Great question! I'd guess they'll provide you whatever flashlights you need, but ...

If you are buying for yourself, the main thing is to make sure that you can turn it on and off, and hold and use it comfortably, while wearing mittens. You may not wear mittens often (I couldn't stand them except for long snowmobile trips where they were mandatory) ... but if you can activate the light with mittens on, then you can do it with gloves on.

This would probably rule out the little AA light I carry these days. But I would take it anyway, even if I were only gonna keep it near my bed. You will likely never experience a power outage down there, but should always be ready for one. When it happens, light is the first thing you need, so keep plenty of light sources handy! Having been through a few Arctic power outages, I am still a little nutty about this.

My Arctic time ended before LEDs changed the flashlight world; I typically carried something like this and/or this. I kept two flashlights in my outer parka pockets at all times. One for me, and one for whoever wanted to borrow my light.

I tried headlamps but always had two problems. First, headlamps and parka hoods do not get along well. Either the lamp catches on the hood in awkward ways, or the hood obscures the light. Things get more complex if you're wearing a trapper hat, which I did if I planned to be outside for more than 20 minutes. Second, I never found one that I could switch on/off with heavy gloves on. It's a great idea, but I could never make it work well for me.

Speaking of gloves. Get a few pairs of something like these to wear inside your gloves/mittens. If you work outside, there will be times when you have to take your big gloves off to do something fiddly. These won't keep your hand very warm, but they will help. Pay close attention to how they fit around the finger tips; you want as much dexterity as you can get. Ideally, you'd be able to type (you know, on a keyboard) for short periods with gloves on! This is another thing that didn't exist during my time in the arctic; we got along with wool glove inserts and a lot of fumbling around. Now that I think about it, these might solve the headlamp problem.

Unless your work has something specifically to do with water, don't worry about wet conditions. In polar winters, those pretty much only happen in the bathroom or kitchen.

This is great information, thank-you!

I ended up picking up a Black Diamond ReVolt since it can use rechargeable lithium batteries, and another Cree LED-based handheld light rated for water exposure. I'm leaving this morning so it's probably too late to pick up supplemental gloves, but might be able to get something in Chile.

It was interesting trying to purchase lights for the trip, I'm on the Ocean Search and Rescue team so trying to find cold weather, waterproof, rechargeable flashlights was an interesting niche.

Thanks again for advice! If you went before LED's it must've been back in the early 2000's?
