Hi there, i'm posting this because it has to deal with, specifically, the Inova X1. But all recommendations can point to other light sources as well.
I'm getting to chose a light for my mom who is an RN. Over the years she's carried those diposable penlights. I remember, A LONG time ago, i once bought my mom a Maglight Solitare for her work. A few months later the head somehow fused together and refused to budge, and turn on. I'm guessing the battery leaked and did something internally. That was the first and last purchase of a Mag Solitare for me.
I'm considering the Inova X1 because it is the smallest light i know of with a tailswitch and that uses common batteries. I would LOVE to get her an Arc AAA or Arc AA...but they do not have tailswitches, which would make her job a lot easier. I've also checked out the dozens of Stylus type of LED penlights out there, but they all use hard to find batteries, and i want my mom to be able to replace them on her own if she needed to.
Are there any other lights you would recommend? I would LOVE to get her an ARC LSH-P but...i don't have that kind of money right now. Who knows...maybe i'll just give her mine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
