I just have to add that I think the best 'bang for your buck', and one of the best overall, large(non-edc) flashlights is the Streamlight propolymer luxeon. Bright, durable, waterproof, excellent throw and spread, and runs on AAs, for only $24 at fox-intl.com . A really, really good light.
And for an edc light, a photon freedom, only $11 at alphanet.zoovy.com .

Note: I have no affiliation with anything above, I'm just a satisfied customer and recovering flashaholic.
