Flashlight to put in the cab

Looking for a Quality led flashlight with decent lumens to replace the old 3 battery mag light that is kinda of dated and that ive had in the old truck.
Thinking of something that maybe could charge by usb in the truck.
Local store carries Nebo branded ones, but dont know much about them in relation to others.
Whats everyone been happy with and suggesting.

I carry an LED Lenser. Cant remember the model number off the top of my head. It is a BEAST for a small double A L.E.D. flashlight.

Streamlight. Stinger is my go to, Strion is a smaller size with same LED. Both are rechargeable with piggyback charger options if you want a backup battery.

I keep a 2D LED Maglite in the driver's door pocket & a 2AA LED Maglite in the center console of my personal truck. The trucks at work have Streamlights in them. Awesome lights. I'd love to have the same in my personal ride, but they're so darned expensive.

CREE XP-L LED 1000 Lumens $35.99 on Amazon. I have 6 of them all together. at work. Home. And I set my 92 year old parents up with several at their house. Just big enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Solid feel. Very bright with several brightness settings. Can be USB charged. You charge through a port on the body of the light so you dont need to pull the battery out to charge it like some older LED, Lith. Ion lights. Perfect for in the truck.

Streamlight stinger here also. Not the cheapest but fantastic. Great charging system also. I intend to bolt my car charger to the side of my center console when I get around to it!

Can't believe no one said it yet, look at sure fire. No one makes a better light than them. Steam light makes a good light to and will be more budget friendly.
