Arbitrary List of Popular Flashlights - Winter Solstice 2024 Edition

In honor of Winter Solstice, I've made an updated list of popular flashlights. Today is the day you're most likely to need a flashlight in the northern hemisphere, and I have some good candidates here.

What is the point of the one that shines in an 'L' shape?

@SubArcticTundra Those can be used as headlamps, handheld, and for most of them, magnetic work lights.

I've started using them almost exclusively, they can be used just like a normal light but they also work really well as a headlamp. Most have a magnetic base which combined with the side output makes them ideal for working on stuff that requires both hands. Normal magnetic lights just mean you have a flashlight pointed at your face.

I have an H300 and it's absolutely amazing if you just ignore the weird charging thing.
