Great Light (Now with linky goodness!)

Not to go starting another "flashlight thread" but...
I respect those of you who spend real $$ on flashlights. They're great pieces of kit, but as someone who ends up losing them, dropping them and then running over with the car, etc, I just can't justify the large expense.
Still, I ALWAYS carry a light, so I'm always looking for something that's good beyond its cheap price. I stumbled over just such a thing yesterday -- a little light that's so impressive for the cost I felt like I just had to share...
In my semi-local "surplus" store (lots of overpriced crap) I found a little single-AA light that's blinding bright, thick as a roll of pennies (so makes a nice fist-full if needed) and has a crenelated bezel just perfect for ripping face or cracking skull. Its tail-button even glows in the dark -- all for $10!!
Here's a link to the same light on Amazon -- though mine's black.
I'm an idiot -- link added -- thanks SeekHer!
