this reminds me when i was a kid, we had this huge flashlight that used 4 D batteries in line with a yellow light bulb, lots of weight for such low light output
of all the hand held lights i have tried i love all of my 4D mag lights. have a couple shiny 3D in my rv. and used the 2 AA at work in a holster on mu belt ( holster also holds a multi tool). just like my very old Stanley thermos, even own a soup thermos.. some thing are made to last. over 40 driving a truck things get bounced and bashed. so quality counts.
Hej Todderbert thanks for the review yes nice to see a Maglite review yes i have the Maglite ML25LT on my buy list i had a maglite flashlight a long time ago in the 80's had the long police version that was popular at the time. I also had a Maglite pocket flashlight I miss them they disappeared when I moved to a new apartment but will definitely buy Maglite flashlights again, I like the brand take care Todderbert.
The ML50LX is a nice upgrade, but it is longer. I think almost as long as the 3 C version of this one. This is a nice “stubby” light. An 18650 version would rock but, hey, it’s MagLite… get some EBL Cs. NiMH give it a nice heft and won’t leak all over inside (how all my mags have died).
Never understood why people gave Maglite sh!t, my 35 year old one still works. Did do the LED upgrade though. Yes there are higher lumen lights out there, I had 2 and they are broken. Plus they require expensive batteries. 192lm is great for in and around the house and general camping. Eyeballing a blue one for my son, nib on second hand market.
Another plus of NiMH is that they're less leaky than alkaline batteries. Every Maglite I've had a leaky battery is difficult-impossible to remove. And, of course, batteries are much more likely to leak today.
Maglite is nice but Surefire and Streamlight are the best. 🙂 I love my Streamlight Microstream USB and the Surefire Backup MV. Your Reviews are awesome !
Love your reviews on these flashlights and radios. Always useful, you helped me to learn about them to actually make a purchase on a flashlight and small radios. Thanks again for your videos! 73!
