I discussed this over on Reddit, but thought it was time to bring it over here.
I want to get a good light to present to my wife to take the dog out to poop (or maybe walks after dark). Based on her previous requests, I originally bought two Jetstream E10R (one for home, one for the boat)... But she doesn't like it because she can't easily find the button (it's now my EDC . We have a couple of Streamlights from Home Cheap-O that she kinda likes. Both have tail buttons only. One is a fixed focus and one is a zoomie. Unfortunately, between the two, she seems to gravitate to the zoomie, however, she has now taken to grabbing my Wowtech A1 when it is lying around... but honestly, I want that one back in my man-bag I saw the Emisar D4 the other day with its big rubber side button, but I think that is too much power for this application. I would like in-light recharging... she wants an easy-to-find button, simple UI with a few different light levels, maybe a tail switch(?), a zoom if possible or medium flood with a bright center, however I know how this community seems to dislike zoomers. Price isn't much of an issue. Certainly don't want to spend more than $100 on one if I can help it... well... because I will probably want to get two <see above>
What say ye?
THANKS Y'ALL!
