Surefire outdoorsman flashlights. Bought the single and double 123 battery lights years ago. Upgraded them to LED and they are serving me well. I use the small one mainly, and the bigger one for backup/trailing.

I have several (all Fenix), but usually use a Fenix headlamp for tracking at night. Actually have a couple different models, a single AA and a 4 AA model. The single AA headlamp is what I carry in my pack (with spare batteries) for tracking at night.

Have an E15 (single cr123a battery - 170 lumens on high) in my truck, and an E05 (single AAA battery - 85 lumens on high) that's always on my keyring.
Also have a new E35UE (18650 rechargable battery or 2-cr123a batteries - 360 lumens on high, 900 lumens on "burst") on order. :roll: It will also go in my hunting pack. :wink:

a light that is bright enough to blind you if you look at it :mrgreen:
all depends what's the task, a headlamp or flashlight, tracking or for blinds?
one flashlight is not enough and if you spend more than 100$ for it then maybe you should discover eBay and its power of low price :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm on my 2nd season with a Black Diamond Storm headlamp, I love it! Very bright, long battery life, not terribly expensive, love the hands-free ability.
