    On a previous post there was mention of a Streamlight on Amazon prime day and I bought one. Not as cheap now but very happy with it. Different colors determine whether first button push makes light bright or not so bright. Pick what you like.

    I carry this flashlight as my EDC and while on patrol.
    Fenix PD36R
    Bright (adjustable levels), good battery life and USB rechargeable.
    A little pricey, but excellent quality.

    thanks for all the suggestions guys. I ordered this one a couple of days ago from Midway USA...... Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA Flashlight Coyote..... It should be here Wednesday. And then, I go to the new Bass Pro Shop in Grand Prairie, TX today and found it in person for only $3 more. Bummer! Oh well, here's hoping it is a good one.

    A first report on the Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA, It came yesterday and it arrived in perfect condition. Midway boxed it very well. It has 3 modes, high, strobe, and low. One click for high, two for strobe, and three for low. I didn't like that so did the 10 tap reprogram and now it is a high only. I do not have to cycle through any other modes. I absolutely love it. It takes 1 CR-123 battery and gets 350 lumens. In a pinch, it can also take 1 AA battery, but only gets 150 lumens with that. I got a pack of 12 CR-123 batteries from Amazon for not much $$. I should be good with this flashlight for quite a while. It came with a belt sheath, not sure why though. I may try it and see if I like carrying it that way instead of clipped to my pocket. The clip is a 2 way job so I can clip it to my cap as a headlamp if needed. All in all, thus far it is an excellent purchase. $41 at Midway. $44 at Bass Pro. I used it tonight while walking the dog, it is all I need.

    I’ve used one of these for years. You can even use a AAA in it if needed; not very bright but some is better than none.
