LEDs are definitely the future of flashlights. Personally, I love the fact that they are super bright, durable, and depending on the flashlight, capable of temporarily blinding someone who is attacking you. I definitely like this new Energizer Hardcase Tactical light, it’s built to last and has some extremely cool features.
The new Hardcase Tactical is actually Energizer’s 2nd generation of this light, and the redesign has really made it a more practical device. They made the case a bit smaller, added a rotating head, and made the base a little larger and flatter so it can stand up on it’s own. One of the coolest features is that if you find yourself short on batteries – you can put just one in and the light will still work. Available soon for a suggested retail of $125, it’s a bit expensive but keep in mind you get a 70 lumens white LED, and green, red, blue, and IR LED’s as well. Admittedly these multiple functions aren’t needed by everyone, but they are fun to use.
