EDIT: Never mind disregard, I just saw you asked about a flAshlight with an "A".

 

[nowski]

Here's a rechargeable my son got me this past Christmas, this thing is amazingly bright...

 

[LowRiver2]

Go to your local gun shop! Some badass lights that mount on guns. They're not cheap but bright as hell and will fit in your pocket! Jmo

Mine comes in handy, OFF the gun when used for light only lol

Just a side note for anyone still shopping for one...

When you turn these new breeds of flashlights on full tilt..

One, even though they are LED, they get freaking HOT!

Two, on full tilt, the battery won't last too long.

My lights are a little long in the tooth. They use regular batteries and I choose rechargeable.
Bell&Howell PS 750.
I paid about 15 bucks at a farm&fleet as they were closing them out. Shoots a beam about 300 yards which is way farther than my eyesight can make out. That is a 3 C-cell light. lasts about 8 hours. I hate the switch. The third click is a flasher that will blind you even when pointed away.

Because I'm about blind and need extra light in every day lighting situations I use a streamlite Junior LED that uses 2 AA batts that are rechargeable. It lasts about 6 hours using top of the line rechargeables. The switch is finicky though. It is fairly well balanced as I hold it in my teeth very often.

So many flavors of lights out there these days.

Was out walking my dog in the dark the other night, he grabbed a stick, turned out to be a baby rattler. He spit it out before it bit thankfully, but I need a better flashlight so I can see better, we almost stepped on the thing. Been buying Amazon tactical deals for a few years and they only work good for a few months and then start to die off after recharging a few times.

Any recommendations on something rechargeable that will burn retinas out and not be disposable after a few months?

I have a couple Olight's. Had them a few years, very tough and the magnetic charger cables are hard to beat and don't seem to be a fragile as the mini USB type.

I was never a headlight guy, thought they where gay until I got one of these as a gift, honestly it's the best thing ever, super small, bright and stays going for a very long time.

Have gotten a few of there hand held lights also, all great and there bigger lights are crazy bright with high/low, 99% of the time you don't even need the high.

I still have my 9AN from before LED times, converted to LED and aftermarket battery and it’s better than when new.

 

[SoCalDave]

I've had this one as my main go to since 2006 with lifetime warranty. I had issues with the switch in 2009 amd they had me send it into them...2 weeks later I recived a new flashlight and charger for free. They even paid the shipping cost...

INOVA T3 Lithium Powered LED Flashlight

The INOVA T3 is a robust high performance, hand-held sized LED flashlight, small enough to fit in a uniform pocket, but powerful enough to shoot a beam up to a far-reaching 617 feet.

OLight USA just signed as a sponsor on a Texas gun forum I’m on.

They made one post and haven’t been back, getting a ton of shit for being made in China.

I have an OLight on a G19...it’s a decent light.

It’s the only Chinese part I knowingly have on any of my firearms right now...but I’ll probably get another Sig Romeo 5 red dot to replace the one I sold a while back, to put on an AR pistol poverty pony I have.

Damned globalism LOL

I buy Fenix for my employees for use on construction sites. High Intensity light uncovers/resolves a lot of issues

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

based on the info on this post I bought......

https://www.amazon.com/Fenix-PD40R-Mechanical-Rechargeable-Flashlight/dp/B087CG1YW6

It arrived and I was like fak, $120 for a flashlight and its about the size of a tube of toothpaste, much smaller actually. Charged it up and headed out for a dog walk and I was blown away. Crazy how bright and how far the beam goes, in hindsight, well worth the money, should have saved all the money on the cheapos over the years and got one of these.

 

[Luvnlife]

Another one for stream light

We use these at work. Like 80 bucks but work very well.

For all the money in the world, why not led convert an old mag lite. I drug mine out wile moving, threw fresh batteries in it and was impressed. When I was still towing, Streemlights were the shit

I went to school with a girl that her dad invented the mag lite in his garage in Pomona

I remember carrying a 4 D battery mag lite back in the day that was three feet long.

Back in the day, those four "D" cell MagLites were required equipment for law enforcement officers. They put out a very bright beam of light, but more importantly, were quite effective when used to apply an aluminum shampoo on uncooperative suspects.

Doubt I’ll buy another handheld flashlight. Hands free Headlamps are the way to go. Everything you look at is lit up, they spot, they flood and they last all night and then some. Petal, Lenser, Black Diamond all have badass units in your price range.

Nebo and Coast are the bees knees. You don’t need anything big when you buy their product.
