Can anyone make any good recomendations? Mothers day is just around the corner (Sunday, May 8th). And I want to get her a nice flashlight, instead of the 99 cent incan lights she has :sick2:. She is well aware of my flashaholicism, and I want to get her something that a non-flashaholic would be impressed by. I would like for it to meet the following qualifications:
I would prefer to not order off of DX or KD, because it wont ship in time.
I was thinking of this, but its kinda big. I have bought the x6 AAA version of this off of DX and I would have to say it outputs about 200 lumens (compared to my R2 Ultrafire 501). It floods like no other. virtually no throw.
or this?
I was also thinking about maybe getting a shake-light.
- Around $30
- Takes disposable Alkalines, or has self contained charging dock or plug
- Not to big (D Maglite)
- Not to small (MiniMag AA or AAA)
- relatively long runtime, so preferable LED
- Single mode, or twisty mode selection. (No SOS, and No strobe, Just Hi, Lo, and maybe Med.)
- More flood, less through
