I'm not sure, but I think that my favorite AA Flashlight may be out of production.
About 2 years ago, SamsClub had "Energizer" 2xAA LED Flashlights; they sold those in a 2-pack for less than $20.00 .
It looks somewhat like the MagLite 2AA LED flashlight.

I bought several of those Energizer flashlights, and use them "all the time" ... around the house and yard, kept in the cars, etc... .
For me, that flashlight is bright, compact, rugged, and the batteries last forever. And at about $10.00 per flashlight, I won't be crying if I misplace or damage it.
