[NewlandPhotography]

Hey Ya'll,
I'm in the market to purchase a single battery CR123 Flashlight and I would like to know what is the smallest(under 3.5 inches), brightest, tactical style light with a clicky i can buy for under $50?( unless for a little more i can get a lot better of a light?)


so far the one closest to my needs and price that i have found is the Jetbeam BC10.
(best price on it i found so far was $39.00)


Can any of you recommend another light or am i in the correct direction for purchase?

NOTE: I would also be willing to take a "AA" style light as well since it will be thiner in my pocket.

Hi,a Lumapower Incendio V3u is a very small powerful light it has 350 emitter lumens , 3.0 inches & it costs $49.95 at battery junction
& i've got a feeling you'd get it cheaper if you shop around:)

The Zebralight SC30 is a tiny clicky...awesome light. You might have to find it used to get under $50 though.

Found it for $49: http://high-mountain-outfitters.com/ZebraLight-SC30-ZSC30.htm

I forgot to mention I would like to use Lithium batteries and not rechargeables.

You can get a Quark Mini 123 for under $40 and add a clicky tail and still be under $50.

The Quark MiNi 123 doesn't Lego with a tail cap. It is made to be a twisty light.

The official runtime with 3,7V Lithium batteries are 35 minutes on max.
With CR123 @3V you get 150 lumen for 75 minutes.
