Hello once again, Candlepower. In my previous post here
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=184370
I endeavored upon the task of getting a good carry light at a good price. Thanks to you guys, I ended up getting not one but TWO light configurations at a phenomenal price--
https://www.fenix-store.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_52&products_id=226
at an after-coupon price of $67 shipped.
I can't ignore that kind of success--and of course that candlepower addiction is taking hold--so I'm coming here again looking for advice (so I can do proper research). See, I'm a month or so away from a birthday...and six days later is my fiancee's birthday. She has fawned over my flashlight purchase (and would certainly have absconded with it sans supervision) so I'd like to get her a nice light as well. Right now I'm deciding between something similar to what I bought and something much more robust. I want this to be a special exotic (for her, not for you lightheads) gift--either really small (Fenix P1/CE size), or really unique/powerful (a la one of Ledean's Asphericals). Just this once I'm willing to sacrifice usability for novelty, if necessary to get that worshipful WOW from my favorite gadget girl.
Price cap is ~$120. Any and all suggestions welcome in the LED realm.
Postscript: To anyone thinking this isn't an appropriate gift for a girl--this is a girl who was tickled pink when she received a custom pair of titanium chopsticks (anodized a soft pink/purple). This is right up her alley.
