I'm finally turning her to the darkside. My wife is requesting a flashlight for her purse.
I'm trying to narrow it down a bit.....now if it was me, I'd be carrying a Lioncub....but she can't appreciate a beautiful light like that, and really has no need for it. Also, she'd probably lose it at some point- so replacement cost and availability is a factor.
I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Q3 or Fenix for the following reasons:
1. Small size.
2. Great output for a small light.
3. Ready availability.
4. Low price (under $50 if possible).
5. No learning curve- click or twist and it works.
6. I won't cry when she loses it.
I don't own either light so I'm open to some informed opinions and suggestions.
I'm leaning towards the QIII because it's closer in function to the nitrolon surefire that she uses at home. I have a ready standby of 123 cells. Also, she'll never change the batteries or monitor their usage, so having a lithium cell in the light will ensure longevity while she lets it sit in her purse for the next year without changing a battery.
I've also considered the Son of Raw....I own a U-bin Raw myself, but I think the light is too small for her- it would get lost, and it can be hard to hold for a mom who's juggling kids and keys trying to get into the car.
