The best light is no light. I hate buying batteries! Get some white mailbox reflector tape stick it on your flag and wrap it around your flag pole. I cut a narrow strip about 3/4" wide 3" long and place it horizontally on the flag. shined with a mag light you can see this for 100+ yards.

I fish Lake Scugog in Port Perry Ontario. This was my wife's idea and it works great. She also loves to go ice fishing. We take a medium glass jar and drill holes in the top of the lid. Inside we put a candle and place it near the tipup. It works great. We also use orange reflector tape on the tipup for added visibility.

Here's an even easier way to detect a flag with reflective tape, use two pieces spaced 6-8" apart on the flag so that when the flag is down you'll see the tapes side by side, and they will be vertical when the flag is tripped. This allows you to see a strike from farther away at night, giveing you more options on covering a piece of structure thouroughly. Jon
