I was just wondering ... can you mount a flashlight on a flashlight ?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

....only if the flashlights love each other very very much.....

Just don't buy cheap Chinese LiIon batteries. They can and will explode in flames.

In the great tradition of tactifool, I hereby call for flashlight... er... tactical portable concealable illumination systems to begin putting picatinny rails on their light bodies.

That would be a cool idea.....you could even attach a gun to your flashlight that way.....

Hmm. I almost always have at least two flashlights on me, actually - an 'original' brass 'Peak' flashlight (looks like an Arc AAA down to the details), and a pressure-sensitive LED light I got free with a headlamp - both on my key chain.

I also keep a LED-conversion Maglite in my jacket pocket. It's not really needed for the warmer months or when I'm not camping - ie, when I'm not wearing a jacket - so it just stays in there. It's had the same set of batteries for the past 2 years (or so) now, since they came out, and still serves its purpose.

Then, for trips, I'll have a 3-LED headlamp in my "goes with me everywhere" bag. I can't count how many times this has come in handy; I can not think of a single mounting option for a flashlight which would even be half as universally useful. Camping, emergency car repair, fishing, hunting, walking at night - you name it, it's superior.

I also always carry a Swiss Army Knife and a number of other tools; comes in real handy: someone needs something, and it's on my person already.

I am picturing a 5D Maglite with a kel-tec on a rail on it now.
