The best "deal" on a LED flashlight I've come across is from Walmart... They sell a Dorcy brand LED light named "Cool Blue" It's a 4 AA light with a single LED... very bright and has a nice narrow beam profile... best of all it will run approx. 200 hours on a single set of batteries. All for under $8 bucks.<br><br>Another flashlight I've recently bought a number of is the "Storm light" by Black & Decker... it's a recharger/flashlight that uses their stick batteries, best of all it comes on automaticly in a power outage so it's easy to find.<br>I mounted them strategically around the house to provide emergancy lighting, without even removing the flashlight from the holder... the light shining on the ceiling makes a nice area light which is good for 6 to 8 hours. (providing you fill the extra battery space provided)<br><br>Either of these is a good option, used together they pretty much cover all the bases.<br><br>Best of luck
