I'm with Joe on this one, I love my Surefire E2D LED Defender. It's not super light but it is super bright and relatively compact for a hand held. On the downside though, it requires Lithium CR123 batteries which can be expensive, however the run time on the lower of the 2 settings is almost 80hrs(run time on high is only 1.9hrs, but that is with 120 lumen output so not bad really). It was expensive to purchase but it's also built to last forver.
