After doing a bit of looking around and seeing a few youtube videos, for a general purpose cheap flashlight that floods, I picked up a skyray king for about 35.00 ( without batteries ) that does quite well for the little I spent on it. No, it doesn't come close to the 5000 lumens they say etc. but, it's probably just shy of 2000.
My purpose for the light is just a walking around light that I can light up large areas and put in a glovebox of the kawasaki mule and look for things I've lost or misplaced in the dark. ( since I live out in the country ) ... It's about the size of a soda can and it's basically a cheap light with large lumen count that is extremely floody but, that works for lighting up an entire field in front of me for 100yds or so and, it's hard to beat for that price and purpose.
Sure, I'll probably replace it with something else more expensive but, for now, it lives outside in the glovebox of the mule and, I won't be heartbroken if it breaks.
