You can get the FC11 (clone) for about $10 (about 10€) with a battery - I have a few just as backup lights around the house.
I did buy the better batteries for ones in my 72-hr bag (I live in an area that gets sudden, severe weather emergencies).
It's been great to have a light that can run continuously for days (lowest output is a few lumen, great for power outages)
The FC11 is not a clone, it is the predecessor of the FC11C with a less efficient driver. The FC11C is worth the upgrade, if you want longer and better regulated runtime.
