i did a bunch of research (it's pretty easy to get bogged down in flashlight talk), and came away with a fenix ld20. $50-60 on amazon, uses AA, and throws out more than sufficient light for SD purposes. the fact that it has a 9 lumen setting with easy controls was a bonus. i'm really happy with it, but i'm sure that i would have been equally happy with most any other comparable light. these days they make 'em super mega bright and darn near indestructible. i carried (in the truck) a 4-D maglight w/ an LED bulb for years and years and this little thing puts it to shame. pretty amazing the advances in technology the past 5-10 years.
