I'm not a big collector of flashlights, and the ones I'm interested in tend to be in the lower price ranges, however I have noticed that most flashlights I've looked at suffer from a fundamental design flaw. These lights have a basically cylindrical body that allows them to freely roll around when placed on a flat surface. The number of times I've had a flashlight roll off a table or car bonnet etc... I can't believe that manufacturers continue to design flashlights with such a stupid shape when it costs NOTHING to add some edges (eg make part of the head octagonal or whatever). What on earth are these guys thinking of? Doesn't anyone else get annoyed by this?
