Here is an idea for a better flashlight:

Some retail stores have a new LED flashlight by
Coleman:

It has 5 small LEDs around a krypton bulb.

You could pull out the krypton bulb and replace it with a luxeon type LED:

Which cost around $ 27.00

This modification would give you a flashlight with a 4 choices of brightness:
1, 3 or 5 small LED's or the luxeon LED, for under $ 50.00.

For some reason the headlamp industry is progressing much faster
than the flashlight industry.

Also,

Coleman makes a headlamp with the same head-piece as the flashlight,
so if you had both of these, you could interchange parts in an emergency.
