Need a couple of flashlights for work. Would like to spend about $50 each.

One that has a variable focus would be nice - wide to pinpoint.

Lithium battery is probably preferred, but I'm open to anything.

Thanks!

I am a flashlight nut and have more than I need. My go to flashlight is my Fenix PD35. Nitecore makes some good lights and LedLenser makes good adjustable beam lights.

Check out Powertac. I have been using the same E5 for 6 years at work and have nothing but good things to say. Lifetime warranty and their new M5 is over 1000 lumens.

Sofirn makes great lights for the price. SC31 Pro is a light that I think pretty much anyone can find great value in

I've had great luck with streamlight microstreams. Been eyeing the macrostream but haven't made the leap yet. Carry everyday and forget its there, was my favorite companion when I used to have to work on green equipment at all hours.

I’ll 2nd the streamlight micro stream and if you get it in the coyote brown color first click on is high output. And a great light for the money is the Olight i3E EOS, for about $10 and a AAA battery, it amazes me

One more, but it’s a little over your budget is the OLight s2r baton2, with the magnetic tail cap it comes in pretty handy

Check out Sky Lumen. Lots of choices on there with a variety of builds. A bit overwhelming IMHO. BUT I ended up getting a few.
