tscottme Thanks this. -
I'm a bit of a flashlight snob perhaps. I've been using O-light flash lights for a while. Have several. They are rechargeable and extremely bright. I use mine several times a Nighy and it's in my pocket day or night

Daily use
It's bright, rechargeable, and fits in my pocket without being obtrusive. I've had it since summer 2019.
I have a headlamp for when it's needed, but it's nice to have something that fits in your pocket so you always have it.MadScientist, tscottme, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this. -

I love the flashlights that recharge the internal 18650 battery via USB
I have something similar to this https://www.amazon.com/led-tactical-flashlight-rechargable/dp/B072WHQFJ7 -
Nitecore P-10
fits in your pocket and it’s super bright
a headlamp is also handy .
I love the new ones where the light is a flexible LED strip so the light shines in a good flood area instead of just right in front .
also the Guardian Angel portable strobe lights are handy if you break down .

Charged it once months ago when I first got it and it has never needed recharging since. I mainly use when checking 5th wheel locking pin.
I also have a couple of led strip headlights but don't use them much.tscottme Thanks this. -
I got a rechargeable headlamp and mag light. I use the headlamp almost daily. Have never turned the mag light on or got to hit anyone with it. Just stick with the headlamp and save some money.

I stopped at Walmart on the way to the yard yesterday and bought one of those flashlights. Charged it up and used it for my pretrip today. I'm impressed.Redtwin Thanks this.
