Reddit mentions of Nitecore P10 800 Lumens Premium Law Enforcement Security Tactical LED Flashlight, Dual Mode Switch for Instant Strobe

I like my SRT5, but given the choice in the current market, I think I could save a few bucks on some alternatives. I do really like the control ring of the SRT5 and it is still unique in the market, but I don't think it's worth the extra price on top of some of these competitors.

• ThruNite TN12 (2014) - This guy is very new to the market but ends up being very similar to a Fenix PD35 at a lower cost. You also get the option of Neutral white tint.
  
  
• ThruNite Neutron 2C V2 - Similar to the Fenix E35 (below) this light has a single side switch for power and mode selection. Excellent value and brightness is on par with all of the others in this realm.
  
  
• Nitecore P12 - $60 for 950lm high mode, side mode switch button just like the PD35 and TN12.
  
  
• [Nitecore P10] (http://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Tactical-Flashlight-Batteries-LumenTac/dp/B00M0EFYIC) - Quite similar to the P12, save ~$5 and take the max lumen output peak down a bit. Mode switch is on the tail next to the clicky - for emphasis on quick access to strobe modes and that sort of thing if you need it.
  
  
• [Fenix PD35] (http://www.fenixlight.com/ProductMore.aspx?id=137&tid=9&cid=1) - It looks like Fenix has responded to the P12 with this 2014 edition of the PD35 here on amazon, bringing it to 960lm in turbo. Won't be all that different from the previous PD35.
  
  
• Fenix E35 Ultimate Edition - This light is rather similar to the P10, except you have a single side switch for power and mode changes. Comes in at a great value, if you are OK with the UI.
  
  Out of the above I would basically narrow it down based on what UI you like the best, weighted with price as well. If you would like power and separate mode switches, you've got the TN12, P12, P10, and PD35 to choose from. For a better value with just a single switch there is the E35UE and Neutron 2C V2. Based on my preference and budget I would try to get the TN12 (2014) in neutral tint if you can find it. If I needed a quicker turnaround I'd probably go with the P12 at $60. These are based on my personal criteria, definitely have a look at the parametrek page for your parameters as well.

For the record, I don't find my OTR to be inferior to my Olight an any way besides aesthetics personally, but that's fine. If you want brand name but reasonably compact, the Olights are not a terrible choice.

The S2 Baton is what the M6 was designed after and gives you a good 950 lumens max, but is a bit over your price range. The have the M18 Maverick as well which is more affordable, but you're looking at about half the max output.

There are also lights like the Fenix E35UE but it doesn't have a pocket clip (though you can likely use most any generic 18650 light clip) or perhaps the Nitecore P10, but it is somewhat larger, and Nitecore tends to use some lower frequency PWM that some people dislike.

To be honest, it's going to be more difficult to find a good "brand name" light that performs well in your price bracket; I find that you can mostly only get the entry level products from most of them while the lesser known (but not necessarily inferior) lights will provide more.

EDIT: I did not confirm compatibility with the longer cells you have mentioned in your OP with these lights.

I have a light very similar to this that is no longer manufactured (a Terralux TLF-TT-4), and I love it.
