Flashlight Enthusiast
So, here I am, thinking....what do you get for mom? The woman has everything....tough to buy for.
I'm on the phone with her, and she says..."ANd steven (my brother) lost my flashlight!"
NICE!! Opportunity knocks.
I am thinking 1) I have seen her throw away "broken" cheapo's becasue the batteries died (had to hold in the laughter, so I want a rechargeable, can sit in a cradle long-term until use.
2) Run times of at least one hour.
3) AT LEAST 65 lumens (walks the dogs, there are coyotes and teenagers in cars).
4) LED--she wouldn't know how/want to deal with a dead bulb
5) Decent throw, decent spill/flood. Preferably a bit "throwier" than the L4, of course, giving up some flood. BUT, she needs that flood for animals, visibility.
Any thoughts? I'll go to $200 or so.
Help me out, fellow flashaholics! I've poured through all of te main players' websites...haven't found "it" yet.....
