Streamlight makes a combo xenon and led surefire sized light now. Might want to look into one of them too.

I say this over and over, the Streamlight TL2 LED may be the best and most versatile tact light available. The whole light only costs $51.75 from:

Edit:
You can also buy Sanyo CR123 batts from the above for $1 each.
It is blindingly bright, it has essentially a constant intensity over the 150 minutes of full power run time and then I ran it for some 12 hours past that and it still gave a remarkably good light.
It's got a tail cap, rugged aluminum body with totally non-slip grooves and it's only 4.9 inches long. I carry one in my pocket constantly.
You owe it to yourself, save $10. Take a look at this:

The TL2 LED is Thunder Ranch's choice too.
Check out the Nuwai Q3. Same size as the E1e, uses a 3W Luxeon and single CR123, looks like it's brighter than the E1e, and costs $30.I feel under-sized compared to many folks but - my E1e is for me the dog's dangly bits No one yet has liked looking into it - in fact they call me names!
Euc,Euclidean said:Actually Tangle I want to try one of those sometime. See I want a good light to carry, a good one to leave in the vehicle, and a good one to leave by my pistol safe. I think next I'll get one of those and that way I'll have these 3 lights and I'll carry whichever one I like best.
I personally think that the filter in the Thunder Ranch illumination system is a little bit silly. Honestly, why do I need a green filter...? And I already have most of that stuff I don't need another Photon
Although I have to admit that's a good idea for a product to bundle it all together like that.
