1xAA budget light with tailstand, modern LED, good low mode, and pocket clip?

Wow, you guys are wonderful. Thanks for the fantastic response! So, let me try to respond to some of these suggestions so far:

@Kreisler: Yep, the Eagletac D25A is a beauty, that’s for sure. But the thing is, there are no Eagletac dealers that ship to where I live. And furthermore, sometimes I want to buy a decent flashlight for a friend or family member, and I would never give away anything this nice or this expensive to somebody who doesn’t know or appreciate flashlights. (Yep, I’m stingy. See the name of this website. )

@stevetexas: Thanks for the suggestion. The L10 looks nice, but I prefer clickies and I really like a pocket clip. Also SBflashlights doesn’t ship to where I live, despite its name being similar to my “SB55637” username.

@jacktheclipper: You rock!
I love my Uniquefire AA-S1 even with the standard OSRAM emitter, but as you mentioned the lack of modes is a bit of a bummer.
I forgot about Balder, they do have some decent options. I think I like the HD-1 a bit better, because the SE-1 doesn’t appear to tailstand. But the HD-1 is starting to get into more expensive territory. What’s a good Balder dealer that has free international shipping? CNQ?

@RedForest UK: Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I personally avoid Thrunite because of their dishonest business practices.

Oooh. I always assumed that you WERE the SB as in SBflashlights :)…

$10 in the pot from me to get sb a way too expensive light he did not ask for :-D. If we can collect enough we can have a mcgizmo tailormade

maybe even a tritium tail switch.
the admin of this board deserves something to be able to look at and hold in his hand that shows just how much we appreciate the community he has started

SWM V10R Ti with BLF text and AA adapter from EU -> no Finnish customs & VAT

About $220 + modding with Nichia 219 4500K High CRI (~$5) + shipping to Mr. Admin ($??)

Maybe not the cheapest one, but the laser engraved BLF-text would be a nice addition.

This exchange, plus the fact that our friend Kreisler deleted his first post, brought such joy to my day and reminded me that this is a great and fun place because of great and fun people. What a bunch of characters.

I’m in for $20, but not clear who is handling the details… Scaru, the, someone else? Who ever it is, please PM the necessary info to get the funds where they need to go.

As for SBs question, I like the Olight i2 EOS. Just slightly more than your $20 ceiling, but not by much. Since the Eastward you linked to is at $20.50, I figured I could go a little over too.

I’ll throw in a couple duckets… just need to know who and how….

Wow, what a response to this thread! If I had to pick, the Eagletac D25A Clicky neutral bin is much harder to get here where I live because no seller ships it, and a lot cheaper than the V10R Ti. I found the Sunwayman V10R-U2 (not Ti) at FastTech at such a good price that I’m actually considering buying it myself.

As for the original question, I add the Lumapower lm 31, I do not own one, but the specs are just right (with a real low low!) and I like the design and size. It is not under $20 though, more mid-price.
