Those are the four relevant criteria. Tail standing would be a big plus. By affordable, I mean not exotic (even though I drool at Tains, Hankus, etc.).
More flood, the better. Even a mule is fine.

Tough on for a 10440 size, custom tool like Ladd suggested , maybe with no reflector on copper ......

Would stainless steel do? If so, Gearbest is selling a Budget Light Forum group buy 348. It will run on a single AAA or a 10440, has a Nichia 219B emitter, and is under $10 with free shipping. It does get hot rapidly with a 10440 due to the stainless steel, but with a AAA it works just fine.

Thanks for the replies. The TNC's are gorgeous, but I'm trying to keep the budget under $75.
I'm going for copper, both for the looks & the heat sinking.
I have a powerful TOOLvn modded to put out 500 lumen off a 10440, so this one's all about style & the Nichia beam quality.
