I admit it: I'm sort of a flashlight geek. From the pen lights I had as a kid to the LED flashlight I have on my keychain, I've always liked them. Mostly because I hate stubbing my toes on things in the middle of the night, I guess.

But, it's also pretty nice to be able to see what's going on in the woods around your camp in the middle of the night. Enter the 1,100 Lumens -- roughly 15 million candlepower -- flashlight/spotlight. Essentially, this has about as much power as the new halogen car headlights (on high beam), so you can get an idea of how well it can illuminate an area. For about a hundred bucks, this portable day-maker is well worth the money.
