For emergency use my priority is having a light I can trust. That simple UK 4xAAeLED (the old design w/o zoom) gives a nice flood which provides plenty of light over a long period. It uses the old luxeon LED which UK chose to underdrive -- longer life, less heat, easier on batteries. I have one in each kit.
