What is your least used LED light and why? In my case its the plain awful Inova T4R. Its built like a tank yet throws a meager dim pencil sized beam which is unfortunate especially because it cost so much.

Maybe your light is not working properly. I have a Inova T4 with 200 lumens that I bought more than 7 years ago and the beam is strong enough to light up an appartment block more than 50 meters away!

Exept the older outdated ones it´s my Fenix PD35, to big and nothing special. Use my Zebralight SC62w and Sunwayman V11R most of the time.

Led Lenser P7 is my least used nowadays. It was a good light when it came out and is a solid bit of kit, but I'm really not a fan of the zoom, lack of modes, UI, or the unregulated output...

I don't even know where to begin. They all sit on a shelf and collect dust. I EDC a PD22, the rest just get played with occasionally. Kind of hard to justify buying new lights when I already have a bunch of shelf queens. I find a way though.

Good question. Probably Stainless Steel Peak Logan 17500 mule. It's fantastic light, but it doesn't get carried/used nearly as much as the others :shrug:

Lenslight mini high-CRI XPG:
* Doesn't tailstand
* protruding forward clicky with tailcap lockout makes it impractical for pocket.
* large considering its low output
* cycling the zoom mechanism gets lubricant on your hand
* worst clip I've ever seen. It's made of delrin plastic, is extremely bulky, has sharp edges and doesn't actually fit on a belt. Doesn't feel that durable either.

My two Liteflux LF2XTs (in both natural and black)
* too valuable to EDC

I also have dozens of other lights that don't get carried or used at all. Mostly because they are budget lights I bought to serve as mod hosts, or because they are broken, or simply outclassed by more modern lights.

I got rid of them all. The only current one that I have is the Surefire Fury Combatlight. Nice light if I don't need multiple output and if I am using it with a firearm but unfortunately I don't possess a gun and I happen to need multiple outputs, or at the very least a lower output in all my lights.

My HDS Rotary… I love the light and I think it is the most functional of all the lights I own - but the lack of a pocket clip keeps me from carrying it as much as I carry my others.

Some generic lights that aren't even branded. Most of them stopped working and I use them for parts

I just remembered I have a Mag XL50 sitting at the bottom of my toolbox. I don't even consider it part of my collection. Thing is a battery parasite.

I carry it everywhere, but use it the least, the 375nm nichia Arc AAA UV. I got it for sterilization not forensics, but its far better at forensics, and I just pretend that I am killing microbes with it until I can have a much more powerful, custom (very $$$) 254nm (255) light built for me, and then that will be my least used light. But generally, I use all my lights all the time... carried on a spider keychain... effectively, I'm walking around with a chandolier. If the kids are reading this, please stop calling me "Gandalf." Nothing is wrong with me. Look at those idiots that still think digital watches are neat. What rubes.

I have so many lights, this is a hard question to answer! None are used religiously. if I only count my more expensive lights, it would be my Zebralight SC52 and Fenix TK70. Both are nice, well made lights. The TK70 I really have no practical use for, but I had to have it anyway! :devil: The SC52 I find awkward to use. :shakehead
