EDC torches – talk to me

Talk to me about the best, most reliable torches that take regular (not rechargeable) batteries.

Most Fenix, Olight, Nitecore, Astrolux, Chineseium torches are going the other way to rechargeables. I've replaced most of my most used torches so that they take 18650, 21700 or 26650 basically because of the power available compared to alkaline batteries.
