: Photon II
Small EDC: Nitecore EX10
Large EDC: McGizmo Ti PD-S
Thrower: Not really throwers, but I guess Surefire Z2 w/M60 or 6P w/M60L

keychain: E01 : I've got "better" lights, but I love how I can scavenge AAA's out of a TV remote if needs be to run it for another 10 hours!

Small EDC: Lummi raw al : I'm a student. Post motorbike my life savings will be about £500. I think it says something in itself that if I lost it tomorrow, I'd buy another one immediately for £50, not too expensive, I could live with it. And if the al's weren't in stock, I'd get a lummi raw ti for £150 immediately, which is about a third of my life savings. Yeah, seriously, it's that good.

Large EDC: Fenix L2D. Another nice common battery eater, very efficient, good build quality, nice and robust, etc. etc. etc.

Thrower: Raidfire Spear (first run)

utility: Zebra H60

Honourable mentions (nearly but not quite ): Nitecore D10, jetbeam pro III ST, fenix L0D/LD01.

Keychain: HA AAA Peak Matterhorn 3 LED lug
Small EDC: Nitecore EX10 GD+
Large EDC: Surefire E2DL
Thrower: Fenix T1 (not a dedicated thrower but good enough for me)

Ah yes, the perfect lineup. Not sure if mine is perfect, but I'm quite happy with it:

1. Keychain light: MJP LE GT Extreme III (customized Liteflux LF2x, 1xAAA)
2. Small EDC: Jetbeam C-LE (version 1, 1xAA)
3. Large EDC: NovaTac 120P (1xRCR123)
4. Thrower: Don Shock modded 3D Mag (3 levels) with aspherical lens which easily converts to a nice around the house utility light by switching the aspherical lens for a reflector and a frosted front window.
