A few years ago someone on the list recommended the Marinebeam Ultra Long Range CREE RLT Illuminator and I purchased one and was not disappointed. Great powerful beam but pricey at $129.

The smaller light can be carried in your pocket. They are available from Amazon for $22. I am sure the Marinebeam will outlast the cheaper one because it uses much bigger batteries but the small one is much handier. A couple of other things. The US Post Office has a free service that can send you an email every day with scans of your inbound mail. It just shows the outside of the envelope but you can see what is coming. You can sign up at: https://informeddelivery.usps.com Also the electric utilities in Maryland now have the ability to show daily electric use for your boat or home. I use Delmarva Power and BGE and they both can show me how much I use each day. If you are away from either you can check to see if the electric is being used.
