flashlight
A flashlight (more often called a torch outside North America) is a portable hand-held electric light. Usually, the source of the light is a small incandescent light bulb or light-emitting diode (LED). A typical flashlight consists of a light bulb mounted in a reflector, a transparent cover (sometimes combined with a lens) to protect the light source and reflector, a battery, and a switch. These are supported and protected by a case.
The invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric light bulbs made the first battery-powered flashlights possible around 1899. Today flashlights use mostly incandescent lamps or light-emitting diodes and run on disposable or rechargeable batteries. Some are powered by the user turning a crank or shaking the lamp, and some have solar panels to recharge a battery.
In addition to the general-purpose hand-held flashlight, many forms have been adapted for special uses. Head or helmet-mounted flashlights designed for miners and campers leave the hands free. Some flashlights can be used underwater or in flammable atmospheres.

Thanks to everyone who responded and helped me. I ended up buying the Fenix E20 2015 Edition for $37 at REI. I'm sure this is the beginning of many flashlights for me since I am finding them strangely addictive. I would like to try an Olight M18 Maverick next.
I would like to use lithium AA...
I've been wanting to get a quality, reliable flashlight to keep in my wife's car in case of emergencies. She has a tiny, keychain flashlight but I would like a more powerful one in case of a flat tire etc.
And thanks to all of your great recommendations from my prior postings (thank you...
I'm realizing the need and value of a reliable, quality flashlight. As I'm newer to guns, I know virtually nothing about flashlights. And so I'd love to hear what others here in this forum think. Here's my preferences:
Under $40.
Around 200 lumens although 300 would be great too.
Small enough...
