Say watt ya will about MagLite, their shortcomings against today’s better throwers and flooders, butt IMO MagLite’s momentary side switch has from the earliest get-go been a stroke of unparalleled ‘switch genius’ if there ever has been one.

Whenever I pick up a C/D cell MagLite, old or new, becuz of that switch I feel at home.

Can’t say that about ANY other flash out there. MagLite switches: Simple, direct, and no BS. They work dam near everytime and they still do it silently first off the bat - which is how it should be. Not the other GD way around.

To wit, if you’re gonna make/incorporate reverse switches for all your lights at least make them silent.

Do I really NEED to hear a GD LOUD CLICK everytime I turn on a flash?

I mean really. Sheesh. I think this rant almost deserves a standalone Notta rant. :exclamation:

If you start a rant thread about loud switches I am there.

U GOT IT! See and believe…… :laughing:

Not ANOTHER NOTTA RANT............Switchez.....
