Good area lighting - Streamlight Stylus Pro 360 Penlight/Lantern Combo Flashlight

I specifically bought this light to be compact and light up a broad area. It is both. Not my smallest 2 aaa light but that is because the beam end slides up to let out light in a 360 degree radius. I tested it in my kitchen with the lights out and I would be able to prepare a meal that way. It has a rubber end that supports the light well and between the 360 degree light and the upward light reflecting off the ceiling it does a good job. The entire kitchen is lit enough to work. It is not real bright but it is enough and by far better than candles for more reasons than just the brightness.
