On what type, kind, style(?) of flashlight do we need to feel it necessary to use protected cells?

I’d say that it’s necesssary to use protected cells in any light that uses cells in series, and it’s advisable to use protected cells in any single-cell light without low-voltage cutout, such as those that can take either AA or 14500 cells.

Should protected cells be used in lights that use multiple-cells in parallel?
