Time for a new flashlight

[Joe Hogan]

The problem with these very bright flash lights is they get very hot if used for more than a few minutes. Unless the flash light output can be adjusted lower for continuous use I find them unpleasant to use.
And some are just too bright for anything other than large area illumination.

Olight flash lights are a good brand. My EDC are these. The small light case is a battery keeping it at 100%. The larger unit is good for larger areas and easier to hold.

Agreed, that's why I like the ones that you can control brightness to manage temp.

I wish I was Neal’s little brother or next door neighbor so I could get all Neal’s “hand me downs” after his upgrades.
Still using a maglite and a cheap knockoff headlamp.
Apparently I am living in the dark ages and need to walk towards the light…

Can vouch for the longevity of the Surefire brand.

We have a couple of the defender type and have had them for quite a few years now with no issues.

Nice since they also come in handy if the “defensive” portion is needed.
