which would you prefer more? and why? i’m thinking of picking up one of this for my old man but don’t know which one i should get.
TK35 runs on 18650’s and I don’t suggest getting lithium rechargeable a for anyone that doesn’t know the dangers and how to care for the batteries. Buying protected cells isn’t enough to protect those that don’t know any better.
The EA4 is a great light, I like the Sunwayman D40a even more.
For a Fenix light I’d suggest either the TK41 or LD41
EA4 for it’s form factor and battery type
EA4, or if UI and camera style button might be an issue for him, Sunwayman D40A. But I would also get him some AA eneloops and a simple charger for it, rather than let them risk ruining it with alkaleaks.
Neither. I’d get him one of the new lumintop SD10 flashlights. It offers the choice of 3aa batts or a single D cell battery, and if he doesn’t know about lithium batts he can learn and when he’s upto date with battery info and safe lithium use he can use a lithium 32650 cell also.
thank you everyone for the recommendations, i think i’m going toward the D40a since it’s using 4aa. just going to search around where i can get the best price for it. thanks again everyone!
TK35 if you have more budget, it is older, but not the other 4AA lights can compare.
