Walking to and from a stand.......Streamlight Stylus. stealthy little sucker.
For tracking I have a high power Xenon Cabela's 120 lumen lithium powered job. Doesn't run long on the batteries...an hr at most but it's bright enough to drop a low flying plane.
If I really need a light for extended tracks it's a lantern with a reflector.
I just recently bought a Surefire Light, the P9 I believe, and it has to be the brightest light I have ever seen. Now that is a backup light I would use when walking in, but when I need to see, that is the one I would use. I have a Browning light with the red lens I use for walking in and setting up

I have this little G2 Nitrolon that was bought for me as a Christmas present a couple years back. I think it sells for right around $40. Bright as all get out...65 Lumens if I remember correctly but it uses those little Lithium batteries and only gives you about 60 minutes of continuous light. Still, unless you walk a pretty good distance to your stand it lasts a long time.
I also use a nice little headlamp I picked up down at the local outdoors shop. I couldn't tell you the brand or model but I am very happy with its performance.
walkin in and out- rayovac head lamp....2LED soft white, 1 LED soft red.....light weight and the head swivels up and down
tracking.....craftsman 19.2V flourescent work light that runs for hours on end without dimming with a 19.2V power tool battery...shows blood a lot better than a normal flashlight
I have a couple of others I use occasionally. My name is Justin, and I have a flashlight addiction. I love flashlights of all shapes and sizes and have a tendency to buy them even when I do not need them
I use a Smith & Wesson LED flashlight that is a little bigger than a mini Mag Light. It has 3settings on it, green LED's, red LED's, and then bright white LED's. I typically use the red when walking in, and the white makes blood really glisten in the light. Last year when tracking Rob's doe, he got to see how much better that little light was compared to a 6 cell Mag Light. It really seems to illuminate the blood and make it almost glisten.

Yes, that was nice especially since I was gimped up.
In and out, I use a Streamlight Stylus as well. Fantastic in and out light.
For tracking, I've never really invested in any lights. I should because I am kinda into it. I have grabbed my work light from my utility van, it's the brightest I've ever seen but it's bulky. [&:]
What's your favorite light?
