Tactical flashlight on Amazon. Because of its small size, you can control it with just one hand!

I bought a discounted zoom light, but it was left-handed. (Kidding, of course)

There are lots of cheap, bright, zoom lights available. Many have a holder for three AAA batteries. I prefer a single AA. Unfortunately, when I buy a set of them, they don't all work.

They sell them in sets because you have better odds of getting one that will work.

Definitely.

Lights like these work surprisingly well, especially for the price.

I believe they meant "zoom" not zoon.

Ah but can they set fire to paper? that seems to be the current test of brightness-at least some adds seem to say so.

Have recently bought set of three, came with 3 batteries for each and all work very well.
Sad fact is it's the switch that fails soonest. I've got half a dozen with bad switches, and all are just a tad different so you can't use switches interchangeably........

You should be proud. It's very difficult to actuate the zoon ring with only one hand.
