1) How would you prefer to purchase the light? Amazon is preferred
2) Budget: An easy question, but you may change your mind after answering the rest! Under $50
3) Format: Handheld flashlight
4) Size: TINY - Every day carry (2-4 inches) or SMALL - Every day carry (4-7 inches).
5) Emitter/Light source: LED
7) What power source do you want to use? Rechargeable cells based on less common formats (18500 or 18650 Li-Ion, RCR123, et-al).
7a) If you have selected a rechargeable option: USB C charging port
8) How much genuine out the front (OTF) light do you want/need?
I want to confidently walk around an unlit/unpaved rural area (60-150 lumens).
I want to illuminate my entire backyard or a campsite (150-300 lumens).
9) Flood vs Throw: Flood covers an area, Throw reaches out to a distance.
Narrow Flood: I want a sharply defined flood area that will project some distance for tasks like trail walking.
9a) Distance: How far away will you typically need to see with this light (check all that apply)
Less than 5 yards/meters (looking for something inside a dark shed/garage/basement)
5-20 yards/meters (check out a noise in the backyard)
13) User Interface (UI) and mode selection. Select all that apply.
A simple on-off with only one output level is fine for me. One button with on-off only.
16) Storage conditions: In house (temperature/climate controlled environment)

wurkkos and sofirn offerings have become rather popular budget options lately, and many of the newer ones have high CRI
