1.No flashlights here... maybe I should change that. Now that I think about it, how the hell did I spend >$150 on a laser and not have a normal light in this range?:whoopin:
2.Quark AA^2 tactical-$52.44
3.Maratac AAA
4.The FREE coin cell light I got by ordering a battery from lighthound.... I was like, "Oh hey, they included one of those crappy coin cell LEDs". Well, to my surprise, it was not only quite bright, but had adjustable output too. Ahh, the beauty of SOIC microcontrollers :huh:

$100+ Ra Clicky high CRI
$10-$50 Quark MiNi AA neutral white

Add a couple of Maglites and that's pretty much the extent of my "collection".

1. Best $100+ light: SUNWAYLED M40A... it's also the only one I have over $100 and it was free! On my wishlist is a high CRI Ra Clicky though

2. Best $51-$99 light: Fenix LD20+ Premium Q5

3. Best $10-$50 light: Fenix LD01. I was going to put my Shiningbeam Romisen RC-29 because that is a nice light for so little money but the Fenix is the one on my car keys that gets used all the time.

4. Best <$10 light: not sure, probably one of those free clicky ones from lighthound

1. Best $100+ light: Surefire LX2

2. Best $51 to $99 light: Quark AA Titanium XP-G R5. Or maybe Quark 2x123 Tactical R2 (love the extra throw and the tint of the older R2 Quarks).

3. Best $10 to $50 light: Quark MiNi AA <- My most used light simply because it's always on my keys and so is always at hand

4. Best <$10 (under ten) light: I've got a couple of Nuwai 1xAA clicky lights that are <$10 that I use as loaners. Besides the very blue tint, they work pretty well, are simple single mode (so no explaining them to people when I loan them) and they're easy on batteries.

PS. Not sure what the OP intends exactly, but these are my personal favourite in each category of the lights I currently own
