Recommended flashlights? (feddit.uk)

What lightweight, practical flashlights would people recommend?

I want something that I could use while camping, dog walking, and general day-to-day tasks (finding something under the bed for example). Currently I use my phone torch, which isn't particularly practical. My previous (battery powered) torches have died after too short a space of time - I want something that will last.

One with a clip would be handy, so I could attach it to a cap.

I see lots of ones online with insane lumens. 1000 lumens seems like overkill for my purposes!

Not too worried about price (within reason!)

Fenix t6 pen light is PERFECT. It's a pen with a flashlight in the top, it is removable from the pen and can be clipped in a shirt pocket or collar or on a headband and it's plenty of light. I also have a Fenix WT25R, a little more bulky but a lot brighter. Anything more expensive needs to come with a lifetime warranty and serious add-ons or else it's an overpriced gimmick. I'm looking at you Surefire and Nitecore, their EDC lights are too expensive tbh.
