Cordless Rechargeable Flashlight

Conventionally, flashlights were used either with alkaline batteries, which had low and often fluctuating power intensity, or with 10 – 12 feet of power lead cord, which ensured the power but restricted movement! Today, with the cordless rechargeable flashlight with powerful Xenon or halogen lamps, you can move away from a vehicle or power source yet not worry about flickering lights. The cordless flashlights have relatively short battery life of around 25-30 minutes but they recharge quickly and also function well when connected to the power supply of a car. This has made life easier for those in outdoor activities like hunting or camping; as well as extreme condition users like the army, police or rescue operation personnel.

Some of the most user friendly cordless rechargeable flashlight models in the market today are –

SureFire B1R-BK Beast Powerful Rechargeable Flashlight

This one is arguably the best HID/LED Flashlight in the market but at $ 4100+ it is not meant for the average user! Actually intended for uses such as search and rescue, maritime interdiction, border patrol, and other events that call for a portable super-rugged searchlight, this cordless rechargeable flashlight is also suited for a number of outdoor activities.

The flashlight has a 2,000-lumen HID lamp, coupled with an LED array, providing a light equivalent to 130 two D-cell flashlights, and a single rotary power ring switch which operates the HID if rotated clockwise and the LED if rotated anti-clockwise. The fail-resistant flashlight is built from aerospace-grade aluminum with a hard-anodized finish and uses 123A lithium batteries with runtime of 1.5 hours for the HID lamp and 20 hours for the LED array. Despite its name, the flashlight is only 15.5 inches long and weighs just 4.5 pounds — easily manageable with one hand.

Energizer Weather Ready Rechargeable NiMH Flashlight LED

The other end of the spectrum is the Energizer Weather Ready Rechargeable NiMH Flashlight LED, which at about $13, is an ideal cordless rechargeable flashlight for power outages. This flashlight is rechargeable from any home AC outlet and has a light that comes on automatically when the power source shuts down. Its Nichia LED with a focused lens is white and bright and gives a uniform spot.

The Pelican Black Knight Series with their hi-pressure  Xenon lamps, chemical resistant bodies, unbreakable polycarbonate lens, direct wiring, and options of fast or trickle chargers, 110V transformers, 12V adapters, and more are another durable yet high performing range of flashlights.

Streamlight Survivor Lantern - water & shock resistant, with LED lamps, are also much used specially by fire fighters.
