   Not "A" flashlight--but a few, and all LED.   
      
   So far I have about half as many lights as knives.   
      
   My most recent light is a total custom, all titanium light from a maker   
   in Hawaii, McGizmo. It uses one CR123A battery, has 3 levels of   
   light--one suitable for inside, one for outside, and one super that will   
   light up a whole river gum tree like daylight at 100 metres, and fits in   
   a shirt pocket.   
      
   He calls it a Haiku XP-G, and I got the additional bead blast finish.   
      
   Just like some of my custom knives, it's a delight to use, or just to   
   play around with, and is suitable for admiration.
