I bought 2 of these: Archon V10S
I've had one for about 3 yrs and just bought a 2nd one which will be my backup. Excellent quality and throws a nice light. Never had any problems. I can usually get about 2+hrs of light from an 18650 on high setting. For $30, it's hard to beat.
 
I use the XTAR D04 as my primary, but it's small enough to take a second as a backup, and then you only need to stock the 18650 battery.
 
I bought the Explorer from Cave Adventures. It's a fine little light.

I echo what others said about 'going cheap'. A good light will last you a long time. Don't cheap on it.
