Craig:

I think that the idea of carrying a flashlight and/or a cell phone with a light are both good ones.

You, as someone with a survival mindset, will go out of the way to carry a dedicated light.

The general public, on the other hand, may not. In today's society it is, however, likely that a person will make the effort to carry a cell phone while out and about. It may not be the best solution from a technical standpoint but a mediocre light is better than no light.
