I do other safety work and need an explosion proof flashlight.

Explosion Proof, Waterproof Flashlight

This waterproof flashlight features a special “circuit breaker” spring assembly which instantly disconnects the bulb from the battery in the event of a broken bulb. U.L. and MSHA Class I Group C & D, Class II Group G and Class III approved and meets all U.S. Government specifications for use in hazardous areas of atmosphere containing grain dust, flour, starch, combustible plastics, hazardous vapors and gases. Note: This flashlight is for use in the following explosive atmospheres only: gasoline, petroleum, naphtha, alcohol, acetone, lacquer, solvent vapors, and natural gas. Light operates on two D cell alkaline batteries (not included).

I did a comparison of the Maglite rechargable, Surefire G2, Stinger and UltraStinger. Winner was the UltraStinger with the Maglite a close second. Brightness was about the same but the Ultrastinger was significantly lighter. The Maglite doubles as a club which is why most cops carry then. Forget about any of the LED lights they just don't work for what we do. Shake lights?? Great for the trunk but doesn't work for inspecting.

Has anyone tried the INOVA T4 tactical flashlight
I currently use the Stinger by Steamlight and very happy but want to try something else

I just like to be on the bright side

being a volunteer firefighter i love having my streamlight it is very light extremely bright and just holds up really well. It has gone with me into many fires and now through a couple of inspections. I also like the pelican brand of flashlight they are also very tough lights.

My Ultra-Stinger is great. Lasts a full inspection. I never have a reason on just 1 inspection of under 4,000 sf to run out of lite.

However, sometimes you get in the normal brawl with an agent or seller and the Mag-Lite works a lot better as a club to subdue them with.
