At regular intervals Home Depot sells 10 LED flashlights for $8 complete with batteries. We store one in every compartment, give them away. lose some... who cares?
We employ the same effort with sunglasses. After losing too many expensive pairs the limit is now $12. Seems we can't lose the cheap ones.

Seems like the LED flashlights use up batteries fast. Replacing batteries more often.

Another idea. These are a different alternative to a traditional flashlight, but I have probably a half-dozen or so of headband flashlights similar to these from Amazon. I find them of great use at night around the campfire, walking around the RV, taking the dogs for their walks, etc. It's nice having both hands available to work. Like others, I seem to leave them all over the place, so I have multiple pairs I try to keep in key locations. They're cheap and work pretty darn well.
When they were first recommended to me, I balked at the idea as being "geeky", but I'll be danged, they work.~Rick

I like a rechargeable light.
I donโt understand the popularity of LED flashlights using AA (or AAA!) batteries. Yes, I know, LED lights use less power, but I see that as a poor reason to carry less reserve power.
I prefer the heft of a flashlight that runs on C or D cell batteries. If I want a small, lightweight flashlight, one that runs on 2 C cells seems to be about right. Thatโs what I used to carry back in the day for backpacking. I donโt think C cells cost any more than little AA cells and last many times longer.
