by the way amazon now has it in stock for 39.99 free shipping
Yeah I just got one from there this week.
I like it and it took mere seconds to figure out its operation, just have to remember to lock it out first before putting it in a bag or similar; that switch is sensitive. I just hope Mag plans on having accessories for it as none of my current Mag wands will fit it properly as the head is narrower.
On another note: I could do something myself, but I'd really like to see Maglite come out with a base for C/D cell lights that would allow you to tailstand the light on a table. I usually just cram one between couch cushions when a storm knocks out power. Coupling a C/D cell maglight with the white traffic wand makes for a nice, long running, diffused light. Now add to that the base to sit in and it would be a great makeshift table lamp for power outtages. Maybe even have a recessed slot on the base for a spare set of batteries.
Ohhhhh, Robin...
