Brillianter.com points out a James Rummel post on emergency flashlights.
The number of options for hand-powered LED lights these days means everyone should have a few around the house, one in the car, and probably a couple in your grab-n-go emergency bag. (You have a grab-n-go emergency bag, right?)
For general back-up lighting on things like camping and other outdoor activities, I prefer my MOLLE Light by PentagonLight. It’s small, bright enough to help get you out of a tough spot, and powered by standard AA batteries. Of course, this little guy isn’t intended to be a primary light and you’ll want something a bit more substantial if you’re planning on needing it.
As Brillianter says
One can never have enough flashlights.
Like ammunition, flashlights are something you’ll rarely have a reason to say “Boy, I sure bought too much of this stuff…”
