What light do you use?

Please remove my account. This forum sucks.
Delivering in the pitch black, in my very limited experience, is something that one has to address before one has to deliver after 5 or so. The neighborhoods I deliver to have zero street lighting.
I've used head mounted type lights for other jobs in the past and was never happy with them.
I recently purchased a "chest" light and it doesn't impress me. It has the batteries and a flashing red light in the back. This doesn't work well in a passenger vehicle. I ordered a cap light that looks really promising. It's rechargeable and only weighs a few ounces PLUS it pivots so I can clip it to my UPS vest.
I also made my own chest light but I haven't tested it yet.
What do ya'll use?

The flashlight built into the diad. Lol.

If UPS wanted me to have a flashlight, they'd give me one.

I use the inner light I get from Jeebus.

I’m sure to only use company provided equipment. Fumbling around with the cheesy diad light amounts to way more OT
