I’m think you mean EA4, because EA41 is 2 button.
Robert another thing too is you can use the Enegizer Lithium AA and you will get good run time. I use an Energizer Fusion LED 3 in 1 Light for camping $20 VERY handy! Has a flood and spot, flood light has a dimming feature.
Either the D40A or the Nitecore EA4/EA4I would be my choice. I have an EA4 and a D40A. I like the D40A slightly better but not much. Nice thing about the Nitecores for camping is they blink making them easy to find in the dark camping situation. Also, they don’t have a battery carrier which might be easier fir your mom.
I have an Nitecore MT2A I was planning to give to a friend for Christmas. I could give it to her and order another.

Perfect for camping because they will keep working fine down to freezing temperatures, while the alkaline and rechargeables lose a lot of their oomph when they get cold.
And don’t don’t don’t saddle anyone with li-ion who’s not really prepared for the safety issues.
Ever since I’ve started using lights that use Li-Ion batteries, one thing I REALLY appreciate about them is easy battery changes. With a 1x18650 or 1x26650 light, you just pull out the drained battery and stick a fresh one in. Couldn’t be easier, especially in the dark. And when it comes to polarity, you only have one cell to worry about. 4xAA lights, in contrast, can be quite difficult. The D40A is even MORE difficult than others (like the EA41 or SRA40) because it uses a battery carrier. This is DEFINITELY something to consider with a 4xAA light for camping. If she is willing to learn how to properly care for Li-Ion batteries, a 1x18650 or 1x26650 light could be a better choice. And if she doesn’t like the idea of either Li-Ion batteries or fumbling with batteries in the dark, a good 2xAA light may not be a bad choice.
A reliable multi-level 2xAA is the way to go for a general camp light...runs on two easily available batteries and puts out plenty of useable light. Something like this perhaps (well made, well regarded, and won't break the bank) : http://www.fenixlight.com/ProductMore.aspx?id=126&tid=11&cid=1#.VAAmc2fn9jp
If you shop around they are available for just under $35.
I like the Olight S15 as well, for not a whole lot more. It's not much of a thrower, but it's more than useful around the campsite. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Olight-S15-Baton-Cree-XM-L2-LED-280lm-EDC-1x-AA-Flashlight-Free-Extension-Tube-/281305620515?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item417f1f2023
Takes 4 x AA batteries and is as good as most C8s and is still available here: http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1980

I ended up with three of these, one to keep and two to give away, without li-ion worries.
The group buy was here CLOSED! Group Buy: Starry Light SA-22 BLF Edition (NW emitter, better modes, faster PWM, BLF logo)

She did ask me how much 18650’s cost, and she did not seem to mind.
But I use Sanyo which are 2/$10.
If she is up for it I could get her some convoy lights.
A nice diffuser to whatever light you got is really nice for camping. You can tie it on the ceiling of the tent.
The diffuser came with the new Thrunite T10T worked really well.
A headlamp is great for camping! 
Here is a 2aa size light. It is on sale.

These look like some good lights. I might have to get me one. For mom I am going to get the BLF Starry Light, the reason being its cheap and if she loses it no harm done.
I got a friend of mine the Nitecore MT2A 280LM light for Christmas. The friend in question is a mechanic by trade and is using a OLD mini mag at work, it only puts around 30LMs.
Earlier in the year he dropped everything to help me out when I broke down, so how can I let him use such a light?
This is the light I want I have a few questions.
- The Light description and the photo don’t match,
LL- L - M - H (This is what I want)
VS
L - M - H - Strobe - S.O.S.
2. Where can I get a diffuser for this light.
I have brought up head light in the past, but she doesn’t like them … yet.
Did that comment wrong this is whom I was replying to.

human spambot…
the resqme thread is gone already.
This is a CLUE.
It’s a clue that — as often the case for online sites — the seller does not know what they are selling and probably never even sees it.
They just collect money and then order something from somewhere to be shipped to you.
