Need help finding the right flashlight

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Hello anyone reading this. I need some help finding a flashlight.

I am looking for a nice and solid weighty feel and about 15-25cm length and at least an inch thick. I don't like flashlights with a thin body and a very wide head that makes it look out of proportion. I don't mind what battery size it uses or how many batteries.

An example would be something like this. http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/ultrafire-rl2088-sst50-3mode-1200lumen-memory-led-flashlight-318650-p-5119

My price range is under $50. Please help a fellow flashaholic!

How about a P60 light like a WF-501B? That's 1" at the body, and a bit bigger at the head.

Maybe an L2I?

Or if you want something thicker, the CQG 3*18650. It's 60$ incl shipping though.

Maybe the TK35 clone?

This is one flashlight that I think it has the feeling you need, but over your budget

This one has 230grams so it's solid and built like a tank:

Another version, lighter and with a different design:

And this one is pretty solid, in case you consider a normal size flashlight but strongly built and a bit of weight:

Thanks for your help guys.

I've decided to get a Solarforce L2T.

I'm currently looking for accessories like the bezel and tail to make it more fierce and of course, bulky. :P

That looks like it could do some damage.

It will make your beam look somewhat funny though...

Solarforce L2T is a very nice host. That bezel will make the beam funny as DrJones says.

So you went from solid weighty feel to light and normal sized? :)

Hopefully this will feel right in my hand though. I have a few 501b's, according to the weights the L2T is 60g heavier and the replacement bezel and tailstand should add several more grams on.

I prefer to have some weight on flashlights because if it feels light then to me it feels kind of cheap. (like the feeling of a plastic flashlight)

EDIT: I'm not all too sure what the perfect flashlight for me would be, so i'm experimenting. Though I would've gone for something larger and heavier, my budget kept me searching for something else. I've been looking for a suitable flashlight for about 8 hours now. LOL
