I EDC the TNC AA and even carry it in my sweatpants at night. It is the handiest light for getting around the house that I have found.

I can't wait till the new TNC AA 350mA version is available! I think I'll order TWO! :cool:
 
I carry an E1E-HA with the KL1 LED head. I absolutely love it. Before I got that I carried an A2 Aviator. Also a great flashlight, but I like being able to use my E1E as a headlamp by cliping it on my hat or using the headstrap from a princeton tec scout headlamp (I also like not having to worry about the bulb).
 
A Streamlight Strion, and often another light, usually a Photon Freedom. The Strion is a bit big but I love it's intensity and brightness and beam and focus-ability and how it recharges and I don't mind carrying it.

Occasionally I'll trade the Strion for a Nuwai QIII if I'm wearing a suit (rare) and can't handle the bigger light. I must have gotten lucky with my Nuwai which is bright and very very white light.

I find it so handy to EDC a light now and I use it several times every day even during the day.
 
Tomorrow I'm sending off a Money Order to buy a Streamlight Twin Task 1L...And THAT'LL be my new EDC flashlight, as a supplement to my little (blue) Photon II.:).
 
I carry at least four lights when on duty (firefighter): A UK4AA Xenon and UK4AA eLED in my firejacket, either of which will attach to the Gallet firehelmet mount. I keep a Surefire G2 in my helmet bag for when I need a little more throw.
I keep a light in a pouch on my stationwear, rotating between:
Opalec MiniMag
Inova X5T
BB400 Q3L/Kroll MiniMag
Nuwai QIII
Surefire E2E/KL4


Off duty I always have an Arc AAA in my key pouch and will take another light when I go out at night, one of the lights from the rotation above.

You can't have too many lights!!
 
I've EDCed a light of some kind for more than twenty years. It amazes me how often they save the day, given how few people seem to carry one.

My primary EDC is a heavily modified Arc LS. "Milky" over on CPF replaced all the guts and it now puts out roughly the same beam as my Surefire G2 (65 lumens). It also has a two-stage switch that provides a low-beam option equivalent to an Arc AAA. And all of that fits in a 3.2"x0.95" cylinder that weighs 2.2 oz. I use a plastic spring clip to hang it in my back pocket next to my wallet.

As a backup I keep a Photon Freedom (white) on my keychain.

A Photon Micro-Light on my keychain, but I seldom use it. Doesn't take up much space though.
 
Photon Micro Light on my keychain. It goes everywhere I go.

SureFire A2 in a jacket pocket always, or in pants pocket at night. Great to have a larger throw, and it fits into my defense strategies.

I have an Arc AAA that just sits in my dresser. Not that much more light thatn the Photon for the size IMHO.
 
I carry mostly a Surefire E2.., G2 cord wrapped in the glove compartment, and that's about it.
 
I carry a Princton Tec Pulsar on my keychain, a Peak Mckinley Series in my watch pocket, and If I have my Thermite Versipack with me, a Surefire G2.
 
I was thinking about getting a Surefire Defender for work carry since I work in a prison and cant get a knife (legally) into there...

but I recently picked up my first decent flashlight, I got a surefire G2... so another addiction starts now...
