Gift Question for you Flashaholics

My brother if a flashaholic (thats an understatement).

Every year we try and out do each others gifts.

He has a variety of flashlights (the vast majority he modded or built from scratch).

This year I want to get him a mini light (dont know the correct term I am flashlight-handi-capped) to replace his Fenix p2d.

Is that the best out there for that size light?

Or is there a light like the Fenris p2d that would be considered an upgrade.

Any other gift ideas for a flashlight nut would be terrific.

Price can be anywhere really, so long as it is worth it.

Thanks (and sorry for all the parentheses )

Well since he already seems to like Fenix lights may I suggest the new PD20 or PD30. The PD20 is basically the new P2D and the PD30 uses 2xCR123 battery's for higher output and longer runtime vs. the PD20 single CR123 battery.

What your brother needs is one of the new 4Sevens Mini 123's, though it might be a bit of a wait to get one. Add a Maratac AAA and he'll be very happy and highly illuminated.

Thanks for all the ideas.

The mini light idea is out.

Trying to squeeze Information out of him late yesterday he made mention of wanting to wait until the next generation emitter for the pd20 before he upgraded.

Any other ideas guys (and thanks again I really appreciate this).

Any nice drop ins out there?

If he's a flashaholic, it will be next to impossible to pick a light for him. He probably has very specific tastes and interests. A light that is awesome to one flashaholic may be useless to the next one. It's like trying to buy shoes for someone. Chances are they won't be a perfect fit no matter how nice they are.

If he wants the next generation pd20, maybe you could get him a gift certificate so he can snag one guilt-free when they come out. Maybe you could even pre-order one.

Or you could go Old School and get him a Surefire E2e!

Fenix PD10 Ti. It has the latest emitter in it and it's made of titanium. Can't beat that.

Alternately, get PhotonFanatic to make him something custom.

Depending on what he has, you might want to think about 'accessories' like a first class charger or batteries.
