Most people can use a handy flashlight that is reliable, waterproof, and has batteries that are readily available to be either swapped out and/or recharged quickly. Although a lot of advanced features are nice, the important features from my own experience is 1) reliability, 2) reasonable cost 3) easy and quick replacement or use of rechargeable batteries, preferably lithium, 4) low heat generation. Flashlight technology has come a long way in 20 years. There's lots of choices out there for flashlights that provide the 3 qualifications above for everyday use for under $20.
