What lightweight, practical flashlights would people recommend?

I want something that I could use while camping, dog walking, and general day-to-day tasks (finding something under the bed for example). Currently I use my phone torch, which isn’t particularly practical. My previous (battery powered) torches have died after too short a space of time - I want something that will last.

One with a clip would be handy, so I could attach it to a cap.

I see lots of ones online with insane lumens. 1000 lumens seems like overkill for my purposes!

Not too worried about price (within reason!)

    Ahh yes I did see that one in your other post. Fair point about having the extra power!

    Does that brand come with it’s own proprietary magnetic charger? Do they seem to work ok in that respect and hold charge for a long enough time?

      Yea they come with their own charger cable. It is proprietary but I find it’s a good system. I find they last a while especially if you’re using the lower settings

        How long do you reckon the flashlight itself will last? I assume there’s no way to replace the battery on those?

          The battery is replaceable, although it is proprietary but they sell them on the website. I haven’t needed to replace the battery on any that I’ve owned yet and I’ve had some for 5+ years
