There are a zillion different models out there now.

I have an older one that uses D cells with multiple little LEDs,
the advantage is it can run for 100 hours or more. It's not that bright,
tho.

Newer 1-3 watt LEDs are very bright - and compact - but use a lot of power,
will only run a few hours on a couple of AA cells.

Depends what you need it for.

Get a couple, they're mostly pretty cheap.

Should have Li-Ion battery, with good life, and be rechargeable. Saw a
nice bike light, but would like this to be hand-held. Would prefer
flood to spot, high lumen.
Recos much appreciated. Thank you!
