Flashlights - Best of balance price and quality

[Bulldawg]

I want to get a couple flashlights to have in the house, in my truck, camping box, and for my kids that aren't going to cost me a few hundred to get a few of them. I don't know if anyone has a preference on these or if I'm just as good off going on amazon or to Academy and buying some that look ok.

Obviously I'm not looking for top of the line but would like to get something that breaks after a few days lol.

The Costco Duracell flashlights that come in a 3 or 4 pack are what I use for exactly this purpose and so far so good

If you have lithiums and a charger, Convoy.

Seems like the lone Chinese brand that has resisted the trend to add complexity at the cost of reliability/durability.

Coast makes some decent quality but affordable flashlights.

Sofirn, very bright, not a lot of money. I buy them direct and deal with longer shipping, you can choose the US warehouse and decrease shipping time for a little higher price or get off amazon for a bit more money. $25-35 will get you a light going for $100 or more from other brands.
