Handheld Spotlight Recommendations

[brewster16]

I like to carry a handheld spotlight on my boat. It's far superior to the mounted bow light. My last handheld was a cigarette lighter plug in and it's now dead. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm looking for serious bright light to pick out those channel markers at night.

I have a couple Fenix brand lights. They are wicked bright. I've had them for several years now, no quality issues.

I don't have one this big but I bet it's a beast:

What brand of cordless power tools to you use. I would suggest sticking with that eco system and buy one of their spots. All the major brands have really bright lights and you already have a boatload of batteries for it.

I have drank the Harbor Freight/Bauer cool aid, all tools work fine and I too have a good number of batteries.
Here’s what I have for a spot.

Wow!
12000 lumens makes my 2500 look like a pen light.

Is this what you have? What are the advantages over some of the others in your opinion?

I have one just like it, but for my Center Console. My spot light on the big boat works great.

It is waterproof, rechargeable, but also has a charge port for a cell or the like. Super bright, 180,000 lumens and only $50. Great for the dinghy and walking Cody etc. Great spot light.
