I agree with Crenshaw that the L1D Q5 is the best choice in that price range but you could get the L1T V2 https://www.fenix-store.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_69_50&products_id=334
for about $40 after using coupon code (CPF8) if you're on a tight budget.

you know the best way? that's when your son came to china, and contact us, so we will sell him a flashlight in RMB, that's a lot better then you buy it in USD.

Fenix store can ship quickly if you are in the US. L1T sounds pretty good for him.

The L1T sounds good but is still above $40. The standard L1D is a few bucks more but has more levels.

Thanks! It appears they are close to where I work so I'll call on them.
Can anyone recommend the Lumapower Lm-31 and tell me where to buy it?
Thanks~

The LM31 is available at Batteryjunction. 5% off coupon for CPFers is "CPF2006". Fenix Store's coupon for CPFers is "CPF8".
It's pretty comical that you're buying your son a light that's made in China, that was shipped to the US, so he could take it back to China. :laughing:
As others have mentioned, Fenix makes great lights for your budget, and 4-7 at fenix-store.com is top-notch. I purchased a good number of lights from him and I usually get it within 2 days.
By the way, if you son is going to China, he could pick up a few lights for himself. I assume it's going to be a lot cheaper in RMB than USD.

I once had a friend give me a souvenir shirt when she came back from London. Looked at the tag, "Made in USA"

That happens all the time when friends stay here in Ireland. They buy souvenirs of Leprechauns or whatever to bring back to their friends and family, only to find they were made in Taiwan or some place...
Just wanted to tell how my situation got resolved here.
I called the Fenix-Store and first learned that you pronounce the name Fenix like 'Phoenix'. It would never have occured to me. Second, I learned that the store is only 5 miles from where I work! So I went there yesterday at lunch and it was very cool to go in their offices (there actually is no storefront), and peruse the lights and pick one out. I bought a L2T Q5. For myself. My son will get my modded AA Maglight for his summer travels. He is very happy with it.
I am pretty blown away with the L2T. I love the simple interface. The light has amazing throw on high. The spill from the low level is good for reading. What more do I need? I can see one or two more of these in my future. I 'm just not sure if its a blessing or a curse that the Fenix-Store is so very close!

I think its a good thing that I (like others) are much farther than 5 miles from the Fenix-Store. With the instant gratification of buying a Fenix light and having it in hand, I don't think I could contain myself.

considering that fenix-store is now the distributor for nitecore product as well, it is both a blessing (product and service) and a curse (on your wallet).
I have the L2T V2.0 with the latest Cree (Q5?). Bright enough to see the treetops in the big oaks around my house. Probably upset some squirrels (to the delight of my dogs).
I believe the Minimag has a Teralux bulb and circuit to bring 3 brightness levels plus SOS & strobe, with an IQ switch.
I had a hard time buying just one light at Fenix. The Dosun R5 was very cool. Luckily it was not an AA light.
