Angler’s insight:

Look under the HybridLight Journey 250’s hood and you’ll find an impressive engine designed for top performance over the long haul. A 4400 mAh lithium-ion battery built to provide 18 hours of light on a full charge, also stores power for up to seven years without being recharged. This means a dependable light that’ll illuminate everything from the inner reaches of your predawn tackle bag to the campground when you have to get up at 2 a.m. to see what that noise was outside the bedroom window.
