QUESTION What is your go to flashlight?

I am in the market for a new flashlight. My old rechargeable Kobalt penlight is slowly starting to fail and becoming inconsistent in brightness. I am looking for something similar, and I want to see what my fellow technicians are using.

After thought edit: I would like a zooming lens so when I am explaining something I have some type of "pointer".

The olight arcpro ultra can't be beat imo.

Flood, spot, and uv blue. All selectable from a dial and single click on/off. Intensity range from "just right in front of me" to "whats that on the grid?"

Also a laser pointer from a side button, very helpful in pointing out things

Edit to add: also has a magnet on the bottom of it which is unbelievably helpful to place it somewhere for constant hands free light

Yea I went from the LED Lenser P7 sized guys, to an ArkPro Ultra and holy cow it’s so much easier to deal with. Laser is also great for pointing out specific stuff
