Streamlight 90503 Survivor 175-Lumen Rechargeable Firefighter Flashlight - Safety-Rated Right Angle Light with AC/DC Charging, Orange | Ideal for Emergency Responders, Camping & Outdoor Adventures

So once upon a time I was sitting around reminicing about my old school army flashlight I had as a kid, and I wondered if anyone still made L neck flashlights like that, except with modern LED technology like my Maglite had. After much searching, I found this.This light is no joke. By long and far the greatest flashlight I've ever owned. Puts that dinky little GI flashlight to shameFirst off, it is BRIGHT, way brighter than my Maglite ever was. And not only that, because of the depth of the parabolic reflector inside, the beam goes SUPER far, and cuts through just about anything, heavy rain, snow, smoke, whatever, it just goes.It's also nice to just be able to clip it to my jacket and forget about it. That nice big button has an amazing feel, so I never even have to look at the light to find it, I can just hit it like second nature. It has a good sturdy feel to it as well, like it's not gonna pop off like other lights I haveThe construction as a whole is rock solid. You can tell this thing can take a beating, even though it's made of plastic. I toss this thing around because I know it can take it. And it works in any weather like I mentioned before, it is AMAZING in snow in particular. I loved going out on adventures at night during all the snow we got up here in the northeast this year with this thing. It was like day time practically.A feature I love in particular is the fact that it uses double A batteries. First off, I've owned this thing for 6 months now, and have yet to need to change the batteries (though it looks like it might need them soon). Second, unlike my Maglite, which needed D cells, which always seemed to get weak right around the time a hurricane or blizzard is coming and everyone is running around buying up all the D cells. But no one ever buys the AAs in those situations, and you get more for cheaper than the D cells, so thats where I think this thing really pays for itself. Sure it's pricy, but in the long run it'll save you in batteriesAnother feature I love is Moonlight mode, so I can use this thing inside instead of blinding myself at full power trying to peak into a dark corner of the house where we need a little more light or something. That is probably why the battery lasts so long, having multiple power modes like this, which is really just a convience you never knew you needed.I think I knew I made the right decision when one of my buddies who's a firefighter saw my new light and was like "We have those on our truck, they are amazing, where did you get one!?" At first I felt a little bad spending this much money on something like this, but with all that stuff combined, now I don't regret it one bit. I haven't touched that maglite since I got this thing. It is the ultimate flashlight, and the last one you'll ever need.
