I'm looking for a small LED flashlight. I'd like to buy several to keep in my tool box, various drawers around the house, in the car, etc. I have several different ones, but they all break-the light fails to work for some reason (yes, I checked the batteries!). The free ones from Harbor Freight are too bulky and the batteries are a PITA to change. I'd like one that will stand up to a little "gentle abuse"-dropping, dirt, moisture, children, etc. I'd like a compact light, that is bright enough to work up close. I don't need a tactical light. I prefer one that has a button to turn on, but the twist-on ones are fine.
I was looking at the AA Maglites, but they are pricey ($24 for a 6" light). I'd like to buy about 5 or 6 lights, but over $100 for flashlights seems a bit much. I'm sure they meet all my requirements, but I thought I'd ask around before buying anything. Anyone use the Defiant brand ones from Home Depot? |

I've bought a few of these for the shop. They're rechargeable through any typical USB charger, so you can keep it topped up in the car. Pushbutton turn on. 5 brightness levels. Rugged enough to survive life in a full time shop.
