I usually have MagLite Solitaire in pocket or on keys.

MagLite Mini with LED in the car glove box. So it's close and handy!

I have a Fenix E01 on my keys now and I have to say I'm amazed how good it is. I'd no sooner received it and we had a powercut that evening! So I had to try it out of course! It's a great little light  :D

that EO1 is a lot of light for the money. everyone should have this light. i've had mine for several months now and it's still working on the same 1/2 dead alk. battery i stuck in it when i got it. it's running on moon mode now but that is still good enough when you need a light.

Lately I've been carrying the SAR5 from ExtremeBeam that Grant and I picked up at SHOT.  I have to say, the more I carry this thing, the more I like it.  The clip on mine broke, but I've come to appreciate the little sheath they've included with the light.

You can read the review Grant did of the SAR5 by clicking the following link...

I switched back to carrying a 4th generation (latest version) Inova X1 today instead of a Streamlight Stylus Pro.   They both output about the same amount of light, though the X1 throws a little farther and the Stylus Pro has a bit brighter spill.   Backup was an ARC AAA-P.

I relied on the Inova X1 tonight to inspect a used stepladder before purchasing it.  The seller had stored the ladder in a dimly lit garage and I used the X1 to get a better look in detail.

Still have my L0D on my keys and I have my Eagletac P10A in my organiser.  I have to admit this set-up rarely changes.

In pocket: 4Sevens Q-MiNi AA Neutral running on 14500 Li-Ion
In laptop bag: 4Sevens 123 Tactical Neutral running on 18650 Li-Ion (w/spare AA^2 body & Eneloops)

I've been carrying this combo since I got the Q-MiNi, and I love the versatility of it.  Great output and runtime w/the Li-Ions, but the option of running both lights on AA if need be. :multi:

That and possibly its size.  The clip is the only thing keeping me from buying a Ra to replace my Novatac.

My light changes almost daily. However no matter what other light I have on me, I will always have the Streamlight Nano on my keys.

Today however I'm carrying a Fenix L1D.

Nothing has changed for me  ;) The furthest throwing flashlight for it's size IMO 4 inches long 1600 feet (tested) need I say more  ;) BTW for those who dont know it's this  :D

In tests it beat my DBS V3 "and more" hands down :D nothing has come close since  ;) BTW YMMV  ;)

 :rofl: I sound like a rep  :ahhh I'm not BTW  :salute:


[edit]I also carry a ITP A3 EOS for low levels and the little beasts bigger brother for flood and throw combined,amongst others  ;)  :tu:

True I have a light that burns skin  >:D (laser) but seriously DALEKS!!!  :ahhh ok this one  ;) oh you'll see them come may  :tu:


FYI this ones 580 lumen's tested  ;) run time is not much but that's a different story,I only use my lights at most fleetingly and not as candles through the night   :D

Today was the typical:  Photon II on my keychain, Maratac AAA in my coin pocket, and Fenix L2D CE in my bag (though it was my messenger bag today); I decided to remove my Fenix E01 (just no way to carry it well in my messenger, and it now resides in my Mug Boss for now. :)
