Non rechargeable. One million minimum with a deep cone.
Mine is an older Coleman and am about to buy another one.

would search this- posed the question myself a couple years back.

Light diameter means a lot.
Green and growing... Or red and rotting

I use a brinkman also that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It could be just a touch brighter tho. My optics help make up for that.

Yeah I made the mistake of buying the rechargeable. Its a great tool for a workout if that's a part of shinning for you. Lol...Wow was that heavy. It went back soon, and just bought the Million Max III standard version. Happy so far!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I was just at my Dad's tonight and he showed me the Brinkman Million III with 1600+ lumens. $38. That ought to be a good light for him don't you think? Pretty sure I'll tell him to pull the trigger on that one.
