I bought a Coleman Max or somesuch from Walmart that is around $20 and about 120 lumens. Runs on 2 x AA. Again, decent light, and a pair of them would make for OK lighting at best.
I greatly prefer my MTE SSC P7, bought used from a fellow member here.
IIRC, there was talk here of a flashlight from either Lowe's or Home Depot. Think it was called Task Force? I got a gift card for HD with some $ on it around here somewhere, I might see what they got. I saw the Coleman Max at Wally World the last time I was there, that might be an option.
I have one LED light already-5 emitters powered by 3 AAA's in a holder. Don't have any idea what it's rated at, nor do I know who actually made it. It just has the corporate logo of a company that supplies my employer with some automated equipment (but it was free- I can live with free
). No way is it bright enough by itself to be used as a bike light. It's bluish, and I'll probably use this one angled down to light up what is right in front.
And I have a good idea who that BF'er is.
