Nightstick XPP-5422GMX X-Series Intrinsically Safe Dual-Light Flashlight with Dual Magnets, Green/Black

Overall, I liked the design of this flashlight better than the Streamlight version. I liked having the buttons for both lights on the same side. Reduces inadvertent presses of the wrong button.The light quality is very good (not high CRI, though). The main hot spot of the beam is an even white color, and does not show any irregular green-yellow areas (like some competitors). The hot spot is about 10% of the diameter of the larger flood beam (not referring to the separate flood light). The hot spot is roughly 6 feet in diameter at about 50 feet. Ideal for what I wanted.When using the flood light, the tail magnet works well when attaching the flashlight perpendicular to a vertical metal surface. I found it worked very well attached to an electrical panel, HVAC, auto fender or metal bumper. It was also acceptable (just barely) for attaching to a refrigerator/freezer and water heater.I liked the clip. You can attach it one-handed to your pocket, but will probably need two hands to attach or remove from your front shirt collar.About batteries:Instructions say WARNING: In order to maintain the Intrinsically Safe Permissible rating, the only AAbatteries certified for use with this light are the Duracell PC1500, Energizer EN91 orEnergizer L91 batteries. Do not attempt to use any other brand or model of AA batteries with this light. Do not attempt to use any type of rechargeable AA batteries with this light.Energizer L91 are the same as Energizer Ultimate Lithium, which is what I plan to use. Batteries say L91 on them.

I order these 2 at a time because coworkers always want to buy mine. I work on ships, so my tools are constantly exposed to temps over 100F, salt spray, high humidity environments and drops and falls. I dropped one down an elevator shaft where I couldn't get to it for 2 days (the magnet stuck to the wall on the way down), and when I retrived it, it was still on and burning brightly.These lights are significantly lighter than similar intrinsically safe lights and hold up better than any other I've tried. The only reason I've had to replace them is because I've damaged the lens (usually due to welding slag melting spots into them), every one has lasted me over 8 months without any issues.The plastic case is impressively durable, one having survived a 50ft drop onto a metal deck with only a chipped edge, the reason for 4 durability starts is because I can't give it 4.5, and the pocket clip has broken on me, granted after dozens if not hundreds of times putting it over things much thicker than a belt (electrical wires, hoses, tubing, ect.).The best part of these is the dual magnets, I have had very few situations where, between the 2 magnets and floodlight, where my coworkers and I haven't been able position the light to keep our hands free.Except for the clip, which is still impressively durable, I cannot say enough good things about this light

Bought Pelican brand for many years. Decided to try for the price. The main lamp and side a nice and bright and 2 magnets to mount in various positions were the selling point for me. Pelican has some catching up to do.

So far works well enough. Was trying for a helmet light but it is very big and bulky. Also needs a mount. But it's very bright!

It’s versatile, bright, and handy

A great flashlight. It has a tough, high visibility body, 2 handy light sources with individual switches, strong magnets, a lanyard and and 3 AA batteries last a lot longer than 3 AAA batteries, as some others use. I use it in a recording studio setting. I leave it attached to a mic stand where the yellow case stands out. People use it constantly for tracking cables, reading patch panels and labels, illuminated equipment case interiors and other dark, out-of-the-way places. It has even been used to light a script for voice over recordings. The magnetic base is handy for placing it just where you want it, on stands, drum gear or racks. Roadie proof.

This is a great flashlight. I gifted one for my uncle for Xmas.

Favorite flashlight, two beams. Intrinsically safe
