Anyone know of a simple on / off led flashlight that's USB rechargable? My mom is asking for one for Christmas this year and is tired of the 3 and 5 mode ones she has (high, med, low, red, strobe). She wants a simple on and off LED flashlight only.

Any recommendations?

Streamlight.

But size is very important to know

I just got a Nebo Slim+ as a gift and really like it. It is rechargeable and it can also be used as a battery bank to recharge your phone if needed.

Edit to add: I have had this a little over a week, so take that into consideration. But so far, really like the size and function.

Small to medium sized.

I started going through the rechargables on their site (didn’t finish) but the few I got through all had multiple modes. Like high, low, strobe, etc.

I’ll keep going through them as I’ve been a fan of the couple of streamlights I have.

I carry one of these in my pocket at all times. I do not buy the USB models….

They make a stylus with a bigger LED than this one.

I have no problem mailing you mine to try and you can just mail it back.

I have the USB Streamlight as well. It works great. It is the only ON/OFF USB light I have, though I have several and most are annoying with all their modes. Plus, with the tail cap switch, the Streamlight works as a tactical light as well.

They can be programmed for just 1 mode.

I’ve got one of those on my pack, stays there. Not sure how old she is but it’s small.

At home, I’ve got a few of these scattered around the house:

It stays brighter longer but does require a battery swap.

I appreciate that, but I may just order this one and the one Duckhunter mentioned and give her both.

Greatly appreciate yalls input.

I am a Streamlight guy myself, but I have several Coast lights, they are hard to beat dollar for dollar and their customer service may be the best I have ever dealt with!
