got to admit one thing about C and D cell flashlights! if they had quality leds in them, youd never replace batterys
the LED maglites i have are UTTERLY useless against EVERY FLASHLIGHT I OWN.... even the 9 LED ones from Ocean state job lot outshine it!!! stupid 3 watt luxeon!
this is prior to the new rebel luxeon ones tho
either way, there is one thing the maglite is good for
thats right, my next project.... instead of making a pocket rocket with an SST-90, i decided it would be better to use one of my many useless Maglite batons sitting around
a 3 cell gives me the option to use it for either 3 Ni-MH OR 3 li-ions (and drastically reduce the incoming amperage with a higher voltage!)
since a regular mag (3 cell) puts out a sad 70 lumens, side by side with the older LED mag, id say they are about the same, the led MIGHT be 90 lumens at best!
that zy-112 looks like a great option for a p7 mod tho!
