I'm looking for ideas of what's best to put in the kitchen drawer - this is a utility light. You might grab it to look for something behind the couch. Use it in a power outage. Take it outside when you take the dog out at night. You get the idea. General-purpose.

Any budget, any battery type - I just want to know: What is YOUR kitchen drawer light?

A five year old Dorcy, about 150 lumens. Made of thick aluminum, running on 3 AAA batteries, with a clicky tailcap.
It has always worked, and gets used at least once a week.

I don't have one, I try but the kids always grab em. I keep a light in my pocket 24/7, often two.

Typically for the kitchen drawer, I have a light that I don't care if it gets damaged. So its usually one of my less expensive lights. Right now I have a Fenix E12 with a wrist strap so it doesn't roll off a table. That light normally wouldn't be there but since my daughter dropped it and scratched it up, its now relegated to the utility drawer.

Since we're talking home, I find I grab a Terralux LS80 (2xAAA) light most of the time when doing something where the risk is that could be dropped or bumped (ie: working on a car, etc) because its a cheap light, simple to operate and it wouldn't be the end of the world if it were lost or broken.

Fenix LD20. It was my old hunting flashlight and its reliability has been proven. Keep her loaded with a pair of Eneloop Pros.

Good thread especially as i love big shed bargain lights.My kitchen drawer light is a double c cell own label from Tesco now running on AA via adaptors as i am far to tight to buy outdated c and d cell when nothing else here uses them.

The Fraz QTC. But with a twist, it can do anything and anyone can use it. Crazy 26650 run times! Built like a tank!

EDIT: Just make sure you teach everyone how to make sure they turned it 100% off!
