No, I prefer to be in the dark. Literally and figuratively. Or rely on my phone, which fuels my super-human night vision that most people don't have. The "light" on the phone sucks for most people, and is really slow to employ, but that doesn't effect me.

If need be, I rely on my underlings who will hand me a real flashlight (not a phone) when ordered. Or I'll fumble around in the shop, garage, or vehicle looking for one.

Being able to see is very overrated.

Almost always have ONE OF THESE in the tool pocket of my Carhartts.

Maglite Solitaire AAA LED. I used to carry the incandescent version, but the LED is much brighter. Tiny and amazingly powerful for such a small light. I still carry the incandescent in my travel bag for finding the bathroom in hotel rooms, where you don't want a bright light.

Like this one, only mine is black:

FYI for lithium ion battery powered flashlights -

"Devices containing lithium metal batteries or lithium ion batteries, including – but not limited to – smartphones, tablets, cameras and laptops, should be kept in carry-on baggage."

It wouldn't hurt to print this out and have it packed in your carry-on bag

Maglite 2 AA led on belt, right side, Maglite 1 AAA led on key ring, and my phone. Once I crossed 55, having extra light to see became needed. About the same time I started carrying a Swiss army knife in my pocket.

when i am wearing a hat it almost always has a brim light. ya, i'm that guy. nerdy but handy as hell.

Take a look here,pretty much anything and everything you could want to know about personal flashlights etc.

Douglasfir: Indeed I rely on the "flashlight" built into my cell phone/smart phone.
It comes in handy rather often.
