It might not be the brightest thing but AA lights are great to keep in your car for emergencies because of the long standby times and their resistance to extreme temps
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.
