Flashlight suggestions?

Stream light is what I have in my hunting pack and kitchen drawer. I'm sure there is something better now, but I haven't had to buy a quality flash light in 11+ years. That alone speaks for itself.

Cost range from $30-$100+... I think I spent about $60 a piece on my two lights and hit the middle of the road.

They'll light up an owl or coon in the top of a tall pine damn well.

I use Fenix myself for the past 10-15 yrs

I have Streamlight, Surefire and Olight, plus a few random cheap chinesiums of unknown brand. My last two purchases were Olight but if you don't like proprietary charging I'd go with Fenix or Streamlight.

Olight does have a couple of AA or AAA models that just use regular batteries, but once you get past that they use proprietary stuff. It's not expensive but it's not as convenient as USB charging.

Fenix

I keep a Stream light Stinger in my truck on a charger with an extra battery. It's never let me down.

I prefer headlamps so it frees up my hands for shooting deer. As far as brands, I just use whatever any of my neighbors left unsecured in their truck or garage.

VaporTrail headlamps. Best bang for your buck

Olight Warrior S1.

I did the railroad for a while. I was a conductor before I got fired for safety reasons.


I needed a good flashlight because theirs sucked. Especially if it’s pitch black outside and I’m walking the length of a full train in Woodstock Alabama literally BFE.


I got a Streamlight that’s more like a spotlight….75 yards away.
