Hey guys... didn't know the world of flashlights was so complicated but have some questions for you guys.
I'm visiting my family in India after many years and every time they've asked me to bring a good quality, rechargeable flashlight (or torch as they put it).
We're farmers in India so the main use will be to go out at night to check the fields as well as during rainstorms (monsoons) to make sure the rice paddies haven't flooded, etc.
I've been looking at the Pelican 7060, Streamlight Stinger/Strion HP and would like to stay in that price range.
Requirements are:
1) Rugged (doesn't need to go 10m underwater, but if dropped in shallow water and / or exposed to monsoon type rain, should be able to come out unscathed)
2) Bright with a good "throw" (preferably 100-200 yards (or is that asking too much?)
3) Rechargeable, with decent battery life (looks like 2 hours at around 185 lumens is average)
4) Preferably LED (unless you guys recommend otherwise).
Thanks in advance!
