Light and Visuals
I'm not actually recommending this, but... I have 2 older ones that can shine all night and have never failed. I've used them for years and years. The RED LIGHT comes in handy when I need to keep my night vision. Sometimes cheap doesn't mean its not a good light.
Updated features, not quality, has made these types unpopular.
This is a real tactical flashlight, not a regular flashlight with projections around the lens.
Read some old law enforcement manuals on tactics and see how often this flashlight is advantagous, especially for skull cracking and interior sweeps.
Over my lifetime, I've had more of these than I can count..and most still operate like new!
Olight are the only high dollar torches I buy, because they are always having flash sales!
I have three models, and each has a specific need that it meets. Most important feature for me is usb/magnetic charging.
The S1R II is my edc light due to its size and handy adjustable clip.
I like my headlamps bombproof, water proof, and dust proof. Batteries last forever, or so it seems. Lockable, tap to adjust brightness, red light, blue light, the features go on and on.
By far my most used source of light when out in the woods. Best headlamp for the money.
I have an older model, and use it heavily for filming outings. Lights the camp up ALL NIGHT. Great work light or camp light for the money. Withstands rain and abuse. Powerbank to charge your phone or other device. (smaller olight, etc...)

CHEMSTICKS, SNAPLITES, GLOSTICKS
Whatever you call them, have some available for emergencies.
A must for every go bag and gear kit.
These are USA made, nontoxic, high quality 8 hour lights!
Good quality hand crank and solar flashlight. Similar lights don't work after a couple of years, this one does. Enough light to get tasks done, 3 settings. WATERPROOF to 45 feet.
Batteries fail, and will run out after shtf...so have a torch that doesn't need them.
Call me old fashioned, but I believe every household should have a hurricane lamp, some extra oil, and wicks. 25 hour burntime on 12 ounces of fuel, adjustable for needs. Get a fancy one and display on a table, or a cheap one and stash in your closet. Many uses for the oil and wicks!
Great quality flashlight and weapon light. Comes with M-lock mount, pressure switch cap, 2 rechargeable batteries, battery charger, tools.
1200 lumens gets the job done.
It survived water immersion and a torture test.
Great light for any price range but this one is cheap.

Lightweight, powerful, great holster, firefly mode, waterproof. USB recharging. No complaints about this flashlight. Its been around for years. See my review here:
Watch for flash sales and discount codes. Due to low weight and 6 different light modes, this is my go to for long hikes and backpacking into the woods.
