    Best Hand Held Search Light

    I was reading the search light thread and it reminded me that I need a handheld. Actually two one for the boat one for the tender, suggestions?

    I've just been using a Ryobi Spotlight since I have the 18v batteries aboard anyway for other tools. It works as well as my old Q-beam.

    I'm with Sky on the Ryobi light, I have the older Xenon version. I found it on sale and also had the batteries and charger already onboard. The Xenon version is very bright, I imagine the LED version must be even better.

    I’m all about 20v Dewalts this has red also that will light up a marker at a couple hundred feet. I keep an extra battery with it.
