Somebody's bot told me about this giveaway. So much for keeping it a secret!
I have a fair number of lights, but not a Zebralight H53c.
I could really put a Zebralight H53c to good use!
I'm literally just now getting into hiking, and don't know much about gear, so I guess the Zebra too?
That zebra light would be great!

Flashlight. [...] I also picked one that uses AA batteries and not the fat D batteries or the C batteries you can never find.
Alternate light sources. I don't know how common blackouts are where you live [...] one was 3 weeks long. [...] I picked up some of those little cheap lanterns, that slide on and off, they take AA batteries.
Batteries. Seems trivial but nothing is worse than not having fresh batteries for tv remote; the electric toothbrush will still work without batteries. I avoid buying things that use anything besides double AA batteries, cept the remotes which uses AAA of course. [Are batteries internationally universal? I never looked that up] By keeping all the batteries to the same size, it is much easier to keep track of how many fresh ones I have on hand. [YES I would love to invest in rechargables, they are on my Amazon wish list the next time I give myself a gift.] I keep batteries in an clear plastic jar on top of the fridge. When it gets low I put them on my shopping list.
You are one of us: r/AAMasterRace. When you get rechargeable AA batteries, I recommend you get these ones (make sure your battery specifications match the packaging in this photo):
Get this package first to get the highest quality charger on the market:
You need that charger to get the full life out of Eneloops. If you take care of them, Eneloops will last at least a decade, maybe longer.
Another good option are AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, which are not rechargeable, but they're lightweight, and they last longer than any other battery on the market, by far:
See also r/flashlight.
EDIT: I also recommend Zebralight AA flashlights, namely this one:
They have extreme battery life for extended power outages. On the lowest setting, the can last 90 days on a single AA battery. Since they only take 1 AA battery, you never have to worry about having enough of them, or matching them. You can use "dead" alkalines, and the DC-to-DC voltage conversion circuitry will boost the voltage enough to squeeze out every last drop of energy from them until they are truly and totally dead.
Also, for extended power outages, 3 D cell (or more) lights are awesome, and you can pack them AA batteries using AA-to-D adapters. I want to get a 6D Maglite with an LED conversion:
With the brightest LED module, it is bright enough to replace your normal home lighting. You can put any battery that will fit in an AA-compatible device, including AAA, AAAA, C, D, F, 14500, 18650, 21700, 26650, 32600, 32650, etc. Since it's a Maglite, you can upgrade it any time to whatever the latest technology is. It's a good investment.
