I'm looking for a small LED flashlight to carry with me:

- Short and thin enough to fit in my pocket (around 4" length)

- Uses AA or AAA batteries (easy to find, not lithium)

- Has decent brightness (enough to read a house number)

- Lasts longer than 2 hours

- Reliable switch

- Should be able to withstand sweaty hand or occasional water splash

The closest thing I've seen is an Inova at Target, but the light is a
bit dim and the runtime is only 2 hours.

Thanks in advance -

I got a couple of these upon recommendation from glenn reynolds at
instapundit.com.

I haven't tried its longevity, but it seems to put out a substantial light.

I have had two similar priced units of different colors. They are junk, and will flicker
after a while driving you nuts, until you throw it away.
