Since hurricanes Harvey hit Texas 2 weeks ago, and Irma hit Florida last weekend, it’s time to evaluate the best and brightest engraved flashlights for hurricane survival. The winner, hands down, is the “Intense Triple Output LED flashlight, CREE® XM-L2-U2, model FL142” by Starline. It has 5 functions, that you activate by pushing in the button just part way, each time. They are
- High
- Medium
- Low
- Strobe
- SOS
On the High beam you get 1050 Lumens of brightness. The beam is focus-able by turning the head. The 9 AA batteries are the secret of the brightness, and of course the advanced circuitry. The customer’s corporate logo is laser engraved on the anodized aluminum barrel.
