Default Rechargeable LED Flashlight

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced and relatively compact one that is bright enough for a walk-around for a widebody?

Please spare me the comments about your $200 tactical SWAT team 1 gazillion lumen torches or 10 D cell caveman club Mag Lites

Fenix UC30; $60ish from Amazon.

I use a Streamlight ProTac 2L which uses 2 CR123s and it is a fantastic light.

Streamlight Stinger LED. I use it for work as a cop and it's bright.

This one works great. Rechargeable, relatively small and very bright. Great for pre/post flights. Relatively inexpensive compared to similar models. It's out of stock at Newegg where I bought it, but if you search "Cree 1000 lumens" on Amazon, this one and many others like it are available for under $50.

Sorry about the dead link. It worked when I originally posted. Apparently it's back in stock at Newegg. Here's a current link.
I got mine for $29.99. Have had it for a year and a half and have only had to recharge it 2 or 3 times.

How do you recharge it? What sort of cable?
