My most used flashlights at the moment are:
1. HDS Systems EDC Rotary (as a really fantastic EDC, I love it!)
2. Spark SL6 740 NW (for geocaching).
3. Niteye Eye 30 (for fun and all other applications).

But it differs from time to time, and I have so many lights that are my best friends...

Regards,
Walter

It's funny, but even though I have too many good lights, my EDC is a long-discontinued Fenix P2D that is festooned with rubber o-rings and a garden hose washer to make it easier to cigar-grip/twist the bezel. I just love that thing. The light I use to take out the dog late at night a final time is a yellow G2L (nitrolon bezel) with a 17670 (used only for short bursts). I rotate everything else throwy for my evening dog walks (partly for beam quality comparisons, partly for redundant 'situational awareness' area illumination). When it's cold, my inside coat jacket light tends to be a Z2 with a Nailbender 3-mode drop-in. If I were to travel outside the country, I would replace my sentimental favorite P2D with an earlier version of the Jetbeam Jet-I Pro, which is also a very useful and compact light.

1. Fenix TK21 U Most convenient, remarkable bright for its rating, super ergonomics
2. SkyRay STL-V Top throwing high intensity light and great value
3. Little Monster TM11 A portable flood light. Like having an HID car headlight in your hand

Most used, by far is the Photon Freedom Microlight on my keychain.
Most liked is my Malkoff Wildcat.
Most often carried(besides the Photon Microlight) is my HDS Ultimate 60GT.

Honorable mention to my Elzetta 3-cell ZFL-M60 with Hi/Lo switch in my bug-out bag.

Lets see, Streamlight Microstream, Preon II, Streamlight Stylus Pro C4 . Do we see a pattern here?

It would have to go to number 5 to get into something other than a AAA light. 4 would be a Fenix L0PSE and 5 would be an Inova X5.

- TerraLUX Lightstar 80
When I first got it I didn't like it. Orangish tinge light and more like 30-40 lumen (not 80) with minimal throw. Yet because of it's size and weight it is the one I carry everywhere. I soon realized that the natural color tone and minimal throw don't matter 95% of the time. The batteries last forever!!!!!

- MagLite XL50
Compact, bright and a simple UI Batteries last and last and last

- JetBeam BA20 or my iTP C8T
Bright, good throw with simple UIs on both.
Neither has strobe

1. Always in front pocket Eagletac D25C2 'Clicky' with two 123-Surefire batteries.

2. Always in reach Eagletac G25C2 with one Ealetac 3100mAh Li-ion protected battery.

3. For emergency use Nitecore TM11 "Tiny Monster" with 4 Eagletac 3100mAh Li-ion protected batteries.

10 Back up and charged Eagletac 3100mAh Li-ion protected batteries, 48 123-Surefire batteries stored in Pelican case, & many Surefire flashlights that sit looking underpowered and overweight. ;)

My E01 gets used most because it's on my keychain, but my favorite light would have to be my LD22; 2xAA is far and away my favorite form factor, and the mode spacing and runtimes on the LD22 are just perfect for my uses.
