What lightweight, practical flashlights would people recommend?

I want something that I could use while camping, dog walking, and general day-to-day tasks (finding something under the bed for example). Currently I use my phone torch, which isn't particularly practical. My previous (battery powered) torches have died after too short a space of time - I want something that will last.

One with a clip would be handy, so I could attach it to a cap.

I see lots of ones online with insane lumens. 1000 lumens seems like overkill for my purposes!

Not too worried about price (within reason!)

I don't carry it everyday so I can't speak to long term durability in that case but I have one of these and like it a lot. The bottom is magnetic so I can stick it to things when I'm working on the car or under my desk or in a PC and the head swivels which is nice to get light where you need it. It's also plenty bright for looking around outside at night.
