My 1300 lumen bushnell pro just kicked the bucket. After 3 months of use. I'm very unsatisfied!

It's time to move on now. Can anyone recommend a good flashlight? Must be rechargeable, over 700lumes. I don't care much about beam distance. And under $100.

Any local retailers? Menards/Walmarts selection sucks.

I have been looking into this. But I want something a little bigger.

Any help would be gladly appreciated!

Streamlight swinger here. mine's been run over multiple times, fell/left in a water tank overnight, dropped, and all around abused for the better part of 7 years. still works flawless. the switch went bad on it after i left it on an exhaust manifold and went for a test drive (whoops), which was repaired free of charge. also i recently replaced the battery, since it's life degraded.


pretty sure you can get a stinger for around $100 on ebay. lifetime warranty on them too, so it will be the last light you have to buy.

I've moved away from regular flashlights and gone to the bigger pistol grip spotlights. This is mine. I know it only say 920 lumen, but that can't be right. This thing shines into peoples bedrooms a half mile across the pond that's in our back yard.

Always been a Mag-Lite guy :dunno:

I've got a ML125 for work. It's smallish, but bright as fuck, and holds a charge forever. It claims that it's only 180 lumens, but there's no fucking way.

Our engineers use these...they're great, also hold a charge great, and the chargers are easy to use. Best part about the chargers is there 12V and 120V compatible so it's easy to mount one in the car/truck.

That's another thing I want to mention. Don't get hung up on lumens. Because I have used cheap flashlights that claim huge lumen output but aren't nearly as bright as expensive flashlights that have realistic numbers. I'm betting there isn't a standard way of measuring and/or some manufacturers just straight up lie
