Newly Enlightened
My mom has macular degeneration and lots of trouble seeing. I recently bought her a magnifying table lamp with a large neon bulb and it seems to have helped her a lot, so I also gave her a el-cheapo freebie flashlight from Harbor Freight that I had laying around. She said that helped some, and is portable enough that she can keep it in her purse.
I want to get her a nicer flashlight that is more appropriate for her problem. I'm thinking something with all flood, not too bright so as to not overwelm what she's reading, maybe VHOP or similar. the simpler the better, and I'm thinking single mode. Quark comes to mind, maybe a Fenix, but those are multi-mode. I'd prefer not to get a P60 based light as that may be more complicated than she would want (prob no rechargables either).
I did forget to mention that she's fairly weak and had trouble pushing in the button on the HF light. Twisty might be best.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
