i’m having a very big problem:
I don’t like flashlights with disco- or other flashing modes and i succeeded in buying only the liked ones!
A little gal (9 years old), i like very much, asked me for a birthday present. She would like such an extraordinary flashlight like the ones she saw in action by me. I thought, ok, no problem, i’ll buy just another really good one i already own, which runs on AAs or NiMHs and i’m fine. But now she told me, she would like to have a flashlight, which have the irritating disco- and SOS-modes.
Since i never looked out for these specific flashlights, i would appreciate any suggestions for a really good ( =bright ) flashlight running on AAs or NiMHs, that is having these normally unwanted disco- and SOS-modes.
Not sure if she is old enough for a nitecore EA4, it doesn’t need lithium, and i’m not sure if it has disco modes
i am loathe to recommend it but i cant’ think of a more nimh reasonable one
Let her try one of yours if you have one to make sure (convoys from fasttech have it in hideable modes), its a fair bet in a week she will get sick of disco.
Also stress and stress that vision damage can come from looking directly into the beam or shining it into somebodies eyes and that its a gift for someone who can be responsible with it
Edit: How about a costco special? Pretty sure it does disco, and its 3 for the price of one
Fasttech has it for $26.34.( Sorry I don’t know how to post the link, any help in this regard would also be appreciated…)
It may be slightly large for a small hand, but I am very impressed with the brightness and runtime, I got over 3 hours on energiser 2000mah rechargeable ni-mh’s.( Probably actually over 4, but I don’t want to sound too optimistic….)
I think this could be what you’re looking for… :bigsmile:
Costco is selling a new line of there three pak of lights.
There red m, 250 lumens and have a strobe mode. Branded as Snap-on, and look better than the previous line
Thanks all for the suggestions, but it should be a small one AA light. She is a slight small person and a 3xAA or a BTU Shocker would look ridiculous with her. I’ll try to convince her, that the disco modes will peeve her in a short time and gift her an Xtar WK50 in pink of course!
How about the Xtar WK41.She will have the flashies but could ignore them when she gets tired of them.Also, it supports 14500 if she ever really gets into flashlights at a latter date.-Rick
This Tank007 TK566 is bright enough, clicky and have 5 modes.
Sorry, rather hard to find clicky multi color AA flashlight with decent price. I think better using clicky than twisty for 9 years old child, twisty sometimes can be annoying.
I don’t know about earlier versions but V3 does have hidden strobe. But I wonder if she might like something smaller/cuter in 1xAAA form? Thinking of the newer CQG S1 which has 3 modes including strobe: http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1287
