What is a good, cheap light that would make a good gift for someone not into flashlights? I'm leaning toward power LEDs and common battery types (123a is kinda pushing it... they won't be able to find them cheap) for ease of ownership.
So far, I've got Inova X1s as not really bright enough, and X5s as really only cheap enough if you find them on clearance, and Surefire G2s okay, but battery hogs.
The Jetbeam C-LE v2 is a bit on the expensive side for this thing, but... again, this is something to impress the hell out of someone who doesn't know flashlights.
Your thoughts?
