Hi Folks! I work in a hard rock underground mine in Tennessee, and I'm looking for a flashlight for underground tours/inspections. It needs to be :
- bright, preferably LED. Most of the time I'll be working in absolute darkness, half a mile underground.
- neutral/white color, so I can see the geology correctly
- tough/waterproof, for when I inevitably drop it or bang it into things
- wide spread and/or adjustable; I need to inspect and view large openings underground, taking in as much as possible at once
- Charging via USB-C, like everything else I've got
- Some sorta holster/clip/beltloop thing, so I can carry it around on my belt or vest all day during a tour
Quality gear pays for itself, so I'm not overly concerned about the cost. I'm just not familiar with the different brands available, and the differences between quality manufacturers and cheap amazon knockoffs. I appreciate any advice!
Bonus points if someone can recommend me a caplamp that charges via USB-C and uses a MSA hardhat mounting system!
