Has to be fairly bright.

Has to be durable enough I can drop it multiple times and it continues to work.

Must be LED. Would like rechargeable IF the batteries will stay charged long enough to finish a job!!!

I am DONE with Coast. Yes, they have honored the lifetime guarantee, but I don't have time to keep getting new ones. They flicker, work sometimes, don't others, and it is REALLY frustrating when one just quits in the middle of a job. Set it down for a few minutes and starts working again. Pretty sure they won't warranty the one I just threw against the wall over the weekend out of frustration. POS.

Have a couple of Tasco that have held up fairly well, but seems the batteries just don't last long.
