Hey all,
I have an older MAG Lite LED in SILVER that takes 3 AA cells. It’s a nice light, but not too bright. I’m pretty sure it came out prior to the CREE or other HIGH output LED’s came into the public domain. The people at MAG tell me that they only made this model for a short time and that due to it’s length of 3 stacked AA cells, it’s a sought after light because many like how the length allows them to carry it securely in their back pockets. It’s not that big of a deal to me. I’d certainly trade it off if there was an offer for something else I wanted.
Anyway, I have always liked MagLite flashlights. I’ve had them way back when the D cell lights were carried by every cop in the country. I had a couple 3 “D” cells lights prior to the LED emergence. I think I even got a 5 cell model to give to my best buddy to carry in his truck and in the boat while we would go night fishing.
Now I have been looking a bit at what they have now and I’d like to pick up another and give it a try. I don’t know whether I would prefer an “AA” cell light or one that takes “C” cells. I don’t know if they have a 3 “C” cell light, but I know they have a few 2 “C” cell lights.
I’d like to get one and see how much better they are today than what they once were.
Do any of you have any LED MagLites that you like and can recommend? What MagLite can you recommend? Have you found any that are very good lights for the money you spend?
Any advice or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you kindly for your time and help.
