What flashlights do you travel with?

I carry an ARC AAA, ARC LSH-P and a Streamlight Batonlight. I occasionaly swap the LSH-P for my Surefire E2e with TID - depends where I'm going....

Surefire E2e SG in my left rear pocket, Arc AAA SE on my keyring and if I have my Laptop bag, there's a Surefire E2HA with a KL! and a spare set oc CR123s and a spare AAA.

Darkness, who need's it?

I too have a Vic Midnite MiniChamp II. Love it. I find the implements a bit hard to deploy sometimes, though.

I keep hoping they will upgrade the Vic Executive to "Midnite II" status, exhanging the useless tweezers and inadequate toothpike for a retractable pen and red LED light.

I recently acquired an Arc LSH - P, and it instantly became my carry - everywhere, do - everything light. That and a Princeton Tec Surge cover just about every necessity.
 
I like my Surefire E2 and carry it alot. But for everyday carry I prefer a long brning L.E.D. I have a Pelican mini L.E.D. light on my keys and a Mini-Mag that I am going to change over to one of the drop in L.E.D. bulb replacements. That will extend the burn time on a set of AA batteries from 2 hours to 48 hours. I like the AA's because of the size. I can take some spares without adding much weight. I used to carry one of the PAL L.E.D. light until a little problem at an airport where they did not know what it was. LOL:eek:
 
Take a Streamlight Scorpion and two spare batteries with you, that's good enough.
Hell and back, no problem.
 
I always have two flashlight close at hand first the Streamlight clip-mate it's a three LED light that lasts 80 hours on three triple A...Second a streamlight stinger it last two hours on one batt it's very bright and it comes with two batteries and a two hour quick charger. with these two lights you will never be in the dark :D
 
Heh -- and I thought I'd been following the brand-development of LED flashlights pretty closely! I finally come here and discover ARC, which I had never heard of before. I guess now I'll have to buy one. :p

Anyway, to be on topic: I recommend some of the *cheaper* LED flashlights. There's one by Brinkmann that you can usually find at Walmart. It's shaped like a black and silver toilet paper tube. It has a rubberized pushbutton on/off switch at the rear (it can be used for signaling: instant-on switch, or push hard for full-on), a focused (lensed) single LED that makes quite a good, tight, bluish spot. Runs on 2 AA batteries. I believe they sell for under $10. Sorry, I don't know the model name.

Also by Brinkmann is the "Rebel," another 2 AA batter LED flashlight with similar features as that mentioned above. Slimmer design, traditional flashlight (head is wider than body). Similar lensed LED and rear instant-on/full-on switch. This one comes with an amber, red and blue lens cover and also a belt loop/clip for belt carry. I got several of them for about $15 each at Walmart. Availability has been sketchy, though. Sometimes they have it, other times not. The Rebel is my favored flashlight. It provides a good, usable spot of light -- the traditional spot as opposed to the fuzzy-edged illumination of many LEDs that have no lense to focus them. I always have a Rebel in my flight bag for night flying. The red lense is very useful in a night-cockpit environment where night-vision maintenance is crucial.

I also carry several Photon Microlights. One is clipped through a brass rivet in the kydex neck sheath that holds my combo-edge Delica. They ride together under my shirt and are at all times available for use.

I also typically carry a Princeton Tec Attitude 4 AAA LED light in a cargo pocket of my carpenter's shorts. I like that one because it's waterproof.

Surefire Z3 and E2e-HA. I have a KL1 on the way as a backup head for potential long-run-time situations. I'm sure the KL1 will be a welcomed accessory. I'm curious to see how this digitally regulated unit acts.

Arc FlashLight You'll NEVER go back!
Someday you mite laugh at the rest of your post,
The way I laugh about my old Mini-M@g-lights :eek: :barf:
 
If you have an interest in high quality LED torches, then you must get an Arc LS. By the way, Arc is discontinuing their Low Domes and they're on sale for $65.00. They're not cheap, but you won't regret getting one. Arc Flashlights
