How Do You Guys Carry/Stow Away Your Big Multi-LED Flashlights?

I recently bought a flashlight with 12 led's. It's a very thick, but short flashlight with a wide head. It's about the size of almost two soda cans tall. How do you guys carry this flashlight when you go out? Do you have your own custom made box for it or bag? How do you store it and how do you protect and clean the glass to prevent scratches or chips? Plus if you include pictures.

Hi there,i have a couple of soft cases or use the actual flashlight case/holster that comes with the light.

Have a similar holster to the supbeam/acebeam that i bought from HKe to also use for the tk75vn


If camping or trip out,i just tend to take 5 or so lights,put in a sports bag got ease,then in boot.

For storage I use B&W Outdoor cases, or the holster they come in.



When I take them with me, I only grab one or two big lights. Smaller lights fit in my pockets.

I'm assuming it did not come with some kind of holster? I wouldn't carry it in a bag or box of any kind. I would try to find a holster that would protect the head of the light. That way it's easy to carry on your belt if needed, and you can store it with that. If it's not easily accessible it's useless.

Curious, what kind of light is it? How bright, how expensive, etc.

Different colour choices too

REI.com sells an Eagle Creek Pack-It tube cube that holds my NiteCore TM36 (bezel down). I use two micro fiber cloths as padding inside. It is unzipped by the bed and is carried in my forest pack on walks. I use a first aid military cordura pouch for the NiteCore TM26 (bezel down).

No, mine didn't come with any holster. It's a Courui 12 XML-T6 flashlight. It's a bit hefty. I've been cooking for holsters that could fit this flashlight, but haven't had any luck yet. I'm thinking about adding a shoulder strap for it, but there is no where to mount it on the head-end of the flashlight. Any ideas on a decent way to add a shoulder strap to this beast on the front end? The tail cap has some gaps I can fit some straps or lanyard through it, but nothing up top. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/1rgAAOSwQItUBWkN/$_57.JPG

Wow, that's one big light. What kind of output on that thing? Did I read right that it takes 6x18650 batteries?!

Perhaps something like what my Fenix TK60 came with. It had a shoulder strap.

Maybe a supbeam/acebeam x60 sized holster,sometimes HKe have large holsters in stock.

If I am carrying one of my big lights I use a leather hammer loop. It let's the light move freely and doesn't scratch them up.
