An outstanding, inexpensive, U.S. brand flashlight is Energizer® Ultimate 1 AA LED Flashlight.

Don't let the listed 65 lumens fool you. It performs about as well as the Fenix LD10, but slightly bigger. It's solid as a rock and waterproof. I've heard rumors about people seeing it in-store at Kohl's as a Christmas special, 4 for $24. I would have bought a bunch of these if I had known.

EDIT: On second thought, I'm going to pick some of these up and spread some more Christmas cheer.
