I have had this flashlight with me for over 3 years, both at work on my submarine (nuke mechanic) and outside work. I love this flashlight light so much I bought a spare after my first deployment, then another spare after my 4th when I saw they where discontinued. I got that 3rd one for 90 bucks on ebay. Still have it in package but still just bought 2 more with this drop... I'm a very critical person and this flashlight is all I ever will want.
glennacI can only speak for myself, and I was deployed both on carriers (MARDET) and 🇮🇶 / 🇦🇫 And we normally carried external power packs (rablower/goalzero) and charged them when we could. My last deployment a had a small, foldable solar panel... would really charge the packs, but would charge phones, lights, etc...
