I was wondering what u guys are getting for your non-flashaholics this x'mas?
I guess first thing to note is that the regular lights should use either AA or AAA batteries.
Or it should have a super easy no fuss rechargeable setup.
Also included coin cell lights.
Here's what i came up with.
My personal favourites are the Blimp for people who like high output, and the Elly for those who simply go for looks and not to mention they're cheap too!
[size=+1]AAA Size[/size]
==========
Blimp 7W 3xAAA $19.75
http://contents.fifthunit.com/html/products.5th/sku.851.html
Why?: Amazing output and regulated runtime from an unbranded china light. Even on regular NiMH or Alkaline batteries.
Dorcy Metal Gear 3xAAA $18.83
WalMart
Why?: Unregulated but very long diminishing runtime.
Fenix E0 1xAAA $19.95
http://fenix-store.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=102
Why?: For a key chain type light, lower output needs and super long runtime.
[size=+1]AA Size[/size]
==========
Inova X1 1xAA $18.99
http://www.lighthound.com/sales/inova_x-series_flashlights.htm
Why?: Great proven build quality, very long low output solution.
Lumapower LM-301 1xAA $20
https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/139548
Why?: Cheaper alternative to Fenix, unregulated but good diminishing runtime and 2-stage hi/lo.
MXDL "Elly" 1W 1xAA $6.25
http://contents.fifthunit.com/html/products.5th/sku.1120.html
Why?: Purely for the design which i find very attractive, expecially good for non flashaholics who will usually go for cosmetic look. Very cheap.
UFO Camping Lamp V3 4xAA $12.32
http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/4xaa-2mode-camping-lamp-p-493.html
Why?: Very handy outdoor light for camping/beach BBQ/power outages/etc.
Ultrafire "Charm" 1W 1xAA $15.50
http://contents.fifthunit.com/html/products.5th/sku.934.html
Why?: Cheapper alternative to Fenix. Fairly well regulated and can take 1.2v rechargeables now.
[size=+1]Coin Cell Size[/size]
==========
Photon Freedom 2x2016 ~$10 on eBay
Why?: I think the photon freedom is one of those great, flexible lights which everyone should have. Small enough to go un-noticed on a keychain.
