Looking for a new flashlight for work.

Been using mini mags for years. Just wondering if there's something better. Looking for - Small, belt holster, led, bright. AA batts.
$$ is a factor due to possibility of dropping overboard.

Recently purchased two of these, rechargeable and INCREDIBLE !

 

[Jester896]

my EDC is an Olight Baton 3 ultra compact...rechargeable (good battery life), magnetic base with a pocket clip, is lockable so it doesn't come on in your pocket and 1200 lumens I think. I clip it in my watch pocket.

mini mags laying all over around here btw

Always had good luck with Streamlight and Fenix. Amazon is your friend.
Truth be told I also snag the chepo (battery powered) at Sams, Tractor Supply, etc. As long as they are ~1000 lumens, I stash them around the hacienda for whatever need may srise

My edc light is a streamlight protac 1L-1AA. Not the brightest. But bright enough for the spaces or distances used. Uses cr123 or AA. It will also work with AAA in a pinch.

Why not a hard hat mounted light. You know you have to wear it all the time, right? Something light and cast a good light? Both hands free and less likely to drop it? I know you've seen them. LEDs are all pretty good now days.

I've had the same SureFire defender for like 10 years. Super reliable.

Nitecore or OLight are good ones but ccp. I like the rechargeable. However, I would probably recommend buying Surefire or Streamlight. Both made in USA.

Streamlight 88813 Wedge XT 500-Lumen Slim Everyday Carry Flashlight, Includes USB-Cord, Pocket Lanyard, Coyote​

 

[Flounder Hounder]

I have the wedge and like it. But out on the boat at night, I use

WdtPro Rechargeable Flashlights High Lumens, 2 Pack 10H Long Lasting Super Bright EDC Flashlight, LED Mini Tactical Flash Lights for Camping Emergency, Drop & Water Resistant (Battery Included)​

from Amazon. $15.99 for two. I can buy a LOT of these to replace one lost Wedge...

 

[Flounder Hounder]

The Wedge is smaller profile and fits in my pocket like a knife.

Sofirn SC31T
I usually don't go for rechargeables (this one's not an integral or proprietary battery, though... I think it's a 18650), but this one can't be beat: 1 Lumen through 2000 Lumens (1, 10, 80, 300, 800, and 2000 settings), Strobe, Beacon, SOS:

P.S., Don't mess up and order the SC31 Pro unless you want to end up with instructions like this (i.e., the Pro has an Anduril 2 Operating System !):

 

[fla kid]

My first choice would be the Streamlight stinger rechargerable. H ave had 2 or 3 they all lasted for years .

 

[rviray]

I got a couple of these when they were on sale. I use them pretty much everyday when the wife and I go on our early morning walks.

I like the 3 pack from Sam’s for $20. Nice & bright but they use AAA.

Good choice.
I’ve got a couple of those I keep in my safe for additional lighting.

Great recommendations here. I'm in the market for a new rechargeable light, and I'm checking out Amazon. The one I'm replacing is the key chain light that's on the gadget rack at AutoZone. That was not a bad light at all, and it went 2 1/2 years before it bit the dust.
