We use these at work. Great little light with a rotating magnetic clip that can be had for between $9-$15 depending on where you buy it and which model you get. Pretty damn bright.

Just an update. -
I went with the Maglite XL50. It is very bright and looks to be high quality. It is rated at 139 lumens and 6.5 hrs of battery life.
For comparison I had a a standard Minimag LED (77 lumens) a 240 Lumen Rayovac and a 230 lumen Chinese Cree LED light.
The XL 50 put out the best light of them all. It was significantly brighter than the Minimag. Between the other two, the differnece wasnt so much in brightness as it was in "light quality" I really dont know what else to call it.
The cheap chinese light washed out very quickly. It was very bright up close, but the light just didnt reach very far. The rayovac was much better, throwing a good beam out to 40 or 50 yardsm but at that distance the XL 50 seemed to be brighter.
All of the lights had new batteries - all but the Minimag (2 AA) used 3 AAA.
YRMV..... but i'm happy with my initial impression of the XL50. Now lets see if it holds up through deer season.
