20 year old Brookstone Multi Lite

This was an old whiz bang multi purpose emergency, camping, and survival light that was too complicated to actually be useful.  I bought it for all of those purposes and just came across it.  It takes a stack of D cells and when full will weigh quite a bit.

Old Style Standard D Cell Flashlights by Eveready

Here is an assortment of old Eveready lights.  Some still work because they were well made in the USA.

Magnetic Mount Lights - Old Style

These were common back in the 1960's and 70's.  They are handy like a standard 2 D cell flashlight and also mounted against a refrigerator or any other steel object simply by putting the magnet mount end against it.  They worked well.

The black one on the right is a Fulton Made in the U.S.A. which is always top quality.  The red one in the middle is an ECF2B by Snap on and is also industrial grade and well made.  The shiny chrome and yellow top flashlight on the left is an Eveready civilian grade light made in U.S.A.  They all can take a beating simply by the fact they are still around forty plus years later.  Each style harkens back to a time when the USA made lights were part of our industrial base.

Dollar Flashlights are Junk - Don't bother

I bought these a decade ago and never used them.  They are all made in China and I paid a dollar or two for these at one of the dollar type stores around.  I considered them disposables but didn't know how right I was.  I only used a few of them back in the day when I bought them and set the rest aside for some eventual use.  Now a decade later none of them work.  The switches are all non functional and therefore the lights are worthless.

My recommendation is to never buy a light at the dollar stores unless maybe you get one of the LED reading lights that has a simple switch and a built in lithium battery.  These tend to work better where anything you might need in an emergency should be well made.  Never buy pure junk like those shown below.  A dollar a light or even two or three should tell you all you need to know.  Every one of these lights went to the dump today and were a total waste of money.
