Normally I carry a Streamlight MicroStream as my primary EDC light. However, I also have a 200 lumen Ultralight tactical light I purchased at DX. (Awesome light BTW, very happy and impressed with it for the $12 price tag). I added a clip to the light and am going to experiment with carrying it on my belt.

Now, normally I carry this light in my bag since I do not have a regular need for a that much light, and my MS is usually enough to handle most tasks. However, there are times when it would have been advantageous to have a brighter light. Plus the light has the added advantage of the self defense bezel. I’m going to carry both lights on my person for a week, and see if there is any practical advantage to doing so.

Now, just out of curiosity, do you carry a tactical light on your person regularly? Either on its own or in addition to another light. And what are your thoughts on doing so?
