What are you using and why?
Well, I can actually get Sig Stoplites at cost through a friend, but I use something far more mundane: a head mounted multi-LED lamp.
It's hands free, always illuminates exactly where I look,and doesn't require me to aim my weapon at what I'm illuminating. It's also inexpensive, and handy for many other uses. I seldom touch a handheld flashlight these days,as I find them too cumbersome when performing manual tasks.
Downsides are that I have to go one handed to change the beam/turn it off, and the aforementioned "makes me a target" issue.
Fortunately, most of my home invaders are possums and coons who seldom fire back.

If I didn't use this as a multipurpose light, I'd likely go with a weapon mounted light. Handheld lights are inconvenient in many cases. If I use a handheld light,it's usually a multi-million CP spotlight.
