Best flashlight?

[JPA Cate]

One headlamp per person, plus one really good dive light. (Never know when you might have to cut a prop free at night.)

In addition, nice to have a spotlight (hand held is fine) for when you enter anchorages at night, and also for illuminating your own sails, to help others see you.

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this (I don't have time to read all posts) but I have what I guess is the first generation of this flashlight (interesting why this term was originally used in the US). Yes it's expensive, but it's incredible.

Absolutely the best and I have gone through many. Olight S30R III

I think it has been replaced by this one https://www.olightstore.com/warrior-mn2.html

Sits in magnetic charging base that has suction cups at nav station. Awesome on watch to check the sails and has moonbeam, long press on on/off does not ruin your night vision.
