Just looking for a good LED flashlight not D cell, makes the search
much easier.

"Now the LED flashlight. I got a Rigel Skylite for $25 + shipping from
Hardin Optical Company
(http://hardinoptical.com/rigsysskylle.html). First, this gem has both
white and red LED lamps (a white/green version is available too).
Plus, they are activated with a large dial or wheel that starts out
dim, and gets brighter as you turn it! A lanyard is attached to the
end so you can wear it around your neck. I did a pretend preflight to
see how it would work. Perfectly adequate, but it doesn't throw a
strong penetrating light. My idea with this would be to wear it
around my neck during flight, perhaps turned to either red or white at
the dimmest setting, so if the electrical fails I will have some light
on anyway."
