What is the best led flashlight under $20

Juan334 · Aug 21, 2011

I am using an inova x1 right now I like how compact it is and how it uses a AA battery

So I don't care about what brand it is and atleast a little better than the inova x1 and I also use eBay alot so if you find something on eBay I can go for cheap

I would buy the E05 by Fenix.

Get an Ultrafire Stainless C3 - like $14... Bright enough... Looks cool... and is durable and fairly well made - as well as easily upgradeable...
AA batteries!

Costco is selling a 3 pack of led flashlights. 150 lumens! H,L, Strobe modes. (3) AAA batteries included. Tactical style with dangerous bezel. A guy over at BLF did a video review. He went gaga over these lights! He said you could expect to pay around $80 for one of these. Not sure about that but 's one heck of a deal. Sorry I don't have a link....

How about a Solarforce L2r AA 320 3 mode R5 XP-G led comes in about $21.99 very bright and AA batteries.

Are you using the newest Inova X1, the version with 2 brightness levels?

flatline · Aug 21, 2011

If you're using the latest Inova X1 (2 levels: 55L and 6L), then you're already using a pretty decent <$20 light. Unless you're looking for a different power source (say, AAA or 2xAA), you're not going to find a 1xAA light for <$20 that is significantly better than the X1.

If you are looking for something different, the ITP (now Olight) AAA models are hard to beat for the $$$. Don't really know what's available in 2xAA format.

I have the x1 with one setting I do like the c3 whatever it was is that one stronger than the x1

the Akoray k-106 is a pretty good deal. I had the older 3 mode programmable version, though it doesn't look like you can get that anymore at kaidomain or dealextreme. Dealextreme has the 6 and 5 modes for just over $10. Great little AA flashlight

Would this have gotten more replies if posted in the "Budget Light" Forum ?

how about a Romisen RC-G2 R5. $19.75. They claim up to 150 lumens but comparing it to my Fenix LD20 it's probably around 90. However the fenix is using NiMH and the romisen is just using alkaline. With NiMH the romisen might be a bit brighter, I'll have to try when I get some more eneloops

One of the shiningbeam Romisen lights... RC-N3 or G2. Right around ~$20-25. there might be a CPF coupon code too. You'll have to look at the marketplace for that though.

Consider the newest version Inova X1. I has 2 brightness levels and the high (55 lumen) setting is considerably brighter than the older version X1. It looks the same physically as most of the earlier versions.
