Swivel head LED flashlight

[Jeffrey S.]

I am looking for recommendations for a GOOD (meaning not $3 HF piece) LED swivel headlight flashlight. Any suggestions out there? I expect to pay way more for a good one that really throws some light so that when the cars are on the lift I don't have to balance a portable light somewhere so I can see with these 73 year old eyes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is your (Black Friday) $19 Harbor Freight light. Strong magnet on base - rechargeable. I like it.
Works well, use it around my shop - even take it judging. Lots of light - good value.

I like the Dewalt 20 volt flash lights. they have three different ones. all work well and very handy. it also helps I have a few other Dewalt tools and uses all the same batteries

Jeff,

Check the Big Box Stores. Lowe's and Home Depot have 300~400 lumen from $10 bucks up.

Suspect they're all made at the same factory.

Costco has a 500 lumen LED, 3 piece package for about $15. Picked one up for Xmas present but haven't opened it.

Dave,
Thanks for the response. I actually am looking for one that you wear on your head. I do have 2 of these but sometimes it is difficult to get the light in a tight space. I actually attached strong magnets to each so it will attache to the lift itself and can be adjusted to aim light.

Here is what I use for camping, I suspect it would work well for a garage too

You can always duct tape the floor mounted one to your head. Just kidding somewhat Lowes has a good assortment. I would wait until tomorrow to go anywhere however. Too much traffic on Black Friday

Re: Swivel head LED flashlight

Again, thanks for the suggestions. Here's the one I like so far:

I am VERY skeptical that it could have 12,000 lumins but even if it 1200 it's the brightest I've seen. Thanks again all.

Jeff,

FYI - I have a 5,000 lumen portable light and it gets hot as heck.
