Flashlight Enthusiast
Hey all,
I am the very proud father of a two year old flashaholic daughter. Almsot every morning (we are up before the sun) after I get her from her room, she grabs a light off my nightstand and we "find" things all over the room. It's a ton of fun. What is NOT so much fun is having a 180 lumen light blasted into my dark adjusted eyes, or a $500 light thrown on the tile bathroom floor. Sure, you say, I could just put most of my lights away....Bahahahahahaha. I want an excuse to buy her an awesome light for her birthday. Which is in 16 days...hence the tight timeframe.
Anyway...this is what I want:
EASY clicky and or twisty switch (she can operate the novatac clicky and a Mcgizmo twisty, but not a Quark clicky).
1 cell, can be AA, or CR123 (prefered, actually). Nothing too small because it's hard for her to manipulate (Sapphire) or too big (she's pretty small.
Low powered. No more than say 10-20 lumens, but with a nice enough white enough beam, more flood than throw, but SOME hotspot that she can "put" on daddy, or on the ceiling, the dog, etc.
Insane runtimes.
Indestructable, and hopefully waterproof, for bathtime use.
Ideally, i was thinking an E1E with a low powered one stage led module and a surefire momentary on push/ twisty switch.
Cost isn't really a factor within some reason.
Any thoughts? Any non-modded lights that might fit the bill that I'm not thinking of because I'm a bit of a custom whore?
If you can build one of these (or have one!!) and get it to me within the timeframes I need....let's talk!!! Thanks for helping me raise a proper flashaholic!
