How does everyone EDC their lights?

**Rohardi** · 05-22-16, 20:01

So I'm trying to figure out where I can EDC a flashlight fairly comfortably and with out it printing/being overly visible. I generally have my Glock 26/19 and a spare mag AIWB centerline upfront, In my front right front pocket I have my knife, (Large Sabenza, ZT0350, or Benchmade AFO II) front left pocket I have my keys, chap stick, change and anything else I my pick up along the way. In my back left pocket I have my iPhone 6S Plus (I take it out when sitting down/driving) and in my back right pocket I have my wallet. so trying to figure out where the best place to put a E2D/E1D LED Defender would be. Thoughts? How does everyone else EDC their lights?

I EDC a Pelican 1910B after reading this review from MSW. Perfect for my needs and it's extremely low-profile enough without being obtrusive or noticeable much when clipped to a pocket.

I am typically either wearing jeans or khaki shorts, and I tend to wear slimmer fit jeans.

For me, the most comfortable place is the front side of a front pocket. You know how most people carry their knives clipped to the rear of the pocket? I keep the light clipped to the front side, closer towards my.... you get it.

It's less obvious, it's less in my way (that's where I keep my iPhone 6s), and it's available to my support hand, which is important to me as I carry it primarily as a supplement to the handgun.

And FWIW, I carry a Surefire Sidekick in the front right along with my keys and a Fisher pen, and my wallet in the back right, with a knife clipped to the outer edge of the pocket (this has really reduced the number of knives I've had fall out of the pocket).

My setup is pretty much identical to yours--P2000 AIWB around 1:00, and if I'm carrying a spare mag, that is at 11:00. Front right pocket is my phone, and a pen and/or knife if I am carrying either, right rear pocket empty, wallet in my left rear pocket with a Surefire G2 carried vertically (bezel up) to the left of the wallet. The wallet holds it in place well, and while it's not completely hidden, it's fairly discreet. My front left pocket is keys, chapstick, and change.

The light is far enough to the side that I don't sit on it, and it's no different than just carrying the wallet. The only advice I'd give is to utilize the lockout tailcap to make sure the light doesn't run down in your pocket.

i carried a single cell light on my keys for years. it was clunky. i now carry button up in a front pocket. i've accidentally turned on the light on about 4 times in the last year. it gets hot enough for your to noticea nd turn it off, and wastes battery. it's such a better way to carry that despite the accidents, i continue.

I EDC my light clipped inside my front left pocket. Like trinydex, it also gets turned on accidentally sometimes, but it's so convenient and easy to get to.
