Title: Good, bright 12v rechargeble flashlight?
Post by: kenzmad on April 05, 2017, 10:45:43 PM: Bought a new truck, looking to mount a flashlight that is charges all the time. Super bright is needed. Old maglight is going with the old rig. Any ideas? Direct beam is preferred for a blinding light for dealing with unsavory people if needed.

Batteries seem to last quit a while. I have had mine for 6 years now and never had a problem. I has a high medium and low as well as a strobe function.

My techs all have Stingers and beat the crap out of them day in and day out. Not sure there's a 12v rechargeable version but they're rechargeable.

The chargers for my Stingers have two cords, one for the wall and one for a lighter socket.
