The airplane flashlights are emergency only. Find one you like, get a bigger one that's VERY bright. Smaller flashlight = smaller battery so you'll replace them often if it's bright. I tried LED (too dim) but went back to halogen. Maybe LEDs are brighter now.
Bright is important, if you miss something on the RON walkaround and the flight cancels the next morning it's all on you. The FO in the morning may be able to see much better due to the sun being up.
