"Sofirn SC33, but I’d recommend a headlamp for hiking any day over a flashlight. For under $50 check out the Sofirn HS21."

"Convoy M21F with XHP70.3 is a great choice, with battery it is less than $50."
"But if I had only gotten lights, then definitely Convoy t3 in titanium would have been my choice."
"There are a ton of awesome Convoy, Wurkkos, and Sofirn flashlights under $50."
"I ended up getting the Convoy T4."
"For something a bit smaller you could go with L21b."
