Surefire makes probably the best flashlights you'll ever find, especially
for illuminating things at great distances. I have one of these and despite
its small size, it VERY thoroughly illuminates things 200 feet away.
As far as batteries, the company sells boxes of lithium batteries at a great
price. I wouldn't base my decision on how easy it is to find batteries.
Order a bunch when you buy the flashlight. They have a 10 year shelf life.
