Pilot's Flashlight
This two-color LED light is geared toward us aircraft owners and pilots, but it's also popular with hunters or anyone else working at night or in conditions where they need to preserve night vision. It has 26 LEDs -- 20 are bright white and six are a less-obtrusive red. The push button switch alternates between the colors. I use mine when I'm preflighting the aircraft and also during flights if I need something more powerful than the existing interior lighting inside the plane. I also know some law enforcement people who use them in vehicles at night. The light is sold by the big aviation supply houses like Aircraft Spruce, but also on Amazon. It's very inexpensive, especially considering how effective it is.

Nice idea, nice size, but not very durable -- the connecting wires have come loose, so I'll end up pitching the damn thing rather than having to keep shaking it to get the light to stay on.
Less bothersome defects: The metal body is a little slippery -- would be nice if there were some sort of textured material to make a sturdier grip.
The loop for a carry strap was impossible -- never could get the strap installed.
