Hi Krell,

When I was searching for a flashlight myself, I found a lot of great information on Flaslightreviews.com , for additional information, user opinions and user reviews try candlepowerforums.com

The following links discus some budged flashlight options: Flashlight for a College student and The poor flashaholics top 10?

I ended up with the following lights:

Keychain light: a Covert Photon Freedom MAX COVERT Photon Freedom MAX $15

Headlight: a Princeton Tec Quad $28

EDC: a Fenix L1, now availible with two levels of output as the Fenix L1t $43

The Fenix might sound a little high in price but is really worth saving for. It is very populair on many boards, it uses an aa battery, has an LED Bulb and a great beam shape.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

B.
