My recommendation for a good rechargeable flashlight
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077BLB1DN/

I found this, great size, usb rechargeable, not too bright.

You like, you buy.

Good find, ARC!

Nice. Inexpensive. Streamlight durability. Looks sharp. The clip is backwards so it can be clipped to a hat. USB rechargeable. What's not to like?

I've been thinking of going Streamlight, just for funzies, and because there is nobody to stop me.

Although I might still spend another $20 and get a Fenix like this one:

I'm a Fenix fan, own a number of them. This one is hands down my favorite.

I have one and I love it. I carry it on my key ring so I hardly ever use any other flashlight.

I bought it at the Streamlight booth at the NRA annual meeting in Dallas a year and a half ago. I recharge it once a month - it takes less than one hour to charge.

One of the Amazon reviewers said the black model he received was a knockoff. You might want to order one of the other colors.
Streamlights are great bang for the buck.

I have one of those and it’s been my EDC at work since they hit the market. If I could choose only one of my many excellent lights it would be this one. It’s that good.

Been meaning to snag one.

I wish it had the option to pop in a AAA battery in a pinch.
I have only seen ones that use those CR123s.

The clip will work both ways.

Along the same lines, this is a great one as well. The Nebo slyde king. 500 Lumens, rechargeable with usb port, has a slide out work/shop light with red/blinking/red or white light and a flashlight, and has a magnet on the end.

I concur. I really like mine. Quite bright for the size and really convenient.

You are correct, it is. Oranges and Toyotas, as it were. But after the 20% discount, it's price is just this side of tolerable.

Anyway, I'm probably still going to jump on this Streamlight 66604. For $29, I can buy three and not even feel it. Great light at a great price.

There are AA battery lights on ebay for less than $5. I have used these and given many away.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-T...4543b476e27b45048459

They can also use the 14500 battery for extra brightness. The light zooms in and out for flood to spot.

jeezus, just as my membership in the Gotta Have Yet Another Rechargeable Flashlight Society was beginning to elapse.

More expensive, and more than twice the size.

Guys, the flashlight I'm recommending is excellent. Stop suggesting trash. Just either go buy it, or move along.

Yup!

Ordered two, one to replace my sisters 'spare batteries in the fridge' light. Love my TLR1-HL, -3 and -7. Good gear.

Couldn't pass on a Fisher space pen while shopping. Always seemed pretty cool.

Only 250 lumen... that's a pass.

Once you get used to 800-1000 lumen, there's no going back.

I have 3 of these Streamlights.
Almost always have one in a pocket especially at work. It is the AAA version just because I have easier access to batteries all the time.

It's been great.
