I am heavily involved in Search and Rescue in my county. I am also addicted to flashlights.. 3 times a year we teach a weekend Search and Rescue class. Usually I try to buy a few new toys before it to "test" and sometimes loan them out to the students to see how they hold up to SAR work.
Next week is my 1st class of the year and I'm looking for a new flashlight.
Usually my light of preference is one of these 2:
Pelican - http://www.pelican.com/lights_detail.php?recordID=2410
or
Streamlight - http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=104
I just picked up a streamlight LED HP http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=171 but it is rechargeable and I really prefer something we can take the batteries out and put fresh.
So.. Here is my question.. I'm looking for a new light.. Less then 80.00, it should be LED and I prefer it to run on AA's and it must have a decent amount of run time. At least 1-2 hours on a set of batteries if not longer.
Any thoughts? Thanx in advance!
