My dad's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get him a flashlight. All he has is a 3D Mag. He's seen my 4AA Streamlight ProPolymer and comments about how bright/white the beam was so I was consdering that. The only downside is that it sorta looks cheap. The upside is that it takes AA batteries. I was also considering the 3C version.
I was considering something like an Inova X5 or posibly an XO or XO3 (even though they are a little more than I wanted to spend) simply because they are such well-made and impressive lights from a build-quality standpoint. I have an XO3 coming from some guy on ebay that I got for $45 shipped, so I could give him that one. The downside is that they take CR123A batteries. I could alwyas give him a few spares.
I was also considering either an L1 or L2 (non-premium) but can't find any online. Does anyone have them in stock?
What are some opinions? Which would YOU be happier to get? Which do you think a non-flashaholic 60-year-old guy would be happier to get? I'm just looking for ideas. The intended use will be for a general around-the-house and take-it-hunting sort of light.
Thanks in advance!
