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

I live in a VERY corrosive environment with moisture, sea are, salt, etc. EVERY flashlight has corroded and/or the batteries have corroded in under a year leading failures or battery leakage due to battery failure. This is the FIRST flashlight I have had that does not fail. Most people buy these flashlights because they are safe from starting a fire or explosion. I bought it so it does not fail due to corrosion and wear and tear. Now the details I love:1. Perfect size, uses three AA's excellent for hand grip (grip is very very good) and the balance in the hand is pefect. MADE IN USA....really excellent, great quality.2. Two perfectly placed light sources. The main front beam which can turn on with a click of one of the bottoms OR you can gently press it for instant on/off cycling by not clicking it all the way through. The other light faces down to the ground and has a very diffused beam with no bright or dim spots.....like a big perfect circle on the ground and it just overlaps the main (and very intense) column beam.3. Bright yellow easy to find in dim light.4. Excellent clip if need to put on cloths.5. *** Has not failed in any way since using, no corrosion - My biggest win for my location. I can count on this working. My buttons all failed gradually on the other flashlights. Sometime they would work, sometimes they would not. I had to open them up, sand and scrape contacts of the battery touch points, etc. This one is certified as sealed, hence inherently safe stamp.6. Again the light quality is just excellent, beam is not to thin or too spread on the main....no need for adjustment - I feel it is the perfect size and the separate LED facing the floor is super wide, think very broad flood light as I said before. Love this dual design. Mostly use the main beam, but when unsure of footing I kick in the wide spread out beam.7. I liked this so much I bought several. Getting more now that I tested it. One on bedside table, one in main office, one in car, one in utility room.In closing, this is just such a well built and thought out light. Thank you to the manufacturer....you must have really tested and improved this. PLEASE keep building in the USA, I can tell the quality is outstanding in just a few seconds of use vs. chinese made lights I have owned (many)...all of which failed in a multitude of ways.Do not hesitate to buy this or buy several and thank you to Amazon for making this a Prime item.

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.

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
