I went through a stage were I literally spent hundreds & hundreds of dollars on various flashlights and led lanterns. Most of them ended of disappointing me on some level.
One of the most impressive products I have ever purchased is The Seige LED Lattern by Streamlight. I have purchased all kinds of industrial grade lanterns and none have come remotely close to this. I have since purchased several as gifts. The tank like build quality/durability and overall versatility has beyond impressed me.
For the money you can't go wrong. Recommended.
