THE FINAL FLASHLIGHT
I just picked up the last flashlight I’ll ever need: the Nebo / Big Larry. Don’t look at it directly; it will temporarily blind you. Instead of individual LEDs it has a yellow plate full of LED chips ...

Seems like the LED flashlights use up batteries fast. Replacing batteries more often.
That seems to be my experience, the last few years. I swear that when LED flashlights first came out they lasted forever... now, we've always got a "dead" LED light amoung our lights. I don't know if I've just gotten used to the longer lasting light in general, or that most of the new LEDs are of really cheap manufacture.
I use a couple of the flat type LEDs at a friends cabin, and they rarely last more than one season before running out of power. This isn't on constantly, just when using the bathroom and/or getting ready for bed.
I do use the clip on hat lights all the time. Puts the light just where I want it and weigh almost nothing. They seem to use up batteries quickly also, but I do use them all the time.
