Addressed runtime towards the end of this post:
Maglite Solitaire is the only flashlight I’ve really liked. I like the twisty top a lot, and I use lantern mode very often. It’s light enough that I can hold it in my mouth (yes, I know it’s gross, but it’s too convenient), and I’ve glued a Streamlight pocket/hat clip to it to make it almost perfect. It’s also dim enough that I can actually use it in the dark without being dazzled. It just needs better runtime and higher CRI.
So unfortunately, I am very set in my ways, and don’t want another flashlight. The E3A looks like a perfectly cromulent flashlight, but it’s not a Mag Solitaire. If I lost my Mag Solitaire today, I’d buy another one immediately.
