Two get a regular workout with the great MARATAC AA Flashlight from Country Comm being the most often used. I am always amazed that such a tiny inexpensive light can provide so much light! For outdoor use I usually grab my Wolf Eyes "Sniper" 2x123 LED.

A Fenix LD01 is my on body EDC so that gets the most regular use.

I'm not sure if you'd consider it a flashlight, but the most used light for me is my Princeton Tech EOS headlamp. I used it both on-head and in-hand. A fantastic piece of gear, especially for the price.

Keep in mind that I don't need a spotlight that will light up the other side of a football field. I usually need for of a tight floodlight to light up my work area.

I too use the MARATAC AA Flashlight from Country Comm as my main light with the MARATAC AAA as a secondary light.

Quark 123 is my EDC. If I know I'm going to need a flashlight, I'll usually supplement that with a Quark 123^2. Sometimes I'll scale down to a ReVO.

For me would that be a Fenix L0D (edc with a lri photon freedom as backup) followed by a Fenix L2D and a Nitecore D10. For Handsfree A Petzl Tikka XP. The other flashlights do not see that much use.

Minimag with LED drop is in my EDC. Its red with a yard of yellow duct tape around it.

But I prefer hands free so I like headlamps for things I can plan. I use Tikkas and e+lite.

I always carry my Surfire E2D and on my hip is a surefire 6P and a Gerber LED flash light.

Yes I know I carry too many flashlights.

The light I get the most use out of is my Petzl TacTikka plus, for both camping and flying.

Thanks to Izzy, I have the MATATAC AAA in my pocket at all times, except when it goes through the washer & drier. Still works great though!! I'm constantly using it at work, at home, out adventuring...and I find when I pull it out to check the barrel of a used gun the seller immedietely drops the price. laugh

Description from their website:
LED Type: Cree 7090-XP-E Q5 with a life span up to 50,000 hours. The reflector is aluminum alloy. Flashlight body is made of aircraft grade aluminum covered with Type III Military grade anodization. The lens has been treated with a AR (Anti-Reflective) coating. Its proprietary circuit design features reverse polarity protection and runs off of one AAA battery that provides 3 levels of brightness (Medium/Low/High).

Using A Single Duracell AAA battery we got the following results:
Medium Mode, 18lm Output for 4 Hours
Low Mode, 1.5lm Output for 50 Hours
High Mode, 80lm Output for 48 Minutes
