I get one of these little like 1980-something . I still have the same one , it still work great with only change bulb and battery throughout the year . it have be practically everywhere with I and always work .  these flashlight be campact , bright , durable and focusable . I have drop mine , toss mine , even use it as a hammer once or twice . get it wet , cold and generally yucky . still work great . the only way this will not be the last flashlight you 'll ever buy be if you do what I do , finally get a bigger mag-lite a few year ago for those time when I want more light .  these have to be the best-supported flashlight on the planet . how many other flashlight have so many accessory available for they and have be copy so frequently ? you will not be sorry .
