There is LED drop ins for them to.

I never went in for the battery rattle on guard duty. I liked to sneak up on the little F***kers and surprise them. I folded up some A4 paper to act as a long slim wedge between the batteries and part of the inner wall of the Maglite. End of rattle.

I still have my 5D cell from my security days, I also have a 2D cell, a 2AA cell in my daypack, a AAA cell in the saddle bags of the bike and another AAA cell in my camera bag. All Maglite's of the older variety. Yes I know there are better torches out there now, but until one needs to be replaced, I think I have enough for now.

Haha, Maglites have had their grand days, I bet you are one of "those guys" who still use a straight razor!

Heck! Now how did you know that???!

One of my old friends... have to get a new one!

Betalight - Torch

Keep it in your pants front pockets and you can save some bucks on condoms... well no, the condoms go over the flash suppressor of course.

Gut their little AAA model pushing 80 lum is truly impressive: Suprabeam - Q1 mini

I want lol. Thanks!

Yeah, I have that headlight as well.
Working in fuse-boxes and inside racks in computer halls, it is absolutely stellar!

Don't need no fancy flashlight. When the pigs go oink,oink,oink I leave that part of the lake & fish elsewhere.

Well I hope you got a not so fancy flashlight, so's you don't trip over the sneaky buggers laying in wait to grab's ya!
