I carry three - Arc-P (neck lanyard), Photon Freedom Micro (neck lanyard) and a Photon Proton Pro (belt). I am also looking for a fourth to fit in the side pocket of my Leatherman Charge carry case but I need one a little less diamater than a AAA. Any suggestions?

Too many lately. Probably because I just got some new lights to replace my previous edc's, but haven't used them long enough to entirely trust them without having my older edc's as backups. I have been carrying a Titanium IlluminaTi R5 XP-G, a Fenix PD30 R4 XP-G, a Fenix PD10 R5 XP-G Titan, and a Fenix EO1 (on my keychain) in my pocket. I've been carrying a Fenix P3D Q5 and Fenix TK11 R2 on my belt, and a Surefire 6PL in my jacket pocket. The first three and the last one are the new lights. 7 lights in total now. Hopefully, I'll whittle it down to 3 or 4 new ones soon. 5 tops (the Fenix EO1 is probably staying on my keychain). Most people would be amazed at how many lights I can hide in my pockets without them thinking that I even have one.

Generally about 3-4 assuming I don't have an EDC bag with me.
Usually a D10 or similar clipped in my left front pocket, a Quark Ti Mini 123 on either a neck lanyard or looped through a belt loop and in the pocket. Then, a Novatac 120T in my back pocket.

Just my 2 cents.

New lights have arrived recently so they are being rotated in as the other CPFr mentioned above.

Normally just one:
  • EZ CR2w on my keys.
But when I'm travelling or going on a long trip. I take some more with me ;):
  • Nitecore EZ CR2w on my keys
  • Nitecore EX10 or Quark MiNi 123 (both Q3-5A) in my bag or pocket
  • JETBeam Jet-III Pro I.B.S. modded with Q3-5A in my bag
  • and sometimes my 2D P7 Maglite

I EDC a E2DL in a holster on belt and if I have a jacket on I carry a E2L in the inside pocket, if no jacket then I clip a E1B in my pants pocket or sometimes I just deep pocket carry it.

Lately it has been all Surefire but sometimes I rotate to Fenix and holster a PD30 with a PD10 on keychain.

I work 12.5hour nights, so i'll usually carry 3 lights to get thru the shift.


1. one from either the Spy 007, McGizmo PD-S 27 or Peak Brass Rainier flupic P7 (for clean work tasks)

2. and one from either the Peak Pacific, EX10, Ra Twisty or Peak Eiger. (for dirty work tasks)

3. and a matterhorn p4 mule on the rubicon keychain,
or a sapphire p4 mule on the mustang keychain.

Smaller diameter than in a AAA cell??
wouldn't it be easier to get a bigger holster?

1 to 3, depending on circumstances

2aa magled on the belt, if I'm going to work
Mag solitaire if I'm driving my truck (on keychain)
Does a cell phone count, if the backlight is set to stay on when flipped open, and you routinely use it that way for flood/spill in the less than 2 meters range?

Minimum 3 edcs.
For outdoor trips, about 6 (2 "big guns", 2 edcs and 2 backups).

I've always got a small AAA light in one pocket. Presently that's the LF2XT. On the keychain is the old Arc AAA. And, since receiving that Qmini 123 it's been in another pant's pocket.
