The Fenix PD36R is our pick for the best flashlight thanks to its strong performance, durability, and convenience. It has a rugged design made of anodized aluminum for extra durability, and it boasts a 5000mAh battery that is rechargeable. Just a single charge gives more than 115 hours of use. When it comes time to charge, a type-C USB charger is included that charges the flashlight at double the speed of a normal charger. 

This flashlight incorporates LED lighting that delivers up to 1600 lumens, illuminating the way up to 309 yards away. It is a good amount, making it a proper everyday carry (EDC) flashlight. Enjoy two premium modes: turbo mode and a strobe function with intelligent mode memory. It even includes a two-way body clip that you can attach to your bag, purse, backpack, or belt for easy access.
