I use a Dereelight DBS V3 for work with a rechargeable 18650 battery. It has an OP reflector (I need the flood more than the throw) and is a little more compact than the Pelican (which is a very good light). It's brighter too with WAY more flood (due to the OP).

You can buy 123 batteries in bulk for under a dollar a piece. I have the pelican and there are issues with durability, ut it's a great light when it works. My favorite is the blackhawk night ops....
