My go to lights for house and car have been the Streamlight PolyTac line for quite some time. I have many iterations, over many generations, but generally my two lights of choice from their current offerings are the POLYTAC® FLASHLIGHT and the Streamlight PolyTac HP, however all of the ones I have appear to pre-date the "all the lumens" hysteria and also the "ten-tap" silliness. Mine are all two-stage at best, and nowhere near 600 lumens max. I think this is the version of the HP that I have the most of, and it's equivalent smaller-headed version. This HP topped out at 275 lumens. I really like the HP versions at the house because the beams shine so goddamn far.
All of that to say, I'm tired of dealing with the expense of the CR123 batteries.
I'm considering just sticking kind of with what I know and switching out to the Streamlight PolyTac X Series 600 Lumen "Dual Fuel" Tactical Flashlight, but it still seems like overkill to me, and it seems to require removing the battery to charge it, which isn't really ideal IMO. side note, can these batteries just drop in to any 2-cell CR123 LED light? Might be an option to just buy the batteries...
other options, staying with Streamlight, would be something like the Dualie Rechargeable at ~$75/ea with charger that maxes out at 245 lumens but seems more complicated than I'd like with the two modes. I also love the Polystinger, but at ~$150/ea with charger and ~$100/ea without charger I don't know that I want them disapearing into the yard with the kids as things like to do these days.
I guess, rambling aside (TLDR?), I'm looking for a rechargeable, ~250-300 lumen, preferably two-mode, LED light that's got two basic modes. Yellow or other hi-viz and polymer body preferred.
