I purchased a mini maglite LED a few years back. It's a pretty good light for under $20, with (if i remember correctly) a maximum output of 130lm.
my hubby and I are now back into the house hunting process, and he wanted a good flashlight for looking at houses (which are likely to have their power turned off) and didn't want me spending too much. So, a trip to Home Depot found the improved version of the LED Mini Maglite, designated 'Pro', with a max output of 226 lm.
Here's a shot of the two on high, with beams focussed to the best hotspot. The older one is on the left. They are being shined against a medium blue-gray colored wall. The batteries in both are brand new.
The old one has fairly major distortions in the hotspot, and is very yellow. The new one seems to me to be perfectly white, not leaning on the blue side, and a VERY clean spot. It's also surprisingly brighter. AND I think it was the same price as I paid for the previous one, something just under $20.
These are not the pinnacle of flashlight tech, but I think for the price are pretty excellent, particularly the new mini maglight pro.
