Sir Dennis,

Buy a donkey for the flowers you send to Old Fugly and to Sir Phil's Old Ugly.

Here is an interesting $15 torch I must try on Old Fugly, the Coast brand "Polysteel 250 Flashlight"
390 Lumens bright with a focusing white beam only,
runs 4 hrs at full blast on only three AAA batteries,
and survives the 100-ft drop test shown/shone in this half-minute video:

The polymer-framed Glock of flashlights.
For 30 bucks you can get the Polysteel 1000, really bright at 1000 lumens, but getting a little long in the torch.
Holy cow, might start fires with that !

The SureFire E2L is heavy and dim by comparison,
with max output 45 lumens and runs for 14 hours on two lithium batteries (CR123A 3V).
More expensive all around.

The Polysteel 250 runtimes on its 3 settings::

390 lumens for 4 hours

175 lumens for 10 hr 45 min

57 lumens for 36 hours: This too beats the SureFire.
