Ok, I'm new to the site. I did the search but found nothing really useful so I thought I'd ask. I work at at prison where I have to use a flashlight on a daily bases, looking into cracks in walls and opening in steal frames. I'm looking to spend no more then $100 on a compact flashlight. My requirement are....
1. Compact
2. Rechargeable batteries
3. Awesome throw.
4. No LED's, I dont believe they have a good throw.
5. Durable in case I have to beat in inmate with it. Purely seld-defence.
6. Cost with shipping doesn't go over $100.
I'm not a flashlight guru like yourselfs, but I was thinking about getting the Streamlight Strion. I think the stinger is a bit to big. But, I know you all know more about different brands and I was thinking when someone buys a Streamlight, they're really just buying the name and it's possible to get something better for less. Keep in mind I'm not looking for something cheap i'm more then willing to pay 100 for something good. Any one have any opinion on what light I should get or comments about the Strion?
Thanks.
I also really like the Streamlight Twin-Task 3C-UV Flashlights but it's to big to place on belt.
