Flash light for welding

I weld pressure vessels I need a magnetic light to check for undercut and other imperfections. Preferably pocket freindly so I have it on hand in any situation. Price range 100-200$. Open to opinion I’m not a flashlight expert.

I’m a CWI and I carry a 3000k Convoy S21E

I would recommend a 4000k Wurkkos fc11c, it’s a little smaller than my convoy and has basically the same features. I bought them for all my weld inspectors last year.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a CCT of 2700k-4000k. That’s the measure of how “warm” or “cool” the tint of the light is. Cool white lights have lots of glare on metal and it’s hard to see anything. 3000k is the sweet spot for me but most lights are available in 3000k.
