Exactly when and where I'm going out usually determines which light and where I carry it.

I have several small "tactical" lights. The two that see the most work currently are an E2e from Surefire and a Streamlight rechargeable, which is the same size as a Surefire 6P.

The Streamlight gets most of the use when I'm riding on the ambulance, or when I'm looking for a light to carry on my belt.

When I'm running on the truck, I also have a larger Streamlight Strion light, that I carry in my gear bag. Use it when I know I'm gonna be working in the dark (the scene of an MVA or something for example.)

But yeah, I'm more likely to have a flashlight on me then I am to have a firearm...only because I still spend time in NJ... the only tool I have more often then the flashlight is my knife :)

So far, I have a maglite with the l.e.d add-on for computer work and then I just bought a surefire E1L for limo jobs. Its great when I have a drunk (makes 'em think you're a cop) or when I have to search the back of the limo to make sure none of the drunk bachelors dropped a wallet, a wedding ring (yes, it happens), or any other valuable.

When it's headed towards dusk I carry one and I have a light mounted on my XD45 when I go to bed

Wherever I go, my Surefire L2 follows behind me clipped to my back pocket

Yes. Everywhere I go.

I wear a neck knife 24/7, and on the ball chain I have a Photon Freedom Doug Ritter version Microlight. So that one is always with me, although I remove it for showers and swimming. (Its water resistance is not perfect.)

Apart from that, I wear a nylon belt holster with either a MiniMagLED or a SureFire E1L Outdoorsman. All the time. They come in very handy.
