Check out my new Mag-light:

[Nobar King]

I just bought a new flashlight for hunting and for power outages or rooting around in the basement. I already have a couple of these, but I thought it would be nice to have the new LED version which is supposed to be REALLY BRIGHT!! It's almost as bright as a laser!

This is the light I bought at the local Walmart:

• • MagLite LED Flashlight, 2D Black $32.69
  
  
• Durability and patented features combined with new LED technology

OK, let's just say that it's REALLY BRIGHT!@! It's a lot brighter than my other 2D mags. I didn't think they could be any brighter, but it is!! I might have to buy another. With those big D cells you know that the flashlight is going to be really bright and run for a long time, too. I might never use my old Mags again... They'll probably just sit in my tool box and get lonely. Maybe I should take the batteries out so that they don't leak. Not that it would matter since those lights are junk, now.

One good reason to buy Mag lite is that they are an AMERICAN company! Help support America and the economic recovery!! And if my power gets cut I'll be able to read at night with my nice new flashlight.

I also like this type of light because it's the one that I see police and military using. Then, I know that it has to be good.

These go on sale once in a while, so keep your eyes peeled and BUY ONE! You have never seen a flashlight this bright.

When I was at Walmart I bought another Mag-solitaire. I'm going to keep it on my backup set of keys.

You got that job in the Mag-Light Advertising & Marketing Department then, Nobar?

I WISH Maglite would pay me to advertise for them. They are a great company, and I could use a couple free lights.

I was given a pair of those, and they're really useful. The trouble is the battery doesn't last that long and with banging against keys, the finish gets tarnished. I have considered re-spraying them but I'm not sure what paint or how to apply it for the best effect.

I don't know about that. You could try inking it with a marker if you could find the right color.

Maglite is one of the true great companies. Did you know that for about $10 you can upgrade your existing Maglite to the LED bulb? Batteries last so much longer, I hardly have any to throw at the Jehovah's (false) Witnesses any more!

Here's one link

It's not as bright as the Maglite that comes with the LED, is it?

I did try a black one but comes out a sort of dark blue after a while and the gloss is just not there.

Have you considered a belt-holster for your solitaire? That would keep it shiny. Of course, now it's not a key-ring light.

My solitaires are also pretty well worn, so don't feel bad about it. They still work great.

does that $10 option to convert to LED apply to these small ones? It seems a bit excessive and you couldn't fit more than 1 LED into it. On top of that, the LED spectrum is limited and the light seems, 'thin' (if you take my meaning.)

Re: Check out my new Mag-light:

I've never seen anything like that. Could you even power an LED from a single AAA battery? It's so small. Don't LEDs require more than 3 watts to even light up? You would need one of those 2AAA solitaires.

The solitarie is nice because it comes with a gift box:

Re: Check out my new Mag-light:

I find the odd scrape or bump to my mag-light merely adds character to my torch. People see it, and automatically assume that I am a man who knows where his torch is, and therefore a man to trust in a crisis.

Amen, brother. Who needs a flashlight that just sits around in a drawer gathering dust?
