I was wondering when someone was going to mention something like that. My son bought low cost LED nightlights to put in strategic areas in his house but my house is so lit up from the outside I don't need anything inside. If you have to go outside to check on anything, outside floodlights are the answer. Flashlights are like Murphy's law on tracers. They work both ways.
I thought of a gimmick a couple of years ago. It was a "light grenade". Push the button and throw. Two or three seconds later the high intensity light comes on. After the section is cleared, just pick it up, [you can't lose it] shut the light off and repeat.

I think a "light grenade" that goes on on impact with the ground is very feasible, why not? They could even be disposable, or stay on bright for only a set time, say one minute.
I really like outside motion detector triggered lights, esp those that are independent of house power and run on solar charged batteries. They will still work if your house power is cut.
