I use ITP lights. I think they are the most bang for the buck out there. They are from the same company as Olights.
Also, the Olight m30 is 700 lumens--more than you could ever need!

Set my eyes on the M20 Warrior from your website, Derrick. I'm gettin' one from my birthday. Specs look awesome on that beauty, not to speak that it's a lot cheaper than a Surefire Aviator. Now, if you'd only had a Spyderco Military on stock, I'd get my entire birthday list from ya.

Good choice, mate. I've been carrying M20 for nearly a year now. To tell the truth I was looking into Surefire but their line is way too pricey. I don't plan on mounting it on a gun so I think Olight will be tough enough for me. I let it fell head down and tail down on concrete quite a few times already and it still works like charm. Some of the finish chipped off from the drops but so far no other scratches so I think their coating is reliable and it keeps on working. The run time is excellent also.

Try the Fenix TK11 R2 on a 18650, 3 hours runtime on 240 lumens.
Surefire is overpriced and old techniques imho.

I have both the TK11 R2 & olight M20 R2.the olight out classes the fenix it throws farther
much better beam fit & finish better stainless striking bezel nicer holster fits better in the hand.the fenix is a great light but the olight is everything I wanted the fenix to be.
yes I bought the fenix frist,wish I haden't.

Another vote here for olight. I've got both the M20 Warrior and the M30. Both are very nice lights. Now I've got my eyes out for a good deal on the i10 which I think is one of their newer lights. Very compact light with adjustable brightness from 6 to 205 lumens, I think.
All of the olights seem very well made. The amount of light you get from the M30 (max 700 lumens) is unreal. I don't have any association with olight, but will admit to becoming something of a fanboy of theirs.
I think an i10 would fit the OP's needs very well.

I prefer SF lights, made in the US local company amazing warranty.
If you don't dig the design, HDS/Novatac (now HDS is doing it's own thing but they make almost the same light as Novatac, as Novatac took over HDS's line but HDS came back with a similar new line)
4sevens should have a good warranty. That's just the text of it, but he has a great standing on candlepowerforums and relies a lot on good customer relationships.
