Flashlight recommendations?

I bought a fenix pd35 last year and love it. Rechargeable, small and 960 lumens when you need it oh and will also run up to 150 hours on eco mode. I love this light!

Ohh i forgot to mention . The 2 stage strobe is blinding for a little protection or to be seen.

Game Winner Rechargeable LED Spotlight | Academy

Our go to flashlight is a LED rechargeable spotlight that we keep next to the door, plugged in, ready to go. It's got tons of power and we're able to see across the pasture with when the dogs get excited about something. It's also good for shining through the window to see what's going on with the dogs when they start to bark at something, but we don't want to put on shoes and go check because so often they are just rough housing. My previous one cost about twice what this one did and it worked good, but the cat knocked it off the counter and busted it. I went with this one because of how heavy it was. My thinking was that for a battery to last and have plenty of power, it needs to be heavy. It's about two years old now and it works flawlessly!!!!

Man yours must be doing better than most of those reviews at Academy because the reviews suck.

I have one too, and it's bright enough for me to be able to stand in my back yard, and I can light up my neighbors trees in his backyard, about 500 feet away!..

I've been reading about all these large heavy mag lights and these D batteries that cost over $1 each and last a couple of hours and I'm thinking how antiquated these all are.

I have several modern 1000 lumen led flashlights that I bought on Amazon when they were on sale for about $5 each. I put one in the glove compartment of every car and truck, on my tractor, in my barn, by my bed, in the closet, etc.'

These are way smaller than a 2 D cell mag lite, way lighter, way cheaper, way brighter and they last a lot longer without the battery going dead while laid up. Many police departments are using these now because they are so bright they can temporarily blind someone and are light and easy to carry. Most of them have high, low and strobe features.

They use one 18650 battery that is rechargeable. I have never seen a better flashlight battery. They are larger than AA batteries but smaller than C batteries. They last for years. I have only had them for 3 years now and they are all still just like new. I get the chargers for about $2.50 each and I found the 5000 mAh batteries on sale on Amazon for 10 for $15. Do not buy the cheap 2000 or 3000 mAh batteries.

Why spend $50 or $100 for a flashlight that isn't as good as these when you can get 10 of these with 5 chargers and 10 batteries for about $80?
Check out this one, 2000 lumens for $6.24 and free shipping. (Prices vary often) Order your charger and battery from other places on Amazon.

I Like these also, with adjustable focus , 3 stage brightness about a 600 foot range
just keep spare li 18650 batteries charged up and good to go

Nice strong aluminum body and about $15 for 2

Basically different branding than the Bell & Howell Taclight that was on the TV ads

Cree XML T6 LED arrays seems to be the key also 6000 mAh LI's

1000-1600 lumens on high

Most recently I purchased - Fenix LR50R. It's so powerful - flip the button and you get a recoil - just like a rifle. The far side of my lake is 900+ feet. It will turn that cliff area into broad daylight. Not cheap but I have no desire to tango with the "beasts of the night". And there are plenty of those around here .............

I have several surefire flashlights and like them a lot. Lately I am using LED Lenser headlight when walking the dog at night. It throws a lot of light in a big circle and recharge battery last a long time. It has a dimmer to adjust to any output you prefer

Duracell 700. Best flashlight I've ever owned. Bought in a two pack at Cosco for less than $20.
