Spot light recommendations

[Fish Head]

I'm looking for a new hand held spotlight for my boat. Something that is really bright and will cut through the dark. Any recommendations?

Interstate has a couple ones that will fit the bill nicely. The smaller one is bright enough for most nights but the bigger one will shine brighter than a guy would ever need I think. If its going to be hand held I would check out the smaller one. If you wont be holding it a long time get the big one and you will never doubt it.

I have a handheld rechargeable one about 1 Million candle power... keep it in the back of the suburban plugged and throw it in the boat to go out. if we go for the weekend I bring the charger along in the boat and plug it in again. It is nice to not have the cord when using it. IMO.

A buddy of mine had one of these this weekend and using only 4 AA batteries I was shocked how bright that sucker was! Agreed with Northlander for sure. I am going to look at the local Interstate store to see if I can grab one. I am not as lucky as my buddy since he got his FREE.

I've got a Black and Decker LED spotlight that uses 4 AA batteries and I'm really impressed with how much light it puts out and how long the batteries last for a $20 light. It's not the most powerful light on the market compared to the more expensive lights, but it's very small and light weight (I carry it around my neck) and puts out way more light than I expected it to. I wanted one that I could change batteries on without worrying if it ever ran out of charge while away from a charging source. I've only had it for a couple months now, but for 20 bucks, I'd recommend it.

I have a black n decker ion hand held rechargeable spotlight and love the thing. It holds a charge forever has a dimmer switch and locking switch and is small enough to keep in the center council of the truck and is always ready to take in the boat

Be careful where you store these spot lights. If they get turned on by accident they can burn things and maybe even start a fire. I luckily caught this in my truck before it burned my Striker bibs. Go LED if you can.

more of a reason to have a locking switch!! lock it off

I have an older Brinkmann Q-Beam Black Max. Has a sealed beam bulb. Throws a pretty good blaze of light. Don't know if such a thing is still made.
