What are the current, truly quality budget offerings?

utorch UT-01 is a great $10 light, small, very bright, good UI

Astrolux S1/ BLF A6 is a great light, great UI, about $15-30, uses 18650 for good run time/brightness

I just checked Amazon and it looks like the sale is over. I paid 16.20 and received a $5.67 discount, $10.53 total on 1/30.

Just casting my vote for Thorfire and Convoy. No complaints about either. Solid builds and materials, legit Cree emitters, and they include extra O-rings and wrist lanyards. Really liking my thorfire D26, came with a nice protected 18650 and a nice USB charger. Although I prefer 26650 cells with it.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Helps a lot.
