Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been collecting flashlights about a year. Yes, I have the bug!

I was wondering what method many of you normally use to carry your EDC flashlights. Would you mind sharing? I was thinking the following may be different methods of carry.

1. Pocket
2. Holster
3. Belt (clipped directly to it)
4. Lanyard
5. Keychain
6. Bag
7. Car bin (glovebox, door well, etc)

I wear one around my neck almost 24/7, a Hi CRI Ti Aeon, and on my belt, in a Thor holster with a CR123 pocket is a Neutral Nichia HDS.

My main is a Fenix e01 on my key chain. It's come in handy many times :). I use to carry a Fenix LD10 or a FourSevens Quark 123x2 but they didnt get used enough and I dont like cluttered pockets. Now I keep a FourSevens MiNi AAx2 in my backpack. The backpack goes with me most places so if I have a need for more then the e01 I'll be good to go :)

I've almost always got a light clipped in the left, front pants pocket if I'm out of bed. People laugh at me for this, but whenever a light is needed they always call me. Got a headlamp and another two lights in my EDC bag which is nearly always with me if I'm out anywhere. Spare lithium cells for everything.

There's an EO1 on the keys for those rare moments I duck off somewhere without another light. But that's usually only when going to the local store to get milk or bread or chocolate.

Ti gate snap clip on belt loop, Spectra lanyard with eye splices, small ti clip on the end and Tain Ottavino AAA twisty in my pocket. Small and nice enough for the office, so I carry this everyday.

Clipped inside my left front pocket. I also have a light clipped inside a bag that I carry nearly everywhere (tactical manpurse) ;)

I also carry an SS Peak Eiger on a paracord-covered ball chain around my neck in the winter.

I have tried every carry method you can imagine. all have a plus and minus.

I always come back to a Titanium pocket dangler left front pocket for an Eiger . Have even stopped carrying a 2nd light likea Fenix E01 on keys. Just keep lights around car house etc.

I use a dangler with an Eiger or a Quark MiNi AA frequently also, especially when in "dress" attire. It's very functional and discreet.

I've always been a pocket carry type. Mostly all of the pants I wear have side pockets, and when I know my armytek barracuda might come into use, I'll wear something with a hammer loop. I've just never been a holster/clip guy.

Main light is always clip-carried in my left pants pocket.

Always have some sort of light on my main keyring. (Currently a Photon Freedom.)

Other lights.... Variety of ways. Though usually just tossed into a jacket pocket.
