Recommend a good weapon light?

I am looking to put a good light on my AR-9 and I'm just not sure where to start. I don't want to spend Surefire kind of money.

I've had my eye on an Olight for a while but never pulled the trigger on one. Since then they have changed designs and now I can't decide which one to go with. Most of their lights use a 18650 battery but you will be on your own for a mount.

I need a couple to go on a shotgun and an AR so I'm interested in what else the forum members have to say.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Hundreds of options and opinions out there.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Recently I purchased a Solarforce LM2 flashlight body [less than $20].
I bought a T6 1000 Lumen drop-in LED module [about $7].
I run It on two rechargeable Olight 650mAh 16340 RCR123A batteries [two for $15}.
The runtime is over two hours and the case flashlight does not get hot.
I don't know about the longevity of the flashlight body, but it seems to be constructed well.

BTW, I use the same drop-in module and batteries in my Surefire and they work great.
