What is the best flashlight for under $50?

I have been searching for a good flashlight/torch for camping and recreation. I have heard that the Fenix LD01 flashlight is really good.
Can you tell me what is the best flashlight for under $50.

I don’t care what brand it is.

I’m a big fan of the Surefire’s and think for the price you can’t go wrong:

I prefer the metal case to the plastic case but for the cost of $39 with 10 batteries free it’s a win-win situation.

If you want the LED version it’s a little pricier:

For the price you can’t beat the features of the Fenix LD01 – I haven’t seen it sell for under $50 though – and it uses a AAA battery so it’s easier and cheaper to replace than the CR123′s that are common for these high end lights. This is the cheapest I’ve seen the LD01: http://www.lapolicegear.com/fenix-ld01-stainless-steel-special-edition-flashlight.html
