Well, if you can stretch the budget to $20, I'd recommend the PrincetonTec Attitude. It's a 3 LED flashlight, runs on 4 AAAs, it light and bright. Available at many outdoors stores.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I have both Attitude and Clipper 3. I would prefer clipper 3 for the same price of Attitude (may be even higher). Don't get me wrong, Attitude is a great LED light. It just happens that Clipper 3 is better for my usage - brighter, smaller, less wastage on battery, clipped on my belt and point to front hand free. No, it is not waterproof as Attitude (only water/weather resistant). If you use your LED in wet environment, go get Attitude.
However, I would highly recommend Rage (the incandescent version of Attitude). This is one hell of small and bright (for its size) light. I love Rage so much and get a second one right on the next day I got the first one.
I just got back from a night hiking with my Clipper 3, Rage, E2, UKD4, 9AN and UltraStinger (don't ask me why I carried so many lights).
