I've been carrying a Nitecore EX10 for several months now and I love it. It's super bright on the highest, but perfect night light at lowest. I also purchased a pocket clip to attach and I use it occasionally, but lately I just stick it in my pocket and it melts away. I believe I payed ballpark $70 for the light, pocket clip, & some extra batteries from 4sevens.

I've got a Fenix LD20 and like it a lot. A big plus is that it uses AA batteries. The LD20 uses two AAs, so it's a little long, but I think you'd like the LD10 which runs on one AA battery.

Fenix LD10

Good luck in your search...

Fenix LD01. I have two and think they're a heck of a mini light especially considering the price you can get them for.

Edit: Sorry typed that from my phone earlier and had the wrong #.

I've got the D10 (essentially the same light as the EX, just a little bigger and uses AA's), I haven't carried it much though (no particular reason) and it's a great light.

I got it off of E-bay (had a gift cert, otherwise would have ordered from 4-7's)

I'm considering getting another larger nitecore to use as a house/nightstand light.....
I'm also thinking about checking out one of the new "Quark" series 4-7's is selling

There are several companies out there making very nice lights for cheaper...but in my opinion...Surefire just gets it right more often. They are a little more expensive..but affordable if you look. My first light was a Surefire E2e. I now have given it to my Fiancee for her purse. I EDC a Surefire E1L. The E2D is an excellent choice.

I carry a Streamlight micro stream daily for work and it is a nice small (yet bright ) light. It only uses 1 AAA battery too. A search for lights should give you all sorts of ideas too.

I second the Fenix. I carry a PD20 everyday. They are GREAT lights. Strike bezels, strobe, multiple light modes. I highly suggest looking for one.
