Streamlight 71500 JR 225-Lumen LED AA Battery-Powered Flashlight, Black, One Size

I work in the steamfitting and welding industry. This lights give me great clear white light when I'm looking for defects and working in the field. Highly Recommend!

軽くて手のひらサイズで良く光ります。 緊急用に鞄に入れてます。 作りもしっかりしているので 壊れる心配がなさそうです。 単三乾電池2本で使えるのも好ポイント。 凄く明るいライトでは無いですが、 よくある一般的なライトより明るく、 小さめで軽いアルミ系のボディを探している ならオススメします。 耐久性はまた壊れた時に追記できたらと思います。

I’ve owned two of these flashlights and have very few complaints. I work as a diesel mechanic so all of my tools take a beating. My first one of these flashlights lasted nearly 5 years before giving any issues. It finally began to have intermittent problems with the button and battery retention spring. I was impressed enough that I purchased a second identical light and immediately put it into service. The light is a handy size, produces excellent light output for its size, is rugged (mine is often used as a small hammer), and simple. The single function, simple on/off switch is a huge selling point for me. I don’t need or want multiple light levels or a strobe. For my work I need the light to come on, and function as expected every time I press the button. Unfortunately this simple design is becoming increasingly difficult to find in quality flashlights. The AA battery power source is extremely convenient and in my usage last roughly 1-2 weeks before becoming too dim to be useful (your mileage may vary). I’ve used both traditional alkaline batteries as well as Energizer Lithium AAs in my light and had zero major issues with either. The lithium batteries provide more consistent light output over a longer period of time. However for me this wasn’t necessarily a positive, as the light would suddenly die giving me no indication that the batteries were nearing the end of their life. The alkaline batteries slowly dim as they draw down giving you a very visible and obvious indicator as to when you should change your batteries. This isn’t an issue with the light however, just a fact of life when using lithium batteries. My only real complaints are with the light’s lens and the nylon holster. If you plan to use the holster go ahead and replace it with a nicer option. In my experience the nylon holsters quickly broke apart and began to shred, eventually falling completely apart (often within the first few months of use). I upgraded to a custom leather holster that has lasted for years now. Next, the lens on the light is plastic. This is a plus when considering impact resistance as you’ll likely never break it. However if you work in the automotive industry be very careful using brake cleaner or carb cleaner to wipe the light down. Both chemicals will immediately cause the lens to fog up. This negatively affects the light’s output and beam pattern. If you’re looking for a daily use work light or EDC light look no further. This flashlight will serve you well for many years.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought this to replace a Mini Maglight. I've used Streamlight products before and always found them to be topnotch and well worth their expense. This is essentially a super-duper penlight, and it met my expectations. Its powerful beam reaches out, important for me because I sometimes find myself operating in woods and very rough country in total darkness, when navigation is challenging and good illumination is critical. The light is also well-built and sturdy, the switch (at the back of the cylinder) is protected from accidental operation, and the light's small and light enough to carry in a pack. I'd buy another of these in a New York minute.

Love this little guy. Its my second one after having dropped my first one, quite a few times on the concrete shop floor. Oops! Use it almost every day at work for inspections. Super bright light, does go through batteries a bit fast tho.
