About as cheap as they get. This Jobsmart host with a 75mm aspheric. tear out the 100 leds put in a XPG2 on a heatsink. The I.D. of this tube is the same as a maglite I believe, so there is plenty of options.
this thing could be complete for less than $60 if you can do your own heatsink.

I remember someone building this thing but used an XR-E. If you get an XP-G2 and de-dome it behind an aspheric lens, you'll get some good result. Just as Gtamazing said, you'll have to get a heatsink. If you want to go the extra mile, get waiven's collar. Saabluster managed to push 900,000 candella in his light.
You'll do a little over 200k candella with that giant 75mm aspheric setup. You'll have to find someone to machine you a heatsink and press-fit it into the host. I'd recommend copper as you will be driving the XP-G2 hard.
An easier method would be to take a C or D Maglite and built your own light engine using for example a XR-E and then just put in an aspherical lens from Kaidomain. For me I used a XR-E with the smaller EZ900 die and you get plenty of throw.+

Do you want to build one your self or just buy one?
