Streamlight 90510 Survivor 175-Lumen Rechargeable Safety-Rated Firefighter Right Angle Flashlight Without Charger, Yellow

Highly recommend this search light for fire fighters and first responders. Lightweight and well build. The color lens insert works well for focusing the light beam in smoke conditions. Good light strength for search and rescue operations. The on / off switch is big enough to use with fire gloves. The light also holds up well in wet conditions.

So once upon a time I was sitting around reminicing about my old school army flashlight I had as a kid, and I wondered if anyone still made L neck flashlights like that, except with modern LED technology like my Maglite had. After much searching, I found this.This light is no joke. By long and far the greatest flashlight I've ever owned. Puts that dinky little GI flashlight to shameFirst off, it is BRIGHT, way brighter than my Maglite ever was. And not only that, because of the depth of the parabolic reflector inside, the beam goes SUPER far, and cuts through just about anything, heavy rain, snow, smoke, whatever, it just goes.It's also nice to just be able to clip it to my jacket and forget about it. That nice big button has an amazing feel, so I never even have to look at the light to find it, I can just hit it like second nature. It has a good sturdy feel to it as well, like it's not gonna pop off like other lights I haveThe construction as a whole is rock solid. You can tell this thing can take a beating, even though it's made of plastic. I toss this thing around because I know it can take it. And it works in any weather like I mentioned before, it is AMAZING in snow in particular. I loved going out on adventures at night during all the snow we got up here in the northeast this year with this thing. It was like day time practically.A feature I love in particular is the fact that it uses double A batteries. First off, I've owned this thing for 6 months now, and have yet to need to change the batteries (though it looks like it might need them soon). Second, unlike my Maglite, which needed D cells, which always seemed to get weak right around the time a hurricane or blizzard is coming and everyone is running around buying up all the D cells. But no one ever buys the AAs in those situations, and you get more for cheaper than the D cells, so thats where I think this thing really pays for itself. Sure it's pricy, but in the long run it'll save you in batteriesAnother feature I love is Moonlight mode, so I can use this thing inside instead of blinding myself at full power trying to peak into a dark corner of the house where we need a little more light or something. That is probably why the battery lasts so long, having multiple power modes like this, which is really just a convience you never knew you needed.I think I knew I made the right decision when one of my buddies who's a firefighter saw my new light and was like "We have those on our truck, they are amazing, where did you get one!?" At first I felt a little bad spending this much money on something like this, but with all that stuff combined, now I don't regret it one bit. I haven't touched that maglite since I got this thing. It is the ultimate flashlight, and the last one you'll ever need.

These lights allow hands free illumination when clipped on your bunker gear which is quite invaluable to a firefighter. The light is well made and can take quite a beating. The beam penetrates through smoke nicely as it is a tight beam.

Most flashlights I have are good for getting around a room/house - they throw a good amount of light in a fairly broad pattern. Not this flashlight - small spot about the size of a large paper plate at it's brightest. BUT...the flashlight has no problem throwing that beam 50-100 feet easy. If you need to check on things in the dark that are far away - like "did I lock the barn door?" then THIS is the light you want. Not cheap, but super durable.

Very bright and comes with an additional battery pack that you can put batteries in if you need to charge the other rechargeable battery.

If you are looking for a flashlight that can take a beating and keep going, this is the one.Waterproof, very straight bright light. The beam does not expand in diameter as it is moved to see distance objects. Little expensive, but you will never wear this one out. (LED makes for a very bright light on high setting.) Takes a little while of holding the button to manage to switch it to the lowest (#4) setting.

As a new Firefighter I was looking for a light that didnt break my bank but also was effective at lighting in dark situations. So far I have been using this light for six months. It works great, solid beam of light, the low setting is almost enough for many situations I have found myself in.Construction feels solid, has a good feel to it as well. The clip has a "L" Shape to it at the end which keeps it from bouncing out of my turnouts when I am running or getting snagged and being pulled out.The battery lasts a long time. But I keep spare in the rig just in case.I spent six years in the Army and always used a Surefire light. This is the same brightness and beam intensity of any Surefire light I have used. It cuts through smoke and the beam stays solid for probably 75 yards before washing out and becoming weak.Overall this is a great light. Fits in my turnouts well, battery life is great and construction is solid.
