best budget light in category : value for money

I joined here about 3 months ago and have bought about 20 flashlights, based on threads here.

I have three P60 hosts including the L2P with Manafont 3 mode XM-L dropin and coated glass lens installed.

For the XM-L, the C8 style light with the bigger reflector is a far greater performer and does not suffer from the heat transfer problems that all P60 types do.

If I were starting over, I would still get my Xeno E03 but I would skip past the P60 types and go for the C8 size.

I have the KD C8 now and like it so well that I have stepped up in quality by ordering an XinTD C8 also.

I have the UF-2100 and am very happy with it also.

In AAA size, I am very happy with my BLF special edition light, it's a great deal @ $15 with the BLF discount. Old4570 reviews it here...
