I have a nitecore EA4. About the size of an empty toilet paper roll. 4 settings (the brightest being 860 lumens) and several strobe settings. Got it for about 70 bucks.
It's as bright as advertised with a great hotspot and a lot of spill. It's like a floodlight and a spotlight mix on steroids in a small package.
Also, the stickied "new here?" Thread has a link to a good flashlight thread

Have the same. It's awesome. Can be had for around $50 now though I believe.

Energizer LED headlamp. I don't understand how I ever hunted/fished without the head lamp type lights. That being said, do NOT get the kind with the side-to-side switch on them. Those 100% guaranteed will turn on in your backpack on accident every 2/3 times you go out.
ETA: obviously this is not for a spotlight type light. this is for utility & ease of use.

Nitecore, fenix or 4sevens. Out perform surefires at half the cost.

I have a Streamlight Stinger and I like it. It's bright enough to where I don't need a QBeam running out to the marsh in the dark during duck season and it's got adjustable power. The lower powers are better for tracking deer and stuff. Kinda pricy, but worth it.

Stream lights are awesome! I have 4 or 5 different ones and they all rock. Stream light tac x shines far.

I use the cheap lights that come in a pack of 3 from Sams. They are led and last forever. I have never broken one but I lose them like crazy so I buy several packs a year. They are several hundred lumens. I keep 2 in my truck, one on my bike, several at the camp, one at work....
My tactical light, Eagletac G2. 1200 or so lumens with a dim and strobe option. Great light and very reasonably priced. Much cheaper than any Streamlight or Surefire. I run rechargeable batteries in mine too.
The Eagletac is the go to light on candlepower forum. You'll have to Google it, on phone and cannot remember exactly address.
Warning, visiting candlepower forum will cost you money.

Costco has some duracell flashlights that I really like. They have 2 combos: one with 2 500 lumen lights and one with 3 250 lumens. I think the 2 500 was 25 bucks for the pair and around the same price for the other combo

I got a Led Lenser P7 and H5 combo on Woot for $25, that I really like. The set included 2 sets of batteries. The P7 by itself is around $40.

I typically like the lights made by pelican (same folks who make pelican cases)....
they are not tactical type lights but they are bright and damn near indestructible....I have one in every vehicle and one in my blind bag....
my favorites are the 2000 series of lights that use 3 C-cell batteries...

I got one of those baseball hats with the lights in it for Christmas. It is cool as hell, but I have no idea how to replace the batteries
