I use my Mini Mag Pro Plus nearly every day, almost always on low mode, which is all I need indoors/up close. High mode only gets used occasionally to ceiling bounce light a dark room or for out doors (though I am more likely to grab something like the ML25 when heading out).

Though I prefer the ML25 (particularly the two mode 2C) for the most part, the Mini Mag Pro Plus can hold its own when compared to most other 2 AA lights – especially when it comes to build quality, dependability and price. Beams might not look as pretty for white wall hunting with Mag’s smooth reflectors, but I like that they throw out there some.

I don’t mind the step down at all – if I am using a light for more than a few min., I would rather have less lumens and more run time with less heat building up.
