Rechargeable or Disposable Battery Flashlights - Which One is Better? 
There's a lot of different flashlight to choose from.  So which one is the best for you?  Making
the correct decision will save you money in the long run. 
 
First, determine the purpose of the light. Will you be using it in situations for up close work or
far away lighting?  This will determine the brightness needed.
 
Jobs that require lighting to see small objects up close can utilize a lower candlepower light.
These lights are smaller and easy to work with.  Usually, they take a small battery.  Common
lights in this category would include pen lights, head lights, and any other aaa or aa light. 
 
Features for specific applications can include waterproof, hazard rated, or special features
like a clip for pocket storage or strap for helmet or head.
 
Once you've decided on a small or more powerful light, you'll need to decided on a rechargeable
or disposable battery flashlight.  Rechargeable flashlights have a higher intial cost but can save
money in the long run.  Rechargeable lights are much brighter than the alkaline battery models. 
You won't have to worry about buying new batteries every few days.  Alkaline batteries do have
an excellent storage life.  However, if your using your light every day the expense of replacement
batteries will exceed the cost of a rechargeable flashlight in a short amound of time.  If you use your flashlight every day, in most cases you should buy a rechargeable light.  It will save you money in the long run and give you a brighter flashlight.
