Pak-Lite LED
The ultimate lightweight backpacking camp light. A tiny 4 gram chip sits atop a regular alkaline 9-volt battery which acts as body, handle, stand and power source. Two modes: high (75 hours) and low (600 hours). High mode produces about as much light as a candle, only steadier, harsher and whiter. The Pak-LIte is an ideal tent light. You can set down and let it burn hour after hour, night after night. I once ran mine for 48 hours continuously and found no drop off in power. One battery should last the longest thru hike. You can make it last years by substituting a 9-volt lithium battery (200 hours on hi, 1,200 on lo). It's easy enough to grab it and use it as a torch or map reader as well. Since the 9-volt battery has a long shelf life it makes a pretty good hurricane/emergency light too.

and if you pack some steel wool, the battery (without the Pak-lite safely covering the terminals) can help start fire!

try a PAL light,the old style if you can find one.same idea only in a rubber covering that is fairly water tight and it has a lens that will throw a beam 50-60 feet and more.
it has a low,high and blinking setting.it's the only flashlight i take camping and i keep one at home in the bedside table.

Cool light. I have something similar. I drop it into an empty HDPE Nalgene liter bottle in green plastic and it gives a nice diffused light for the campsite. It is also visible for quite a distance if you are prone to wander about at night.
