I usually have a Streamlight Nano on my keychain, and a Quark Mini 123 in my pocket (Minimum). When I know I'll be out after dark I generally carry a modified E2D flashlight.

The Surefire isn't cheap, and when the Quark Mini blew it away I wasn't a happy camper. I ended up buying a Veleno Designs LED that gives ~250 OTF lumens for 2 hours.

So... It does kinda suck that it takes a $50 upgrade to a $90 flashlight to best a $30 flashlight, but the surefires are well built and I like it, even though I probably wouldn't spend that kind of money again.

Flashlights have come a LONG way... I think my next purchase will be a 6P sized host, there are a lot of nice drop ins available like Malkoffs.

I carry the Fenix LD10 in a satchel, and the Fenix E01 in a neck bag.

My Surefire E1B is easily the best light I've ever seen. It cost me $139 but came with 18 free batteries. Yeah, that's a lot of money for a flashlight but I'd buy one again in a heartbeat. Well worth the money!

I picked up a Mini-Mag AA L.E.D. at a yardsale for only $4.50, it is bright and, I know< maglights are heavy for the size, but I love it! is there anyone else that uses this light?

I believe one still lives somewhere in my wife's purse. I formerly used one, and we still have various versions around that have been retrofitted with LEDs, but they are no longer my "go to" light.

I love my LED Lenser H7R headlamp. It has a focusable beam and continuously variable brightness, and I don't feel guilty using it all the time and going through batteries because it is rechargeable.
