Best spot lights to use

1 - Stanley SL10LEDS Handheld Spotlight

The SL10LEDS from Stanley is one of the less sophisticated spotlights on this list. Most of the other spotlights have a lot of features, but this one is about a 4-trick pony.

The beam only comes with 2 strength settings, high and low. The LED lights are the brightest on this list, but they’d get the job done around the house or other indoor settings. It does come with a red light filter attachment if you want to take it out in the woods.

The battery is advertised to last up to 7 hours, but that’s on low. The highest setting will run down the entire battery in less than an hour. You definitely need to be more conservative using the power on this light. The good news is that you can easily recharge it. The spotlight also has a USB socket for you to charge your phone or other accessories.

The warranty is only for 1 year and is limited, so any manufacturing problems will be covered, but not damage caused by your use.

Stanley added rubber around the lens bezel to help protect it from shock damage if accidentally dropped.

2 - Fenix LR40R Search Light (Super Bright and Compact)

The Fenix LR40R is more of a form factor than most of our other recommendations but make no mistake, this thing is tiny but mighty and a lot of people really like the flashlight shape with floodlight capabilities. These things can easily fit in a glove box or center console whereas you might not have space for something with a big T shaped light and handle.

Okay, I know, nearly three hundred bucks for a tiny flashlight doesn’t seem worth it, but it is when you get 12000 real lumens and over 2000 feet of potential beaming power. These things are highly powerful and highly versatile making them one of my favorite handheld lighting solutions I’ve gotten to review.
The construction of this flashlight/spotlight is absolutely phenomenal. Where most spotlights consist of some type of plastic that may not hold up to much abuse with flimsy feeling rubber buttons, you get an oxidation-resistant aircraft-grade aluminum body with stainless steel switches on the Fenix. A lot of people buck the extra buck for a version of their favorite spotlight with water resistance features but with the Fenix, they all come with a standard IPX68 rating, meaning they’re good to submerge in up to 2 meters of water.
