The Best Flashlight: Nightlighter

The Nightlighter Oval Flashlight

Here is a great flashlight for the Hood-To-Coast relay night runs. Easy to carry, though not quite as easy as my first choice, the headlamp, but preferable for those who don't like to wear illuminating devices on their heads. No weight listed, but it is described as well-balanced. It takes 3 AA batteries.

This dual-light flashlight emits a forward-facing, narrow-angle beam (uses a high output Luxeon one watt LED bulb) to light the path ahead of you. It also emits a downward-facing wide-angle beam (uses two ultra bright 5mm white LEDs) to light the ground. Using both of these light sources simultaneously enables you to feel safer while walking in the dark. No more constantly rotating the light near and far to see everything in the dark. There are also multiple lighting options available with the flashlights three-way switch: the front light on alone, both front and lower lights on, and lower lights only.
