I know most people on these forums EDC a flashlight of some kind, so which is it? I currently EDC a Maglight Solitaire, and its a great little flashlight.
 
The HDS EDC Ultimate 60. Truly a great light. Adjustable to four custom levels, great beam, bright, runs on one battery (rechargables work fine), very small, and hard anodized with amazing make quality. Not cheap but worth it.

Sometimes I also carry a SureFire U2 or a SureFire C3 running on rechargables.
 
I EDC an ASP Elite and an Arc Premium. I also usually have an E1e, or G2 on me. But the ASP and Arc are always on my keys.
 
Two mini-mags. I keep one in my "multi-tool drawer" and the other stays in my briefcase. I put a large clip on both of them so I can hook them to a belt loop.:)
 
I carry a Surefire C3 Centurion. But, it's a tad bigger than I'd like for EDC, so I'll more than likely get an E2e.
 
A Photon 2 on my key ring, and a Minimag with a nite-eze LED conversion in a nylon belt pouch.

Theres higher tech lights on the market, but the minimagAA is sort of like the 1911 of personal flashlights.
 
Get the LED conversion with the clickie tailcap and your minimag turns into a pretty high-tech light itself. :)

In case you are interested in up-gunning your Solitaire, here are a couple of links containing the best AAA lights on the market today:

To answer your question, I EDC an ORB Raw or JIL DD in addition to my keychain light in the winter months. Since neither of these lights are mainstream, here are some links:

I have a Photon 2 (blue light) on my keyring, and I also carry a (silver) Streamlight Twin Task 1-cell in a pocket of my jacket.
 
I could almost be
A Christmas tree ...

I was carrying a Streamlight PolyStinger because it's rechargeable, but it's pretty big and the button is too small for thick gloves, so I'm back to my E2.

Of course I've got a Phton on my keyring and now I've got a new ARC AAA clipped to my shirt pocket. These are for day and night.

I keep a green 5 LED NightCutter in my field jacket, and an Inova X5 for when I don't want to light up the whole street. Sometime I carry my X5 UV for fun.

Gotta have the Inova 24/7 along to signal to the UFOs. They keep trying to pick me back up, but I lost my transponder ... :(
 
CMG Ultra G and sometimes a Scorpion when I go out either very early in the morning and/or staying until late at night. (wacky work schedule)
