You already know the answer! "You get what you pay for" applies to everything, can openers, kitchen knives, electric razors, blow dryers, tools...surely you can explain a $40 torch!?
Prepare ahead of time, buy a cheap plastic 2D cell incandescent flash light at your local discount house. Next time she needs a flashlight, give her a good one and the cheap one...let her pick! (I keep a "special one" with the worst beam I've ever seen on hand for this purpose...BTW, my wife already understands the quality of a good torch - however, it's getting harder and harder to explain these $200 torches! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
You know what they say, "It isn't an obsession if you call it a hobby".
