I carry an Ikelite PCm. It's the little brother of the PCa. Runs on 4 AA's instead of 6. I really like it. It's compact, very bright, and you gotta love Ikelite's customer service.

<DIV>I used to carry a mini q40 attached to my mask strap. During bug season, I'd use a pair of them as my mains though. Only problem was you'd have to remember to cover them with your hands every time you looked at your buddy. </DIV>

I use a UK SL4 on my backplate harness. It works well, but to be honest I haven't had to use it all that frequently. It's always there though.

Following my search for a good primary light I'm also going to get a Princeton Tec LED Attitude light as a secondary. Everyone raved about the LED lights. If it's no good I'll just use my current torch as a secondary (Mirage something??).

I carry a Ikelite PCa in my Ranger pocket, but I have been looking at some of the LED lights. I just can't decide which one to buy....maybe I'll have to get several of them.

Halcyon Scouts for me. Got them years ago. I'll probably start looking around for some LED versions.
