Before you go any further.
80+ Yr old. a little feeble in grip.
I’mm 80 in 2 yrs next month. Fairly fit and strong.
It’s not so much the “grip” but the sensitivity in your feeling that causes the problem.
I have 2 x S2 torches. and don’t use them.
Relax just a little and the bloody things slide out of your grip.
They just a tube. Even after I put 2 x Thick O-Rings in the grooves
in the outer knurlings for extra grip.
You young ones haven’t got the mind set of the physical retrictions
of oldie’s yet.
Unfortunately. I’m getting there.
A “Small” light is similar too. Also she NEEDS a AA type.
NO messing with special battery’s.
ANY special. Rechargable item WILL need permanent checking and charging by YOU…
She WILL forget. We ALL do…
One with plenty of Knurling or STEPS in it’s profile.
Easier to grip.
She doesn’t NEED 350 lum. 100 to 180 will be fine.
Something the size of a Jetbeam Jet 1 or one up. TWISTY.
BUT not a smooth/straight sided tube please.
Change the O ring for a narrower one to make it easier if twisty a bit stiff.
Those Push buttons on some are a real prick believe me.
Have fun.
