I am thinking of getting my son a light for his 12th birthday. He is very active in Boy Scouts and needs a decent light for camping. I usually go with the scouts and use my SL Luxeon Jr. I am torn between getting my son the SL 4AA Lux (for a longer run time) or a light that uses multiple 5mm LEDs. (for a super long run time)
Here are my needs:
LED
Some type of attachment point for a lanyard to make it harder to lose
common rechargeables
Not a headlight
High vis, like the SL yellow
These guys do alot of setup work after dark and I have seen them trying to do it with some pretty pathetic lights. My SL Lux Jr has perfect output but the runtime is a little short, that is why I am leaning toward the 4AA.
Any comments would be appreciated.
