Please help me out here! I want to buy a penlight for my brother who'll be starting his maxillofacial surgery program soon. It's a program where he'll also get his MD at the end of what seems half a lifetime in school.
Anyhow, it's more of a symbolism than a "tool" that I envision him using every day, but he's my baby brother and I want to give him "the best out there" (or close to it, IYKWIM). I want him to have an elegant penlight.
I've narrowed my choices to the WA PenLite and the SL Stylus. I'd like to have the penlight engraved, so it's good that they both have metal bodies (right?). As far as I know, the WA uses an halogen lamp, while the SL uses a LED (does this affect color tissue recognition?).
So what's it gonna be? Please vote and share your comments. If you absolutely want to talk me out of buying any of these and have another commercially-available penlight in mind, please do so too.
I like that the WA can use AA batts. I'm sure my brother will love tearing apart 9V batts to get the AAAA cells, but I'd rather him focus on other things.
