6PCS Mini CREE Q5 LED Flashlight for $14.95 at Ebay.

As Uncle Ben once told Peter Parker, “Let there be light!” (it’s in the first movie, when he’s changing a lightbulb). That Ben’s a wise guy: Nobody likes fumbling around in the dark, even if they have spider-sense, and this collection of a half-dozen miniature flashlights is a great way to avoid that terrible fate.

At 1,200 lumens, they’re not exactly going to be giving anyone a tan, but the flashlights offer more than enough glow to help find the breaker box during a power outage, explore underneath a car seat after someone drops a lollipop, or help you navigate your trip to the bathroom if you don’t feel like using the hallway light. The flashlights also have an adjustable focus, a convenient clip to hang them from your belt or stick them to the visor in your car, and have three switchable modes: High, low and strobe (in case you want to get someone’s attention or throw a miniature, impromptu rave).

Now, great power may come with great responsibility, but these lights don’t come with batteries, and you’ll need one AA each to make them work.
