The model that gadgetman suggested is great but you need to find it with a XM-L emitter, need at least a T6 bin, preferably a U3.

For the best pay a little extra and get the latest XM-L2 emitter. The only way to get better light is from HID spotlight or SST LED's, about $200 from china

I prefer the Ultrafire 502B over the 501B as the body is a more consistant tube and mounts tighter.

I would suggest the Ultrafire C8 or C10 over the 501/2 as they have much deeper reflectors and project longer beam. Or the C12 if you plan to run it for extended time, it has a larger heatsink.

UltraFire C8 Cree XM-L2 5-Mode LED Flashlight Torch with 1x18650 Battery - UltraFire Flashlights - Brand led Flashlights - LED Flashlight & Lasers Worldwide Free Shipping!!!

Buy from lightmalls not DX.com as I've had lights turn up within a week, DX you're lucky if it arrives within a month.

For the best LED info look at Cree - Flashlight Wiki


Shows you the max output from each cree emitter

I've embarrassed P7 and P14's with a $10 Ultrafire 501B and i've never killed an Ultrafire torch yet. Add some silicon grease around the o-rings and I've even used them underwater for floundering.

Looking at getting a night shoot bunny setup and this advice is freakin awesome.
Thanks @specweapon
