Personally, I love nature and often go camping or fishing with my children, and if we stay overnight we definitely need flashlights. I have tried many flashlights over the years, but the best from my point of view is this https://www.amazon.com/Vont-Flashlig.../dp/B089T8HDBV. I like that not only does it have a very long battery life, but it can also be fixed to something, for example a bicycle or something made of metal. It is comfortable and has a large ray of light. I can recommend it to everyone, maybe it's a little more expensive, but it's worth it.

I have been pretty happy with the longevity of these... for BRIGHT cheapie CREE-castle-style LED 3xAAA-lights.
3 @ $10.99.
You can get a dud, but you have 2 more... AND you have spare parts if you buy 2x 3-packs @ ~$22...
They take 18650's also...Last edited by the86d; 12-29-2020, 5:08 PM.Comment

Ive been really happy with Nebo. The Redline series is really good. Ive dropped them off of tall walls, a roof, in mud and have never had a failure.Comment

I bought 2 of these at Harbor Freight, $7ea. 3 for 10 is a better deal! I've been using it about 3 months and couldn't be happier. I'd way rather buy a box full of these things at $7 or 3/$10 and if one stops working or gets banged up or I loan it out or want to put in a gift bag, I just forget about it grab another and keep going. I can't imagine a scenario where 1 quality light would be more valuable than a whole boxfull of these.I have been pretty happy with the longevity of these... for BRIGHT cheapie CREE-castle-style LED 3xAAA-lights.

I have too many flashlights but nothing really over the top expensive. I like the olight i5T because it fits in my pocket. For a smaller, compact flash light for camping the smaller Anker flashlights are a great value. Bright, small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, and the battery lasts a long time. I don't see the model I bought on Amazon but they have several of various sizes.
For headlamps, I have a streamlight and Petzl that use a battery pack that is USB rechargeable.Last edited by vmonkey; 01-03-2021, 9:44 PM.Comment

I like the streamligt protac series of lights.
I have been looking at a protac 90x. It takes AA, CR123 or 18650. Output would be dependent on the battery used.
I believe on an 18650 it's at 1000 lumen. They are about $80 depeding on seller. They have a 300 lumen version that only takes AA at $40
But its a 90 degree light. It interests me because it can be mounted on a pack or vest or shirt pocket.
Aside from that i use a surefire g2x single output they have an AA version as well.
I'm sure there are other options as well.Comment

I too have several of these flashlights---cheap to buy, like $15 at Home Depot---good strong beam and lower setting as well---I use with lithium batteries (no leak)---speaking of leaks, Rayovac alkaline batteries often leak! I find Duracell or Energizer batteries much better... This takes two AA batteries and is a bit larger than many of the little mini lights, but STURDY!Comment

Streamlight ProTac 2L-X 500 (lumen) is an excellent flashlight. Takes 2 CR123's or 1 18650. Not sure about a AA? Anyway, for the price it can't be beat, imo. They were on sale a few weeks back for $34 and I bought 3 (2 for me and one for an xmas gift).
Pretty good review ...
