As for general usage, 80 bucks light would be too expensive.
The Fenix MC10 that cost 40-50 bucks would be my limit.
Any more suggestion there?
If you are in the U.S.A. then you might try this for a fairly inexpensive, but versatile and long running utility\worklight:

Available at Lowes for less than ten bucks.
From the same display at Lowes, you can also pick up a Nighteyze 1W LED replacement bulb for around 12 bucks if memory serves.
The Nighteyze dropin will provide around 30 lumens of easily steerable output for close to medium distance work. Being driven by 2D cells it will run for a long, long time with barely perceptible dimming.
Note that I haven't picked up one of these Rayovac 2D swivelights yet, so am working from memory of CPF reviews from several years ago.
I have picked up a few of the Nighteyze 1W dropins at Lowes. Have installed them in various 2D and 2AA lights. They put out a decent amount of light, typically more than the stock incan bulb, but the output can be a bit ringy in certain lights. Work best in lights with OP or faceted reflectors. Their runtime in 2D lights is amazing.
Hope this helps.
