I'm not sure if you guys ever came up with the model of SureFire flashlight that Cliff was talking about, but I picked up one called the G2. It has a plastic body and comes with a 65 lumen bulb.
It was $36 on the SureFire website, and I coughed up another $25 for the 120 lumen, high-output bulb. (Be sure to also order their pack of batteries. 12 for $21. If you buy them locally, you'll spend $7 for two.)

You can also pick them up at Cabela's for the same price, but you'll pay just a little more for the batteries.

An AMAZING amount of light in a package that is the same length as a Mini-Mag!!

(I saw Cliff at the Quiet Water Syposium in Lansing last year. He CAN talk, and he loves his SureFire!)
