I remember those but haven’t seen lantern batteries for sale in many years.
A really good flashlight

Only could get my last one through Grainger…
None of the hardware stores carry them even though one had a spot but the clerk said he had been there 3 years and it’s always been out of stock.

Not a flashlight, but I've used this far more than I ever thought I would.
Mine's an older version with a different LED array. Got it at a Father's day sale at HD a few years ago...buy a select tool, get a 2 pack of batteries free. All I really needed was the batteries, and it was the last day of the sale so everything was pretty well picked over. Man, is this thing bright!!!

This summer I brought in a flood/spot work light that I cannot gush about enough. The light is available for Dewalt 20V and Milwaukee M18 batteries.
Here is my review over at Amazon. Check out this Amazon review of LED Work Light for Milwaukee 18V Batteries, 90W 5400ML LED Wide Beam Flood Light Two Lighting Modes LED Light for Emergency Workshop Garage(No Battery)

I have a bunch of flashlights. It’s one of those things you can never have enough of. I did the LED swap in my MagLites. The replacement bulbs are pretty cheap on Amazon.

Browsing through a closeout store I spotted a AA flashlight made by Energizer, $7 ea. and rectangular instead of round-no rolling.
It's the brightest small flashlight I've ever bought. It had a high/low setting and I almost never use the high setting indoors because it's reflection of stuff blinds me.
I don't know what they mean, but on the base it has:

I have purchased several flashlights over the years. The latest and Best I have ever bought is the knuckle head flashlight . It has a magnet at the base and will stay where ever you place it. the head swivels 360 deg, and also up and down. I wish I had known about this light years ago working on HVAC/ Plumbing. Its also great for auto work.
They come in Floodlight, or Spotlight model

My latest flashlight purchase was this "Floodlight" from Harbor Freight. Rechargeable, and good for a few hours.
The ICON version is bigger, heavier, and appears to include a port to use it as a cell phone backup battery. The Braun version is small and compact (3 colors).
The handle can be used to prop it up at different angles, and includes a magnet to snap it to a car hood. I find they are convenient to carry, and I can use a couple of fingers through the handle, and still carry stuff with my hand. Overall I find both versions to be impressive. And, folded up, the smaller Braun fits in a coat pocket. I haven't dunked mine in a bucket of water yet, but they appear to be very water resistant. And, even reasonably rugged.
It is called a flood lamp, and has a fairly wide beam. Shining it at a white ceiling will illuminate the room. Unfortunately it doesn't have a lantern mode.
I've only been using them for a bit under a month, but was impressed enough that I gave several away for Christmas.
