How often do you use a flashlight? (self.flashlight)

Hi! As someone who doesn’t use flashlights often at all I’m quite curious how often you actually use flashlights. Are they like an everyday carry?

More often now that I have lights that don't suck like the one on my phone, or the Streamlights that my old shop issued. I do a fair bit of inspection work that requires more and better light than the overhead lights, find myself looking in dark corners all the time, own cats that like getting into weird places, and investigate odd noises from the back yard.

I usually EDC two lights; one that's more convenient and one that's more powerful. They're different enough in other ways to justify the dual-wielding.
