No don't buy a matlight. Look at 4-sevens or fenix which have a full selection of different batteries or brightness. Fenix also has a line of headlamps which are interesting. Always have a headlamp. I keep a headlamp in my toolbox and it gets more use than the flashlights for like plumbing under the sink. For normal use the 1AA is or 2AA is fine. The non-standard cells like CR123s are much better but probably not worth dealing with. The_Angry_Turtle posted:I can't even remember the last time I needed to use a flashlight so the existence of a flashlight enthusiast community baffles me. What do they do at their meetups? Go out in the woods at night and play hide and seek? The flashlight itself seems like the least interesting part of any activity that might require a flashlight. Well it intersects with weird survival/knife/gun people who try and optimize everything they carry. But also in the mid-2000's modern LED lights started coming out which are orders of magnitude better than incandescent and also keep advancing quickly (like a 1AA light today is roughly the same as a maglight baseball bat variety). So for a while there was a huge difference between niche brands like Fenix which you could only find online and crap like Maglight which was sold in the store. If you hike or bike or do anything outdoors it makes a difference.
