Once he sees them in use he may get addicted.

You'd love one of these lights. The only one I have now is one of the older ones, the Jetbeam BC40, it was only about $50 (plus the batteries and charger, another $25) and it is great to have around. Even in broad daylight when you can't see **** around the motor of a car, it will light **** up like you wouldn't believe. Its a good light.
If you're interested let me know and I'll post some links to it and the batteries and charger I bought.

Hey Gary, You'd love one of these lights.

My dad has a birthday coming up and I'd love to get one of these for him. He used to have one of those million candle rechargeable lights years ago that he loved. The big ones with like 3 bulbs in them. So is like to get him something maybe in the $100 range.

The one I posted above is a BAMF. But you need to get the batteries to go with it, and a charger if its one of them that doesn't have the charger built in.
I know the one I posted above is over $200 plus the batteries (about 7 dollars each, it takes 3).
The one I have now is the Jetbeam bc40, it takes 2 18650 batteries and a charger for them. It is smaller than any Maglite and 10 times brighter.
Here is the light, it was around $50 when I bought mine (its obsolete now with all the super bright ones, but still a good light)
Here are the batteries and charger I bought. They have been flawless so far.
I ordered 2 of these batteries...

And this charger for them...

And I'll say that battery junction is a great company. I've ordered a lot more stuff from them since and they have been great. Fast shipping, great customer service.
But if you want to be the bad *** that light I posted earlier would put you on a pedestal (the 3300 lumen light, on high). It takes 3 of those batteries above, but it will charge them in the light without an external charger. I'd have an external charger anyway and extra batteries just for emergencies.

Geez... there's a forum for everything! So since I don't know how to compare candle power to lumens, I questioned duckduckgo. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...e-power-lumens My gawd - more than I wanted to know... lol
I just read that exact same page 10 minutes ago

Those aren't **** compared to these things. I used to have those "million candlepower" lights. Especially those that plug into a cig lighter in a car. They aren't even in the same league as these CREE LED lights that are out there now. These things are small, compact, easily hand held or stuffed in a pocket, but blindingly bright. Not like those massive hand held halogen lights you're thinking about.
I think it also has to do with the wavelength of the light - like HID's (white light) over Halogen (yellowish light). The LED's are a bright white like HID's.
I have to be careful with the horses & the dog because I'm afraid to shine at them if they're looking towards me.

3 second Mustangs! 
Pomona Friday:
POMONA – John Force picked up right where he left off in 2013 when he raced to his unprecedented 16th Mello Yello Funny Car championship. On the first day of the 2014 NHRA season at the 54th annual NHRA Circle K Winternationals the winningest driver in NHRA history lowered the track elapsed time record he set in November at the Auto Club Finals twice en route to unofficially setting the national elapsed time record. NHRA national records become official at the conclusion of the race but his 3.966 second pass to close out the second qualifying session has a great chance of standing up for a long time.
In the opening session Force flew down the track in 3.983 seconds at 317.72 mph. Force was thrilled with his performance to start the season.
Right before Force made his second historic run of the day teammate Robert Hight and the Auto Club Ford Mustang made their first run into the three second range posting a 3.996 second run and moving up to the provisional No. 2 spot.
