Mini-mag. I don't waste money on flashlights or headsets. Cheap is good. Spend your money on something important like beer.

I use a streamlight stinger. Been very happy with it. Lifetime warrantee for everything but bulbs and batteries.


For what it's worth they are also certified for use in high flammability / hazmat environments.

I keep a Streamlight Stylus in my shirt pocket. It's the handiest light I've ever owned.

Amazon has a good price on them.
