I have a problem with flashlights. I like them so much to the point that I had some custom made over the years. Mag light is great if you want to play baseball with it. Big and clumsy unless it is use to hit someone with it. I rather use a longer stick instead.
Most people associate a good light with throw. For general use, I like a med. throw beam with wide enough beam pattern that allow the user to see a wilder area (medium flood) and not just a 1.5' bright spot at 10' away. You need to have the entire room lit up not a corner. Lights with slight orange peel reflective lens will do that but the throw or distance suffers a bit. A good light to have is this.

Small, fit well in hand and it has a fail safe tail light switch(does tail stand too). I like tail switch because it doesn't matter how dark, the switch is always there unlike traditional side switch, i have to look or feel for it. I have the older model in every one of my vehicles including my office and tool box. GEt the USB rechargeable instead of ones that requires a charger. It is just simpler and easier.
This is also a great light that I use to see into my back yard. My coyote light. The throw is more then enough due to it brightness but the diameter of the hot spot is wider making it much easier to see a larger area. Oh, it is bright. The only draw back is the side switch and its a bit larger in diameter but shorter then the ones motioned above at 1.25". An earth worm can be seen within 50 yards.

Fenix also makes something similar but they are a few bucks more. Just as reliable too.
