Quite possibly the perfect (Flashlight) !

Pak-Lite

Although I impress easily..I really like this one for a tank bag or tool roll.

I've had these for a couple of years for various places like my backpack & my car glove box. They work great (although mine is black not glow in the dark) except that the switch is a little tough to work with gloves on. Other than that, I can attest the marketing is true...lasts forever and is plenty bright. Perfect for stuffing & forgetting.

There's a better version available through:

It has a pushbutton switch, is waterproof, and always glows slightly in the dark so you can find it.

I've been using a SEA-PAL as a travel light for a few years. (Well, that plus a SureFire.)

Count me as another fan of SureFire. I keep a G2 (Nitrolon) in each vehicle. They now make LED versions for longer battery life.

I keep a photon LED light on the right breast pocket zipper of my Roadcrafter. It's very easy to reach up and squeeze to throw some light on the tankbag.

 

If I need more than that, there's a Surefire G2 in the tankbag.

I got a few sets of these when they were on sale for $7.99 a set:

I have actually been pretty impressed with their construction and light output - and especially for the price.

 

I keep the "1 AA" version on all the bikes, and carry the AA batteries in a separate, sealed bag. I think that the expiration date on these batteries is something like 2009, but since it gets hot in system cases, I'll replace the batteries in 2007 for safety.

 

Nice cheap little lights.
