When You Need a Serious Flashlight for Safety or Convenience



A good friend that knows flashlights recommended this as his best ever. Fenix is the brand name.

It is $96, but read the reviews.  It is a “serious” flashlight with many advantages. One reviewer said that getting rechargeable AA batteries was a good idea.  He got a number of the Amazon basic NiMH 2000mAh batteries, and he charges them using a BC-700 Lacross Charger. Always a good idea to keep some good Alkline batteries around as backups.

With winter storms coming, this might be a good thing to have at night. Whether you are in an attic, or a crawl space, or outdoors at night, this is a wonderfully bright light that is still light and portable. Some reviewers said the batteries last a long time, 10 minutes a day for several weeks, with no problem.  Note, it takes 8 AA batteries.

As a less expensive but wonderful alternate, try these, they are favorites of mine for a long time.  Great light, beautiful design :


Techlite.  Sometimes available at Costco for $33, or less. 3 Pack.  Quite a good deal for this caliber product.Takes only 3 AAA batteries, which last quite awhile.
