My mom loves a good flashlight BUT she has been buying junky ones for years...help me get her something that's decent
Shown here is indeed one of the examples of junky one that'll work for a few months and then start flickering/short out....and end up in the trash. It's not her, but they're about as reliable as the mag lights 20+years ago(at least in my experience). I'd say budget would be between 20-40 USD which should be good enough. She just likes to have a reliable one to walk the dogs in the evening or see if any bears are out back etc. So any extra features would probably be lost on her, just a nice squishy rubber button that goes on and off!
I will possibly get her a smaller version additionally to put in the car, doesn't even have to be the same brand. "You never know when you'll need a good flashlight!"-her words
Thanks guys!
