I noticed this light is for sale on REI and Home Depot's websites. Has anyone bought it? Seems like a great light for less than $40 and 270 lumens.
Bummer. I had hoped that Maglite was starting to make competitive products. The throws already there for the D-Cell lights, just not the raw output.

I bought one from The Sports Authority last month and ended up returning it a couple of weeks later. It is a nice light but it's not 270 lumens. That is a bunch of bull. I don't think it is even 170 lumens. I have got Surefires and Inovas that are 200 lumens and above and the Maglite 2D Pro was not brighter by comparison.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Get one if you like the light but just to large of a light and not bright enough.

i also picked up one of these. it does not equal even a surefire u2 rated at 200 lm. to the eye, it looks similar to the terralux conversion.
I'd like to see some runtime graphs before deciding if the 270 lumens is worth it. Remember the Mini Mag Pro + and how fast it dropped from 100%?

But it is regulated, it's just a different kind of regulation. You can always turn it off and back on too.The size of the light, cheap plastic lense and run time dropping out of regulation and of course I didn't believe the lumens ratings. I'm sticking with my Inova XO3's and Surefires.
