This was recommended in another thread. It has a cap to put over the light because it's so bright. I've been in a brightly lit trauma bay and still get a good pupillary response.

The batteries last four to five years, and they are replaceable. At this point I've decided not to buy one for other reasons, but here are some details on a unit from Amazon that is the $1,000 range. It can be purchased with a a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA).

This is the penlight that I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00359PS3M?keywords=penlight&qid=1451877795&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3
Very bright, light weight, cheap, and cleans with a wipe.

Sambas.
super comfortable, grippy, and stylin.
No foot pain.
I'm assuming you're in the US; if so, the Oxford American Handbook of Emergency Medicine is a fantastic pocket-sized EM bible. (Well, I assume it is! I can only vouch for the version that spells "colour" with a U.)
EMS Field Guide, ALS Version
In a paramedic program right now, carry this for reference. Also, look up your state's protocols for EMS providers.

Set of shears that you'll lose a few months in.
Mini-mag
Mini-eye chart (or an app for that).
Some sort of guide that breaks up differentials by presentations / symptoms - EM BASIC pdf or Pocket notebook
A sense of humor.
