Just like most guys I have a love for flashlights and have a ton of random led pocket ones, some are good some are junk. My question isif anyone had any recommendations for one that was rechargable and could have the charger mounted in the jeep for whatever night time activities one may come across.

I bought a spotlight that is rechargeable. If I need something more then that I should probably just set up camp.

5.11 light for life. It charges from dead to full charge in under 2 min and doesn't have batteries. It's a great little light.


Keep your head low and your powder dry.

From some one who spent over $350 in stream light rechargeable flashlight I would go with the replaceable cr123 batteries. While they sure are bright it seems each charge lasts a bit shorter then the previous. The oldest of which is now about 3 years olds. It went from a good hour on the brightest setting to half that amount.

Home Depot has a rechargable LED work light. I have not used one but will upon my return from deployment. It comes with a 12v charger.

I have owned several streamlight stingers (rechargeable) and many, many, mag-lites (rechargeable and regular). So far, my two favorites my 3 cell D LED, and LED mini mag. Both are bright and have killer battery life, and for the price for both in a combo pack($27.99 at homer's depot- non rechargeable), they can't be beat. Some say a D-cell maglite is too heavy, but its weight allows it to serve as another useful tool if ever needed!

I have a Pelican 8050 M11 LED Rechargeable Light. I have had it for three years and haven't noticed any changes to battery life. It comes with a cigaretter lighter adapter and has a mount that could easily be mounted in the jeep.

If money was no object, I would be running the SureFire R1 Lawman. Rechargeable, LED, and 750 Lumens! :eek:

I carry 2 4-dcell mag lights at all times. They have always been fantastic and not a very expensive solution.

I would stick with Surefire LED and 123 batteries.

Both of these are good. I was/am a big Surefire fan, but I just got a AA battery streamlight and it's holding up very well and is 1/2 the price of my LED Surefire.

I do both though. I have a pack of AA and 123 batteries for my Surefire and Streamlight. My Surefire is always in my Jeep. My Streamlight is in my backpack/bailout bag.
