I agree with Darkaz, Inova is a no go for me. I am a huge flashlight guy, with 7 Surefire Lights, and many others. They are the best light to buy. They are bright, great foucsed beam, and damn near indistructible.
Just for camping, and general use, I would HIGHLY suggest the Surefire G3. at $36 (average), it is 60 lumens, a tought synthetic kyndex like exterior, and the cool factor is way up there.
The ONLY drawback to a quality tactical light is the price of the batteries. Surefire uses the cr123 lithium. DONY buy their batteries, way to expensive. These style batteries are the best, high performance, and a 10 year shelf life!!!! But a high price... up to $5 a battery!!! (G3 takes 2, lasts about an hour at full brightness). I buy 50 batteries, at $50 at http://www.lapolicegear.com the best price around, they are a generic brand, but they last and perform just as well as a surefire, duracell ect... I buy from them quite often, and many differnt products, and they are great to deal with!
The price of batteries.....
That is why I switched to rechargeable.
Never going back now.
A good rechargeable like tigerlight will make you realize that there is no other flashlight. Atleast with the premium battery pack.
Surefire used to be my favorite as well.
