Right under the monitor is a river rock 2AA LED flashlight. If the power goes out, I'll have more than enough time on the battery backups to at leaat find that light. After that, it will help me find the many lanterns around the house.

But you could upgrade it with the Nite-Eyz LED bulb replacement and that would be ok. Mines in my pocket. If you want to be uber-taktikal you could also get the tailcap switch

I post this while at 34000 feet going 520MPH, and my Gladius is in my pocket.

You never know when a rolled up magazine and a flashlight will stop a bad guy.

Thor hanging from it's strap around my neck.
I never go anywhere at night without it.

I also have a Photon microlight strapped to my
left ring finger with velcro 24/7.

In my pocket is a Ray O Vac 2C cell (red).
It's my EDC pocket light. Very nicely crafted.

I wear slippers with lights built in. Got them off
HSC just before Christmas. Part of the Suzanne Sommers
fashion accessory collection. They're called "Step Lightly"
slippers. They're pink; but still do the job.

Am waiting for the Petzel headlamp I've ordered. When it comes,
I will wear it as my EDC 24/7. It wil replace the Ray O Vac (red).

I carry a SureFire everywhere I go, even at home. Usually I have an E2e on me. Sometimes though I'll have a Lumamax L4 on me.

If you carry a gun, you carry a flashlight.
