Particularly with disposable lithium batteries. It's not the approach I take (I always have a light in my pocket), but it makes a lot of sense.

In the incan versions, lithiums blew out the bulbs faster, unfortunately. Also, Energizer has recently jacked up the prices of lithium AA/AAA cells to annoying levels. I wonder why no one else makes them. Oh well, there are still CR123A's.
