Score: 88/100Rankings
The Streamlight 45882 E-Spot FireBox is a high-performance rechargeable LED lantern delivering 1500 lumens with an intense spot beam reaching 663 meters. Its standout feature is the integrated blue taillights for hazard visibility, making it ideal for emergency teams. While the weight is a trade-off for handheld use, its durability and brightness make it a top choice for firefighters. It is best suited for search/rescue and industrial applications requiring long-range visibility.
The Coast EAL22 is a full-size emergency area lantern designed for portable and versatile lighting, delivering up to 1,250 lumens across five output modes including warm and cool white options. Its main trade-off is the brief high-mode runtime and the potential need to purchase a rechargeable battery separately for optimal convenience. It is best suited for emergency preparedness, professional inspection work, and search and rescue operations.
