Currently my list includes:

3-d maglite converted to LED it runs about 120 lumens

Several Mini-maglights, some LED converted, some still using the incandescent bulbs

3xAAA UV flashlight, I got it to find leaks in the coolant system of a car I was working on, and it's pretty cool to just have.

a AA single LED light that puts out in excess of 150 lumens (though it's rated at 200, and it might be pretty close)

Several little single AAA lights.

The next thing on my list to acquire is a P-7 light running on a 18650 battery... that should be pretty sweet.

I don't use batteries. I use muscle. Crank up beltlight. Crank it for thirty seconds for a few hours of light. It's LED, and can clip to your belt. Mom got one just so she could work on her bike at night.

well... i went to a flea market and found a 3 and a half foot maglite that is light weight and has a holster... It actually doesn't get in your way when you are walking... there is only one problem with it... when you get on one knee it pops out of the holster... but you can beat the flashlight against a wall all day and it still works... I also got a few little pocket maglites as well...

just a regular, hand held light, a pocket light (my fave) and this big flashlight my mom's boyfriend gave us. He's an engineer for a train and its standard issue. Ill try and get a pick of it.

 My favorites are a couple of MAGLITE 2D LED's I got on sale, only downside is they are silver, I've been meaning to spraypaint them flat black. I have probably a dozen little cheap Chinese specials from big lots, one offbrand was actually pretty tough so I made a shotgun barrel clamp for it and used it to kill rats that had been steeling my dogs' food and it's held up really well.
 I have a Streamlight TLR-3 on my XD(M) that is pretty tough and super bright, I think it's rated at 80 lumens which is pretty good for it's small size.
 I bought a DORCY 2 AA LED that worked pretty good for a few months until the tailcap spring took a set. It was just barely out of warranty so I contacted Dorcy about buying a new tailcap and they said they do not sale parts. The light was pretty tough save for that one flaw, but I'd avoid them unless you catch them on sale.

I really like Surefire lights.  Have one on a quick release mount for my carbine.  It's a Surefire 6P in a surefire mount.  I'd like to upgrade a Surefire dedicated weapon light at some point.  That's in the $450 range though.  The only bad thing about a light mounted on a firearm is that you have to point the gun at something to look at it.  That's usually a bad thing, as one of the golden rules of gun safety is never point a gun at something you're not willing to destroy.

 Everbody thinks I'm an idiot for the same reason. I've been asked a dozen times

 "Why do you carry a flashlight when you have alight on your pistol?"

 First and foremost, so I don't have to point my gun at everthing, and second because D's and AA's are a lot cheaper than CR2's.

I have a SureFire LED tactical light.
2 smaller 2 C cell flash lights.

For dual purpose 3 D-cell Mag Light.  Yeah it seems old school, but if I'm searching a room with it and a Zombie jumps up.  It's short enough and heavy enough to kill it.  It was ruled in both IL and MO that it is considered a deadly weapon if you strike someone with it.  A few cases in St. Louis went badly for Police officers when they used them to 'subdue' a subject by hitting him in the head killing him.

 It may have cracked a skull, but i"m willing to bet the MagLights were okay afterwards.

I've got a hand held, triple LED light powered by 3 AAA batteries. I've got the same batteries in it for about a year and it still works perfectly. So i guess it could come in handy.
