If I could give away any light as a gift? If money were no object ... the TK75 2018. For something more reasonable, but still really nice I'd maybe go with the current Fenix UC30. Or maybe the LD22 XP-G2 for AA/NiMh ease of use.
TK75 by far my favorite! :thumbsup: Thanks for the great lights over the years Fenix. You're the main reason I have a flashlight issue according to the wife!
In the past I have gifted the very prize, (CL20) a few E05s, E01s, E12s, HL25, FD41, and a HL60R. But if wanting to get someone into lithium ion 18650 for the first time, I'd probably choose the PD32, 2016.
HL23 for my hunting buddy. His flashlight has died on him and he really needs a headlamp with easy to access batteries. Boy carries way too much stuff in the woods. Needs free hands haha
I would (and did) give away a Fenix HL23 to someone who went to Puerto Rico to help with storm recovery (...and they planned on giving it away to someone in local office when they left.)
I have not posted in many years, But I read the posts from time to time. Since I got cancer I don't buy much anymore. I live just a few miles from the Sonoma county wild fires and I wish I could give those who lost their homes a simple AA light like a E20. I don't need anymore lights, I have plenty. I hope to be able to build some tiny homes for those in need if my broken body lets me, maybe I can slip in a flashlight in each one.
Because I got so many favorable, light-friendly comments about the former AA version from people I gifted the CL20 to, it would have to be its successor, the CL20R.
