Black Diamond Storm. They have a locking feature so it won't come on in your pack. Great light, give it a look.

Zebralight also has a lock out.
Not knocking any other lights. But you can not beat a zebra light and if there was a light that did I'd own it.

I've got an energizer brand from Wally World or lowes and that thing stays with me for any outdoor adventure. During bow season it stays in my pack with a small led hand held ozark trail. I love having these two with me on a blood trail. The energizer has excellent battery life and has took a beating since 2007. Energizer was $14 and ozark trail was $8.00.

Best I've used thus far is the Foxelli. Super bright with different settings (of course), USB rechargeable, charge lasts incredibly long.

I've got a Petzl (sp), had it for 10+ years. I can get through a season on one set of triple A's. Doesn't weigh much either. I'm sure technology has improved since I bought it, I just haven't had to look into one in a long time.

My current is a fenix but I had to do some work to it as the mount was junk. Always keep a quality small flashlight in the pack. Just got a new streamlight that I'm pretty impressed with. I use a flashlight for a living, I won't tolerate junk.

I have a terra lux that I use a lot. Small, bright locks in the off position so it won't come on in you pack. I think it is about 500 lumens on high.

Best for the money it costs that I have found is Princeton Tec Fuel model, if you want a red light also on it, one of their Remix models has a red light. They are all we use for backcountry elk hunting now, they work really good.

The zebralight 600 and their other 18650 battery models require expensive batteries and purchasing a good charger. Not that that is bad but not everyone will want to go that route. You also need to make sure the 18650 battery is the right lenght and head type.
If you want simpler zebralight the h32w natural white is a great light weight cr123 battery light (my favorite).
If you want an AA zebralight the h52 neutral white is a great light as well.
Imo its the h32w with cr123 that wins. Batteries can be had for a buck apiece online, its small and super light with great output and battery life. The cr123 battery is impervious to cold weather where as alcoline batteries die instantly in cold temps. Plus my eagletac flash lights I also carry use cr123 batteries as well so one battery for all my lights.
