Reylight Lanapple or Dawn. Exceed Designs Rampant. Malkoff has several. Noctigon KR1, KR4 in titanium. Emisar in titanium, several options. McGizmo has a few models but you’d be a bit over with an engine. Don’t get an engine from him there are much better options. Foursevens Quark. The list goes on and on.
Malkoff makes USA lights for a reasonable price that use 21700
Malkoff - check out the selection on the Kosen Flashlight site. Simple, rugged, and a quality item that should impress.
If you want USA made, Malkoff make some excellent lights in terms of reliability and toughness (I value durability a lot so I own a fair few Malkoffs), but they can’t compete with Chinese lights in terms of brightness and runtime.
I've owned two and they are absolutely bombproof.
Gene Malkoff I've heard is pretty picky about the emitters he uses, and I've heard he has a great batch of SST-20 emitters that he uses for the 4000k lights he makes
