I'm poor so keep it around $30. All it has to do is shine a light, that's it. I don't need some crazy air craft aluminum case, or some crazy strike bezel for hitting people, or anything "tactical". I just want a decent flashlight for shining light on things. |

Here you go - buy a half dozen of them. http://www.amazon.com/UltraFire-300lm-Flashlight-Torch-Adjustable/dp/B006E0QAFY/ref=sr_1_1?s=hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1444278948&sr=1-1&keywords=cree+flashlight |

Edit: Dammit man you beat me by 30 damn seconds! The post above has it nailed.
I have a bunch of those $3 LED lights from Amazon. Very bright, have not drained batteries, and have not let me down yet. I have more expensive lights as well for emergencies and tactical/self defense that cost a lot more and I would be more comfortable betting my life on them. If you seriously simply need it to shine a light on stuff pick up one of two of the $3 jobs and give it a go. |

Convoy C8 with dedomed XM-L2 U2 1A LED for $24.50.
You'll need a quality 18650 li-ion cell and a decent li-ion charger, so add another $18 for those, but you'd have a nifty thrower for not a lot of cash. http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=80&product_id=427 Chris |

What batteries you want to feed the light? Do ya want it on a keychain? Todays lights are unreal...you can get 60 or more lumens on just one aaa battery. Look at these few brands...fenix, streamlights, preon, shit...a nice cheap keychain is a tube light made by night ize, you charge it by usb cord...love those under 10 bucks and work real good. Light as hell and tough.
One thing to consider....get one that uses batteries that you will be able to find anywhere. |
