The newer Thrunite T10 has become a firm favourite with me lately. This is a light which just seems to do what I need with no fuss. The switch has a nice positive action, and I'm unlikely to turn it on accidentally. It remembers my most used light level, and there's no ancillary modes that I don't need. The mid level is perfect for general use, and the high and low levels are also just right for me whilst getting a decent battery life. The belt clip has great retention without destroying pockets, and even if it did get lost, it's not an expensive light. It's got that Goldilocks "just right" quality.

The nights are getting longer...  It's that time of year when I spend more thought each day considering what flashlight to carry.  This is especially true when Daylight Saving Time ends in November.

How about you?  Do your flashlight habits change during the darker half of the year?

Through the lighter months, I rely on the Nitecore Tube on my keys, and the little Ti Klarus AAA on my neck lanyard. Anything else is a bonus. As the darker times approach, I start carrying a "primary" light more. When I was working, it was a Quark Tactical AA2, but at the moment a Thrunite T10 is proving to be perfectly adequate. I still have the keys and lanyard backups in case of flat battery or loss, but the Thrunite is doing most of the work.

I definitely start carrying a "coat" light as well as whatever is on my keys.  A "coat" light is something that'll fit nicely in a outside pocket, has a tail switch and not be too small to find and orientate easily.  Right now it's the Convoy mini S2 (18350/16340) filling the role, but could easily be a larger 1xAA or a compact 18650.

That's very similar to what I do.  I have a AAA or (usually) AA light in my pocket year round, but select from a wider range of them in the colder months, mostly just because I'm thinking about it more and want variety.  I also carry an 18650 light in my jacket or coat for more lumens and runtime.  My wintertime lights are typically more "tactical" in use because I tend to carry a sidearm more in the winter.

My Thrunite TN12 was mounted on my rifle last night for a bit of after dark target shooting, but has stayed on as my coat light.

Looks like Mk.1 TN-12 with the XM-L?  Nice light.

You've got a good eye mate.

Amici,
Today, I am carrying the Nitecore TIP for pocket carry, and an LED Maglite Solitaire McGizmo clipped to my car keys.

Cheers,
Serge

The first thing I'm going to do is send my MiNi back to 4Sevens for (10 year!) warranty replacement.  I'm sure I will receive a cool white one back, but that's better than nothing at this point.

Just as a follow up...  I received my replacement Mini MA yesterday.  It's a great light, but I don't like it as well as my old XP-G neutral.  It's cool white of course, which I will have to get used to, but should be fine as I mostly use this light indoors.  Also, the efficiency of the cool while XP-G2 is so much greater that the low level is really too bright for the what I used it for on the old light.  That's a shame, because I frequently used it to get up in the middle of the night and navigate around the house.  I might eventually swap out the emitter for something in a neutral tint and lower lux bin to compensate for these issues.

On the positive side, it seems nearly as bright on Eneloops as the old one was on Li-Ion, so I don't have to worry about overheating it.  And, of course, FourSevens deserves mad props for their service and 10-year warranty.  There are many good reasons that I carry FourSevens lights more than any other brand.



I'm carrying Old Reliable today:

Must be nice to only have crime in the colder months.

Yeah.  I need to find a more comfortable carry option for the warmer ones...

Amici,
Today I have for EDC, an Eagtac D25C, as well as a steel NumyTH brand battery locker for a spare Panasonic CR123A battery.

Cheers,

Got this Fenix E15 back in July to replace the E05 on my keychain. Been carrying it ever since.



Sure is nice to have the extra lumens on tap when you need it

[Aloha]

So now with the time change and all I "must" carry several lights 

Around my neck on a ball chain is my 4/7s Preon P0, in my pocket is a SS Fenix E05, and yes theres an and, and on a Victorinox belt clip is my Olight i3S EOS  .  I have promised myself a Zebralight as an early Xmas gift this year.  As you can see I'm not particularly set on one brand.

evening carry

[charlie fox]

At work I carry a Streamlight Protac 2L and a Photon Microlight on my keyring. Off duty I carry either a Nitecore MT1C or a Streamlight 1L/1AA (really digging the "dual fuel" option) and an Inova Microlight in red on my keys. If I'm dressing up, I carry either an Inova 1AA or a Nitecore Thumb.
