Or "torches" to most places other than North America.

A fun net with 32 check in and over 80 flashlights within arms reach. I was clearly preaching to the choir about the importance of having a flashlight readily at hand. It was a really fun evening talking about different bulbs and batteries and sizes and uses. We really only scratched the surface so maybe we should do it again!

Links to a few of my favorite flashlights:
