I need new flashlights and you seem more knowledgeable than the average Amazon reviewer -- give us some links!

    Heh, yeah, that's the center of the crazy flashlight nerds. For keychain stuff it doesn't matter much, anything with a few buttons, AAA, or AA will do the trick. If you want to see across parks, tops of distant trees, flag down helicopters, etc then get an 18650 based light. Fenix is a good place to start, but there's many companies that made good lights. Even $50-$60 buys a hell of a light .

      +1 on Fenix, Eagletac is another great reasonably priced brand that I've found held up well over the last few years.

  If you're looking for a headtorch, then I can recommend the LEDLensor XEO19R - https://www.ledlenser.com/uk/products/headlamps/xeo-series/xeo19r/ https://www.ledlenser.com/uk/products/headlamps/xeo-series/x...

  It takes a lot of research on candlepowerforum or budgetlightforum to start to get an idea of what features you like and what's important to you. I've found the best quality, smallest, most efficient flashlights are from Zebralight. http://www.zebralight.com/ http://www.zebralight.com/ I've got about 30 flashlights, and the 5 Zebralights are my favorite by far.

    Agreed on Zebralight. Rock-solid construction, very compact and very powerful.
