Streamlight68750 Dualie 3AA 140-Lumen Intrinsically Safe Industrial Flashlight with Spot/Flood and 3 "AA" Alkaline Batteries, Yellow

Search and Rescue aux lighting is a must, dependability is Job 1. During SAR OP's it's a bad day or night for person(s) needing emergency assistance be it a downed AC, a missing/lost hiker with injuries. This is where the dependability comes into the picture when performing a pre-flight inspection on an AC. Often inspections are perform at night outside of a hanger where a dependable flashlight is a must checking flight surfaces, engine compartment etc. Having a dependable, functional flashlight with a proper light pattern (no dark spots) is key and a tremendous asset. It's yellow making it a cinch to locate if misplace. I own many Streamlight flashlights, headlamps and aux lightning. To date not one Streamlight has failed me. I pack this same Streamlight in my POV and on my person while camping, hunting, walking my four legged friend. This particular lamp is the latest addition to my Streamlight family. I'm very pleased with it's operation, works perfectly just as the other Streamlights I own. It's already been put to the extreme test in an unpleasant environment under harsh conditions. The (Streamlight 68750 Dualie 3AA Dual Beam Flashlight 140 lumen spot beam and 140 lumen downward beam is reasonably price, having a well constructed rugged exterior with easy to locate functional switches during low light/dark conditions, is water resistant with a light weight tough polymer body and very easy to locate by it's bright safety yellow color. The properly sized hinged clasp is very handy when attaching to a shirt/jacket pocket or belt for hands free operation. Light output isn't overly bright but don't let that hinder you in purchasing one of these great overall lamps. Those that are familiar with dependable handheld lighting know this model is perfect for close up inspection of equipment, lighting a confined area, handy to grab out of a kitchen drawer for emergency lighting around the house during a power outage, even packing one in your emergency kit for the auto is a must. Works great at night going for a stroll walking Fido. Effective at lighting a dimly lit pathway with ease. I generally carry 2-3 flashlights at night, typically a high lumen blinding lamp, another in the 600-800 lumen range and the one in this review. Works great when walking/hiking, I'll switch both lamps on then secure it to my jacket pocket or vest using the long and wide hinged clasp so the wider beam shines outward and tight beam shoots straight down, making it highly effective covering such a large area directly in front and outward of your feet and wider pattern with coverage close to 180 degrees outward. Having both lamps on, directed down and outward is very effective while walking easily seen by in-coming traffic at the same time not overly bright that it blinds a motorist. I highly recommend this lamp with it's many uses! Lt JGF USAF Aux. Emergency Services/Air Search and Rescue

Great flashlight. Main light reaches 150 meters no problem, and also has flash mode with a half-press on the button. Spot mode illuminates about a 1.5 meter circle from waist level, provides even, bright illumination for spot checking things. Spring-loaded clip (with serrated inner surface) allows you to easily hang it from a shirt pocket and give you hands-free illumination. Runs on 3 ea. AA batteries, so not hard to maintain. With LED bulbs, expect a long time of good use from this. Yes, I would definitely buy this again.

I have owned this flashlight for over 3 years. It has been used almost daily in rain, snow, and sub zero temperatures without failure. It has been dropped on concrete. It is virtually indestructable. The dual lighting function is excellent. This is a high quality item that you can depend on. I have also had a alkaline battery leak inside of it. A quick clean with vinegar and rinse with water and it was as good as new. I highly recommend this item.

The way they designed dual function on this light is genius, we just got back from a family camping trip and for me this may be the best camping/hiking/hunting flashlight in the world. Why? Because you can turn on the spot and the flood at the same time, the flood is pointing down so you get tons of light to see where you are walking while at the same time the spot light is pointing forward so you can see what's up ahead. I also use it all the time to go get firewood from the rack at night. I just clip it on my pants or shirt and turn the flood light on. You can also quickly click on the flood and set it on a table to see what you are working on. I strongly recommend Lithium or rechargeable batteries (I'm done with alkaline, they always leak and corrode my equipment.) Also, there are no stupid modes you have to click through on this light. I have tons of LED flashlights and I've noticed that those with "modes" (and therefore a circuit with microchips) have a much higher parasitic drain than those with just a simple on/off switch. Can't tell you how many times I've reached for one of my other lights and it's dead. This one is super reliable, I now have 3 of them.
