Going to work in the morning with my new Jetbeam IIIM XML.
That looks like a bloody impressive light :)

I like the recessed clicky so you can still tailstand :) Not enough manufactures do that imo.

I've been wanting more output and run-time lately, so I've shelved my SC50w+ (which has been my pocket EDC for over a year now) in favor of my new SC60w.

When the neutral version of the new SC80 comes out, I'm going to get a couple of them, but they're going to be bike lights for me, not for general EDC.

I've been toting my new E05 for the last week now.  Not given it much to do if I'm honest but so far I'm happy with it. :)

I love my E05, I added a clip to it and can clip it to the brim of my hat to use a head lamp when needed or can clip it to my watch band for additional hands free action.

that's a good thought. :tu:  I've just put the clip from my L0D on it and I gotta say it look very cool. 8)

I can't say it enough times, my Photon II has been superb and now that I'm wearing jeans due the cooler weather, I don't have room in my pockets for a bigger light.

I carry my LM Monarch 300 and Maratac AAA everywhere now.  I am beginning a small collection though, as I keep picking up new lights here and there and the wife steals them!

The LD01 has become the light that is in my pocket (attached to the key ring) every day, no matter what may rotate through the bag.

The Photon II is a darn good 'button' light though.

Yes I like my LD01R5.  I have it on my work keychain and that stainless holds up quite
well, almost looks like the day it was bought. :tu:

Trustfire F-23.  Heavy little bugger but H-L-S is a super simple UI and the quality is excellent.

By defining "today" as the last 24 hours, then today I have carried my Zebralight SC50w+ and SC60w, my Jetbeam Jet III Pro ST, my Q-mini AA, Preon 2, and Xeno E03.   :D

for the last couple of weeks I've just had a cheapo DX light in my pocket. Had to break out the big guns today though and raid the EDC bag for the Lumapower D Mini VX with the extender tube for the 18650 battery. Daylight, but we were trying to survey the collector mounting on a 10 tonne overhead travelling crane from ground level about 40 ft up in an old factory. The electrician I was with shone his 1W led and noticed virtually differecne, so I fired up the Mini VX and BAM - clear as anything. The sparky's jaw dropped and he said "Where the SMURF did you get THAT??"

Cool when you get to do that, isn't it? 8)

today I've been carrying my somewhat more modest E05 and Jetbeam Jet-1 PRO. :tu:

Been carrying my Monarch 400.  Blows away everyone at work.  They have obviously never been into flashlights.

Big ol' Surefire 6PX pro, keep thinking about selling it for a smaller light, but always back down at last minute.

That and a 47 preon revo my keys, but it's there for back up and rarely gets used.

Lately I've just been carrying a 2AA maglite with the niteize LED conversion. It actually makes for a nice light.

The nights have drawn in and its time to be carrying something a little chunkier than my A3 when out and about.



Thanks again millhouse, its a great light  :cheers:

I was carrying my iTP A2 and SA2 Eluma today.  I'm a little sad that the iTP Eluma range seems to have been dropped in the merging of the two brands, great bang for your buck lights IMO.

I carried my new LED Lenser L6.  I know that LL lights don't get much respect from flashaholics, but I am impressed with this light.  I carry it while walking my dog in the early mornings and in the evenings.  Its plenty bright, comfortable to carry and the focusing beam is a real asset.
