Flashlight Recommendations

[satchamo]

My old man has a birthday coming up and was wanting a new flashlight to replace the old mag light he still keeps in his truck. Weight isn’t a concern but I want to get him a bright, quality light that will last (IE no Amazon chinesium). He’d be using it for chores/blood trailing/etc. not looking for a headlamp - just a hand held.

I’m a bit overwhelmed looking. I didnt realize there was a flashlight underground . Any suggestions for something at or under $100?

I think Streamlight strion/stinger/SL are still made in the USA if you don't want Chinese stuff and don't want to spend Surefire money.

I like my olight and nitecore

If you're after US made, Surefire is probably your best bet. I've been really happy with both Streamlight and Phoenix too.

Fenix lights check them out. I’m a big fan of the PD36

Not sure if they are USA made but LED Lensor makes some great lights

Your in for a treat if you haven't looked at flashlights in a while. They have come a loong way. I have a key chain light that is better than my old heavy mag-light. Look at the ones that can take 3 aaa's or a 18650 lithium.

Fenix and Olight should get a look

Streamlight Stingers are great lights, easy to wire in the mount in the truck so it stays charged. Pretty close to your budget. https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-...msclkid=cdd4e8cd0571110a6f3c8150bb9f7680&th=1

I really like my streamlight wedge. It lives in my pocket and it carries nice.

If he has some sort of cordless power tool set almost all of these manufactures offer handheld lights that use their batteries that are usually pretty nice.
