I don't have any fancy flashlights. Mostly Maglites, but very many around the house for emergencies. I have from two D cell to five D cell, I like having the long heavy ones that are like clubs for going outside at night. I have one three C cell if I want something lighter. Most are old bulb type, but a couple are newer LED which I like a lot.
Years ago, I had three Kel-Lites, those were the precursor to Mag-lite. Would you believe there are flash light collectors, the Kel-Lites became very valuable to these people so mine went to some of them.
I've got a few of those little plasticky LED things from Harbor Freight. About the size of a cigarette pack, they have two beam choices, one focused, the other diffuse. I like those for a work light in crawl spaces, etc. Much smaller, cheaper and more maneuverable than the old, heavy 6 volt lantern types ("Big Jim", etc) that I used to use.
On TV recently, I saw some multi-function flashlight advertised. I'm always skeptical of TV ad stuff. But this looked interesting, it even had a sparking fire starter feature. I failed to note the brand name, but if I see the ad again, I'm gonna write it down so I can check online about it. Probably some made in China POS but it looked interesting. As TV ad crap can to the feeble-minded.
