    Any issues with leaving flashlights in car in the heat?

    The Flashlight should be fine, the only problem would be the battery leaking. I've lost a couple of LED lights that way.

    LED Upgrade help

    For the cost of the upgrade you can buy a new Minimag AA LED, I have the 1 watt Terralux upgrade and it is fairly bright (45ish lumens I guess, really bright by 3 year old standards) and it is a little cheaper. It will run for 5 hours or so. I also have the 3 bulb Nite Ize upgrade, it is ok for...
