No flashlight review? Who could recommend a pocket size budget aa flashlight under $20 ?
 
I carry a pocket friendly SK-68 (mine is Ultrafire brand). It takes either an AA or a 14500 3.7 volt Lithium Ion battery. It's brighter with the L-Ion battery of course. I use 14500 batteries in some of mine, and I have a USB powered charger for the battery, so I can charge it anywhere I can charge my phone (including from a solar powered charger) . In the others I have Eveready Advanced Lithium AA batteries. A battery, whether AA or 14500, lasts a LONG time in this flashlight.

This is definitely the best bang for the buck in compact flashlights. You can get a dozen for the price of an equivalent name brand flashlight. I have them stashed everywhere.

It's a single battery design made by a gazillion different Chinese companies. They are very cheap, and the quality control is not always great (so Caveat Emptor, LOL), but you can buy a handful for the price of one good one at Wally World. Here is one brand on Amazon that is 5 for 17 bucks. YES you read that right...$3.40 each...

Make sure you get one that is "Ultrafire Brand" and fulfilled by Amazon because some are drop shipped direct from the factory in China (could be months before the slow boat from China gets here, LOL)

The brand doesn't really mean anything...it's just a stamp on a flashlight that could be made at any number of different factories. But the Ultrafires are usually sourced from reliable factories.
