Most of the time for camping, work (EMT) and kayaking I use ARC LS light and Inova X5. I will have a small headlight such as Zipka or Tikka as well. They are not the brightest or most powerful lights out there. I would like to buy a more powerful light but the key is that it has to be compact for everyday carry. I was looking at Galls HALO and it seemed like a good choice but I know that Surefire makes some really great products too. I want to keep the price under $75, more if light can be upgraded to rechargable.
