The simple answer is to not lend out your phone, but you knew that.

Rather than a 2xAA, why not get two 1xAA LED lights. One you can lend if you think the other person absolutely reliable (the answer is “no, otherwise he’d have his own light”. The second light is not a loaner, not ever.

AA flashlights at CountyComm. I have both an older version of the Ti 1xAA and the current version of the Cu 1xAA. Both have the same simple interface, are very reliable and provide enough light — three modes, Low-Medium-High (5, 45 & 205 lumen). There are no strobes, S-O-S or other modes that are rarely if ever used.
