Need light to gift to my nephew. He likes my lights and is impressed with the power of some, like my TM16. I like 18650, more throw than flood, neutral white, simple UIs. I’ll spend up to $100 on him. What say you folks? Your recommendations please?
and has enough bells and whistles to keep him busy for weeks! Buy the extra optic so he can have both flood and throw. With recommended battery and charger, you’re still well under $100.
I started my niece and nephews off with 1 X AA, simple on / off, incandescent lights. Then we moved on to all the technical stuff: LEDs, CRI, lumens vs lux, rechargeable batteries. Once they had learned what they liked, they made their own decisions as to what lights to get.
Here’s some advice that will depend on how technical/nerdy your nephew is, but if he is, the re-flashing kit for the V2s could keep him occupied for years.
