Dark winter mornings, I never leave home without my EO1 on my keys and my Nitecore NDI. I've had the NDI for years, a great light  :)

Been carrying this tiny CR2 powered 47s in my 5th pocket for the last week or so. Works great. Don't even feel I have it on me and it provides LOTS of light if needed. :tu:

Been trying to lighten the load for weekends (pun sort of intended) so I left behind my fenix e11 and replaced it with an e05 while out during the day. Its ok. Miss having a monetary on switch though..

Carried my Preon Penlight today. I like it but still prefer my old Preon 2.

It's a rare occasion these days that I don't carry my neutral white Q-MiNi AA powered by AW 14500.  On rare occasions I will carry an HDS EDC, but the Q-MiNi is my go-to light.  It is so easy to carry, durable and has a great range of outputs to fit most of my needs.

Tabasco, did you make that Kydex sheath for your Spirt, or purchase it somewhere?  It looks like an excellent, low-profile setup!

NutSAK, good to see you around!

I really like the sheath, it is designed to fit super snug and comfortable to wear for extended periods. During this last freeze I stayed awake for 31 hours straight to prepare and protect crops. I finished the work, threw a tarp on the shop sofa and slept for about 9 hours with the Spirit and sheath on. Never gave it a thought. :D

The sheath was custom made by Deric Desmond. He has made several neck sheaths for me, as well.

Yeah, you right...

Thanks!  :tu:  It looks very comfortable.  I couldn't imagine sleeping with a Spirit pouch on!

My trinity of lights for the last little while has bee these three;

Trustfire Z2 being used as a head torch.  The head band is home grown, but does an excellent job of keeping things in place.





ThruNite TN12.  Small enough that it sits comfortably in the side pocket of my work trousers, it's a very compact way of getting a lot of light in a room.  Just yesterday I needed to kill all the lights in a (windowless) room to work on the suspended ceiling.  Not a problem though, just put this on high, stood it on it's tail and the room was more than bright enough to work in. 8)



Last, but by no means least, is my Eagletac D25A clicky with neutral emitter.  This is the light that has pretty much gone everywhere with me for the last 12 months.  Lives on my house keys most of the time, only being removed to be put in the pocket of my work trousers for 8 hours a day.  Compact, lovely colour beam, bright (or not), clicky, 1xAA...the list goes on as to why I love this light. :dd:

Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

This little line up hasn't changed recently.  The TN12 and the Z2 live in my bag for special occasions, while the D25A Clicky basically never leaves my side. :dd:

A Streamlight Stylus Pro , an ARCP-AAA ( in a slot in my notebook ) , and a Surefire E1B Backup ( with a Z68 tailcap , so it will tailstand ) .

The EDC bag has a Maglite AA, LED . , My outside jacket pocket has a McGizmo McLux III PD clipped to it .

That's a fairly average loadout for me .

I like the lego-ability of the Quark Tactical series.  This pic prompted me to get mine out and play with all the options.  I have 1xCR123, 1XAA, 2xAA and 18650 bodies for mine.  The end caps are great for carrying a backup cell and body like you do.

Today I tried the inova X1. Not bad. Don't think I like the rear cap... but I can tolerate it a little. Much rather carry my fenix e11 though. Its a little harder to press the rear button since it isn't knurled like the fenix either.

There sure seem to be a lot of folks that are very pleased with the D25A.  I've resisted the temptation to buy one for quite a while, but I might not be able to hold out much longer.  The Ti ones are especially  :drool:
