I know this is not a AA or AAA light, but this is what I used to light my house during hurricane Ida last year. Ryobi makes these area lights that clip on top of their 18v power tool batteries. It has 3 light levels, 25L, 170L, and 400L. If you use their 9ah battery, the light has around 40 hours of run time. I had bought 4 of these lights early last year for my emergency supplies and thank god I did. We lost power for a few days here in south Louisiana when hurricane Ida hit us. These lights are about as bright as a table lamp so during the hurricane I used them to light various rooms of the house. I used them for maybe 3 to 4 hours per night for several days until the power came back on and I never had to recharge any of the batteries. I had a generator running outside that I could have used to recharge the batteries if needed.
Now if you have to have just a AAA flashlight, I love my Coast Polysteel 400 flashlight. It has two modes, 400L and 41L. The run time is 3 hours on high and 29 hours on low. It uses 4 AAA batteries. These sell for $25 at Home Depot.
