Hi PreacherMan,<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Anyway, I would appreciate any advice and/or info. on some good dependable and longlasting flashlights.<p><hr></blockquote><p>You might want to try http://www.equipped.org/devices27.htm as an excellent starting place. On this page, Doug is primarily talking about smaller flashlights for kits, and not about larger ones like the MagLights, but he does also say good things about Rayovac Industrials (specifically with a Krypton bulb), which should come in larger sizes too.<br><br>Also, completely depending on whether your definition of "long lasting" includes "long storing", you might want to look at certain specialty items like:<br>Code Red "Twist Top" batteries<br>Innovative Technologies' "NightStar" LED flashlight<br>Forever Light "Water Activated Emergency Flashlight"
