I bought a set of two flashlights at Costco last year. These are medium sized LED 200+ lumen adjustable from wide search to very focused beam. I keep a package of AA batteries on board and i am very satisfied. The power of these new generation flashlights is remarkable, almost science fiction. They are so superior to the old style marine "search lights" it is hard to believe. Package of 2 was less than $30.
