I have gone from a 3 d-cell mag, to a rechargable mag, to a stinger over the last 20 years. I now own a 3AAA cell LED headlamp that cost less (made in China) than any previous torch but is just as bright. If you need a hand held rechargable and want to see the upper rudder static wick of a widebody in HD, the Streamlight Stinger LED is a winner.
