Look for a flashlight that's guaranteed to be corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant and waterproof. This should be easy to find for as little as $10.
Step2
Consider a flashlight with an adjustable beam.
Step3
Purchase a flashlight that converts to a lantern or freestanding candle for maximum ambience.
Step4
Select a flashlight that's small enough to fit into your jacket or pants pocket so it's easily accessible after dark. Many mini lights are available that offer intensive light despite their small size.
Step5
Purchase a biteable handle that slides onto your mini light, allowing you to hold the light between your teeth while freeing your hands. These can be found for a little more than a dollar.
Step6
Consider buying a headlamp instead of a flashlight, or a headband designed to hold a mini light. This will allow you to keep your hands free for tasks.

Wrap a little bit of duct tape around the hand of a mini mag light (you'll have to experiment to find the exact amount but it's a couple of turns). This does 3 things: (1) It makes it a lot more comfortable to grip in your mouth. (2) It makes it fit snugly in the sheath. (3) You always have some duct tape on you.
