Rechargeable “mega-flashlight”?

[Macintosh]

Looking for a “so bright you’ll burn someone to a crisp” flashlight for navigating a boat at night, occasional blood trailing, around the back 40, etc. I’m looking for rechargeable, would be awesome if I could also charge in my truck. I’ve looked at a couple of the pistol-grip marine spotlight type lights with 1500-3000lumen output, but not sure what else is out there thats good quality. Anyone point me to what they've used and been happy with, anything I need to know?

 

[Kroach]

It's not a pistol grip style but absolutely love my streamlight stinger. Super bright. Extremely durable and haven't had to replace the battery in the 4 years I've had mine so far.

 

[Macintosh]

Thanks, will check that out. Which size do you have? Charge time/run time?

Im not set on any one style, its just what I initially looked at. I’m definitely looking for a wicked bright spotlight of a light beam (so far looking at the 1500-3000lumen stuff) , but beyond that if theres any other type of light I should look at thats what Im hoping to learn.

I have this one and it is impressive

I have this one. Pretty happy with it

I'll give another recommendation for Nitecore. I've had one of their 1,000 lumen lights for several years, it is rechargeable via micro USB cord.

I’ve got a Fenix RC40 at home, not sure if it’s still in production. The kit that I have comes with 120v charging cords and a storage box. I know there’s a 12v charger available because I have used one for the LR80 at work.

 

[Desk Jockey]

This is my anti vampire light. It throws some light. Used it on a few blood trails and keep it in my truck.

[Redwing]

If you want to go down a rabbit hole go check out flashlight YouTube. Plenty of reviews with video of the flashlight beams that compare different models in the same class.

 

[EasilyExcited]

Stupid bright doesn't work great for finding blood in my experience. My only 2cents

 

[Macintosh]

Agreed, for blood its more in conjunction with a smaller light, ie ”its gott be right here somewhere…(spotlights the entire far side of the gulley)..there it is!”

Keep it coming, I appreciate the suggestions.

Have a few guys at work that swear by the streamlight stinger
Stinger

 

[Mike Islander]

I have one of these. 5000 lumens. 1.5 miles of throw (not a misprint). 1.8 million candlepower. Incredible when used in the boat.

8 x 18650 rechargeable batteries, but will run at 75% full power on one cell.

It's almost 5 pounds and 12" long. Comes with a strap similar to a laptop.



A bit more practical is this little beauty.

Thanks for these. I often run the boat well pre-dawn and though I prefer to navigate in the dark I need a thrower to light things up from time to time. One of those might be the answer.

Nitecore.
I have had multiple of them and like them. They do innovate a lot, and have a kind of confusing naming order. Go to their main illumination page ( https://flashlight.nitecore.com/ILLUMINATION ) if not familiar with them.
May not fit exactly all your scenarios but I suggest you at least look into them.
