Default Best spotlight ???

My ol' 400,000 cp Q-Beam has been rebuilt for the last time and I am looking for a replacement... We stopped at BPS today and all I could find were the rechargeable units, which I was skeptical about... The cordless LED lights looked nice, but I would like something that will run off of 12v DC...

Any recommendations would be appreciated....

Thanks,
Hydro

Brinkman makes a good corded 1 mill triggerpull style light. I have one going on 8 yrs old. Its been to hell and back submerged in saltwater 3 times It can be used intermitently, or continously. I bought 2 more last summer just incase mine craps out. throws a good long beam also.

The hard hat sealed beam lights are hard to beat. Still leave both hands free. I'm pretty Tiger Island Hardware in Morgan City and Songy's in Houma has them for sale.

Thanks for the comments guys, sounds like I need to hit Wallyworld and Academy... I sure would have figured that BPS would have had more to offer, but obviously didnt...

Thanks again,
Hydro

My son ran over the cord on my Qbeam on the 4 wheeler awhile back & went last week to BPS to get another & they came back with a rechargeable......we used it this past w/e & it lasted about 45 min, Junk, well maybe not if you need it for anything less than 45 min.
