Dewalt 18 volt snake light is a great flashlight
I am kind of a flashlight geek. I have been buying LED lights from dx.com. For $30 or less you can get something that would cost over $200 here in the US. They all use lithium polymer rechargeables also.
I also nabbed a LED module for my SureFire G2 and converted it to 16340 rechargeables.
There are a lot of other Chinese sites selling this stuff, but this is the only one I have ordered from. Shipping takes like 3 weeks though.

Stinger in van, 2 terralux lightstar 300, one always on my side other in my box. Used to always use surefire but batteries got expensive. I think they have some good AAs out now.
You can get rechargeable batteries to replace the CR123A's in your Surefire lights. Do a search for 3.0v 16340. There is also a 3.6v version of it which is more common.
These LED modules work in some Surefire lights, and they are WAY brighter than the stock halogen bulbs:

I have the second one in a Surefire G2. I had to remove the outer spring on it to get it to fit, but it works great. I've used it daily for over 2 years with rechargeable 16340 batteries.
streamlight polystinger led. I have two and one streamlight stinger. I find stuff co-workers miss with their next to useless mag lights. I don't need batteries because they are rechargeable. very durable. one is 4 years old and the others are 2. cops in my area use these everyday. snap on and mac tools sell them off the trucks for mechanics.
Ive tried every one ,, and i found i get more mad at helper when he loses or takes home by accident when there expensive,,
Now every-time i go to Pass the buck depot (home) i find that box in the clearance aisle with those cheap 1 dollar a piece flash light I buy 20,, saves my blood pressure.
If extremely dark Drop light
surplus angle flashlight with a maglight led bulb
the 2d surplus is brighter than a maglight with same bulb
Streamlight SL20X. Brighter than any of your little belt lights. rechargeable too.
But for every day use, a cheap home depot head light. Works great for those crap jobs on top of a 12 foot tall a frame ladder in the T-Bar ceiling looking at those piece of crap Water Source units.
I just picked up one of these today at HF and its impressive. The flashlights bright and the worklight part will light up a decent area...and its no larger than your cell phone.

I use a headlamp as well works well for most things and you don't have to hold it or stick it in your mouth
I have a petzl head lamp that I use mainly for camping because its so light. Its just not that bright. Surefire makes a head lamp that I have lusted over for some time. This thing looks like it belongs in a cave.

Coast LED light from the wHore Depot. It works great, because it has brass conductors unlike most aluminum LEDs that work crappy once the aluminum corrodes. I put a key chain loop on it, and attach to my belt loop with a lanyard so it is not weighing on my pocket when I put it in there. Only thing is the buttons stick out too far, so it is easy to accidentally turn on and kill the batteries, I fixed this by grinding the buttons in a bench grinder. I also have my trusty Milwaukee 18v power plus for the bigger jobs.
