Pole... with a light in the end - MagLite Standard 6 D Cell Flashlight

Great torch to use, very bright, good battery life. Best in outdoor areas (forests etc.) where you can use the extra weight to aid in balance when bushwalking. Bit too lengthy for indoor areas though - I'd definitely go a smaller size for leaving in a car.
Pros: Great feel when outdoors in non-urban areas
Cons: Bit ungainly in terms of length for urban/car use
