Taking a hint from your name, have you looked at the Fenix L1D Q5 or LD10?

What Type Of Battery Are You Wanting To Use?

Forward Clicky? Reverse Clicky?

Do You Need Li-Ion Compatibility?

love fenix lights but want to be a little more diverse

 

[fenix-rules]

i really dont care what battery it uses but i do want a forward clicky

Get some more money and buy a RA Twisty 85-TR for $140 on Battery Station.

It includes 5 CR123A batteries and a Pelican case custom made to hold the Twisty and the five batteries.

Then disregard my last post.

Maybe the RA Clicky.

It's definitely out of your budget, but it should be worth the extra money.

The Nitecore D10 sounds like a good match for you. Single AA, $54 shipped, 130 lumens high. Forward acting clicky(its a PD so the clicky can be turned into a twisty and momentary also) Good luck in your search@

wow that nitecore d10 looks really cool might get that one

Even better, get an EX10. Same brightness, but smaller than the D10, longer runtimes, stainless bezel, runs on primary or rechargeable 123s. :twothumbs

L0D Q4?

With it's output and runtime it's a better size for EDC, or in addition to a larger single cell AA or 123 sized light.

forward clicky?

JET III ST... Somewhat >$60

EagleTac P10A is worth considering.

Bright on Alkaline and NiMh
Good runtime
Simple 2mode via head twist
Forward clickie
Can tailstand
Removeable clip
Very smooth beam
Good spill beam
Holster included
Quality construction
Under $60

It's my favourite AA light by a huge margin.

If you can afford twice the moola, a Surefire E1B Backup is great.

If you want to stay with your namesake, a P2d Q5 Premium is pretty good... sheath and everything - get your own CR123s, of course (Check a gun store locally for S-F CR123s - all carry them for 2/$5 or less.).

Another vote for the D10 or EX10. I have both and love them.

I think the EX10/D10 is possibly the best bet in you're price range.

Pick up an iTP C9R from the Marketplace or from shiningbeam.com (if you're in the USA) and grab a forward clicky for it (+$6.75). It takes a CR/RCR123, and you can also use the same head for the C7(AA) and C8(2xAA) bodies - also available at Shiningbeam. Add a C8 holster for $4.95.
Continuously variable, idiot-proof output from 2-max lumens, nice hotspot and beam color plus strobe and SOS, but it has memory so you don't have to deal with either if you don't want.
The whole shebang will set you back around $80.
I have this setup listed above and it's a great value. I EDC a C9 using a Fenix P1D holster and it does pretty much everything I want when I need light and stays out of the way on the belt when I don't.

The ITP C9R is an excellent light, but as is, there is no separate tail cap. Get a C7 body tube and a forward clicky and then you can also use a AA with the head.

Which is why I recommended that for ~$80 he could use any battery config.
Read it again.

Why do you keep telling the OP to buy twice the price light he's looking for? Sixty bucks may be stretching his budget. For a lot of people $60.00 is an insane amount to pay for a flashlight.
