Stream light Micro rechargeable. Carry mine everyday and use it daily. It’s amazing how as our eyes get older it’s just not the focus we have to deal with. Gotta put some light on it too

Stinger is a serious tool, we have several. We keep one at the back door when we let the dogs out, one in each vehicle.
Rechargeable, reliable and worth it.

For an EDC light, sofirn sc31pro. You can get them in the $20’s on sale and I’d put them up against of the big names. They have a lot of different lights.

For a knock around flashlights, I have had good luck with the few Energizers I’ve bought. I’m not worried if they get lost or destroyed.

Sofirn IF30 Powerful Rechargeable Flashlight x1 style: with 32650 battery- Just bought one of these. I have more flashlights than I need- Surefires, Fenix, Streamlight’s etc…and I keep convincing myself I need another one. I guess a man can’t too many flashlights.

I have had a streamlight hpl stinger since 2014…it still shines a beam stout enough to walk on..and i cant tell the rechargeable batteries are not still new…i paid alot of money for that datgum thing all them years ago and i tell you what, its paid off…been the best flashlight ive ever had. I buy a $40 nebo about every 2 months..they aight..but i have to use a light every day..for hiurs on end..they dont hold up..ive got nebo and coast headlights both and the nebo is way more comfortable. I wish i could tell you a great light that wont be terribly expensive..but they aint one..an ive had some of the above mentioned..never had a light better than the streamlight..an the surefires ive had have been junk..most lights ive had have been junk..nebo for the money..and they aint great..just aight. I bet ive been through 10 this past year..in the last little bit i started buyin 2 at a time that way id always have a workin light.

Had Streamlight Stingers, various versions for years. Good lights. My last two are reserved for the house and as a backup light for work now.

I switched to Fenix a few years ago and I'm staying. I use flashlights nearly every day for work.
Fenix PD36R Pro. Rechargeable version. Great feel. Great light output with 5 levels. Battery life is outstanding. Work, camping, EDC, hunting...does it all in a small package.

Shout out to the TK21 which is a more concentrate light at 3600 lumens. It will shine a light a long way. Another shout out to the Fenix HT18R V2 which is about 8 inches long and will throw a concentrated beam nearly 3/4 of a mile. It's great for locating jugs on the river at night, and looking for deer that run after the shot late in the evenings. For as small as it is you would be shocked how powerful it is.

These have been great: Headlamp 2 for $43. They create a pretty wide, but very bright beam of light. illuminate ~10ft diameter ~10ft away.

My issue is with the shitty AA or AAa batteries now days
They’ve ruined several lights and one electric safe I had.

That's the truth....DO NOT, under any circumstances, leave batteries in one for a few months, during the offseason, etc. If it isn't being used regularly, just take them out. I almost ruined my favorite Black Diamond headlamp due to corroding batteries. Fortunately I caught it early, got them out, and was able to clean the contacts with vinegar and a tiny piece of sandpaper. But, much longer and it would've been trashed

I have had good luck with the Amazon brand rechargeable AA batteries. Had a couple of them die (won't recharge) but zero leakage in 3 years.

I wouldn’t use a light that didn’t have onboard usb-c charging and 18650 or similar lithium battery.

Duracell’s seem to be the worst.
