Streamlight or maglight flashlights

Streamlight of course. My brothers fire dept all carry Streamlights, as well as a buddy of mines fire dept. Good enough for that kinda service, good enough for me.

I have a big LiteBox, and then I have several of the ProPolymer 4AA's. I absolutely love the 4AA series stuff, my newest 4AA has the 7 LED's in it, had it for dang near a year and its still on its first set of batteries.

 

I have the streamlight. As a mechanic I use it daily. The #### thing is tough. I really like the fact that the charger is AC/DC capable by changing the cords. I also have a Streamlight that uses 2 D-cells and has 8 leds in it. Nice but its big heavy and I have to change the batteries in it about once a week if I use it lots.

Some engineers left Maglight and started Streamlight.

 

Here are two very similar(700 lumens) on high power. These cost more than your average light, but remember, these are atleast 1" smaller than a AA maglite! Runtime on high should be around 1 hour. Medium mode(approx. 300 lumens) should be around 3-4 hours. Both use re-chargeable li-on batteries. I wasn't putting down any streamlight. They are great lights. Just thought I'd turn some people onto high performance lights. They are quite neat, high quality, and very usable.
