[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1447224, member: 14668"] You need 2 flashlights. Flashlight #1 needs to be a 4 or 5 cell Mag Light. The new LED ones are as bright as a spotlight and they make a great club for thumping dogs that want to bite you. You can buy a ring holster for them like the cops use that hangs from your belt and makes them a lot easier to carry around with you than a bulky spotlight. Another problem with spotlights is that they are made of plastic and they simply wont survive long in a package car, whereas my Mag Light is about 25 years old and still as good as new. Flashlight #2 needs to be a Streamlight compact AAA model that slides into your shirt pocket and clips like a pen. These things are amazingly bright. They are also tough anodized aluminum that holds up well to being accidentally dropped or beat up. They are perfect for lighting up dark stairways and porches, and they are small and light enough to hold in your mouth if you need both hands free. I like mine for the simple fact that its small size and light weight means it is in my shirt pocket and available 100% of the time. You can order them on Amazon for around $20 or so. Take it from a guy with 27 years experience working in the dark; don't cheap out on flashlights. Invest once in a Mag Light and a Streamlight, and they will last the rest of your career. [/QUOTE]
