Streamlight 68780 Dualie 3AA 245-Lumen Magnetic Intrinsically Safe Industrial Flashlight with Spot/Flood Without Batteries, Yellow

Two lights in one. Can be lighted simultaneously or separately. Durable. Highly visible color. Fits in your hand nicely or clip it on a belt or backpack strap.

In a world of flashlights that require memorizing click patterns to change modes, the simplicity of this light stands out. One button turns the forward facing light on and off. A second button turns the down facing flood light on and off. If you’re looking for a simple and bright flashlight, this is it.

Affordable and good for multiple tasks

I like this for inspecting ships. It works underwater. The magnets allow attaching it to overhead steel stiffeners and bulkheads. The clip is easy to use one-handed. It can be clipped to coveralls where the flood light points ahead for general area lighting to see ladders.I also use it to load and unload my car by attaching it to the underside of the rear hatch using the magnet on the clip. The floodlight really helps, and it has survived being slammed twice.Update: I lost the first one by leaving it behind in a crawlspace. Bought a second.

First thing I did was nearly blind myself with this light.Yes, I turned on the side light first and was staring straight at it.This side light has earned my love back after that because it illuminates what’s right in front of you so well. No more banging my leg on the side of my reading chair in the middle of the night as stumble to the bathroom.Outside, the forward beam is great and the perfect flashlight.You press the button it’s on. It does what a flashlight is supposed to do. No more fussing with features that prevent you from accomplishing the simple task of illuminating what’s right in front of you.This is all plastic but I’ve grown to love that. It isn’t the heaviest thickest plastic but this light is rugged enough.The only drawback is accidentally pressing the side light instead of the forward beam. The buttons are identical and I always use caution when turning the light on. I don’t want to blind myself.A solution would either be moving the button, or better yet, installing a nice sliding cover/window, that firmly locks, over the side light so you don’t blast yourself in the face. Therefore, you can easily tell you’ve hit the wrong button because the forward beam hasn’t turned on. It could be a fun DIY project too.

Its all plastic and i havent dropped it yet, but the design is good with the clip. I love the light on the bottom to illuminate where you are walking. Great flashlight, could be cheaper on the price tag though.

I work on elevators in the dark all day so it pays to have a good flashlight that you can put set down somewhere and not have it drop to its death. It excels in the ability to be clipped or hung or stick and stay where you put it and it has 2 lights at 90° to each other to allow you to light up more area or look ahead and see the objects at your feet as you walk.It's not the brightest but, it does the job! And to be honest you don't want a really bright flashlight to work by it actually makes it harder to see. You aren't shooting down aircraft with this flashlight but you can work by with it for hours at a time if you need to.

Bought this to replace a streamlight 3AA non dualie (which still works great for over a year of intense water, high temps, general beatings) on my firefighter helmet. This didn't work out due to the type of mount I have on it. The ground light would have been facing out to the side. Non the less, this light has become my new backpack light. It goes with me everywhere. Works great as a work light if you clip it on something with the handy intergrated clip or stand it up on its end. I am very happy with both my streamlight products and will be buying more as gifts.
