Best torch that use 2xAA battery under $50

[bored7one4]

I saw the Fenix E20 High Performance Adjustable Cree LED Flashlight for $27 on amazon but since my budget is around $50 I was wondering what the best choice out there for me and where to get it from?



thanks

For $27 get it! use the rest to buy batteries/charger combo. Great starter flashlight, heck i use mine all the time.

I like the ICON Rogue II in that price range. It is quite excellent and I have been using it all around the house.

an alternative would be the Fenix TK20 from 4sevens, 2 modes and tough as nails.

I am personally not a huge proponent of the 2AA format, if you want something really bright... 175L OTF is pretty much the ceiling. So you generally not looking at CPF retina scorchers in this power category. Shelf the brighter is better ideology a little and look into the TK20, it does so many things superbly, besides lumen output. Its the only 2AA light I would consider buying.

Agreed on the TK20.

It's got decent throw, a nice mix of hi-low, feels solid as a rock.

Another vote for the TK20. If I lost mine I would definitely replace it.
