Hello,
I'm new to this website, and I really like it! I've already learned very much and want to thank all of you that post good, intelligent information, thank you!
After using quite a few different Maglite AA-cell and D-Cell incandescent flashlights I got a really great deal on two Maglite 3-AA LED flashlights. Unfortunately, I don't really know much about how the extra cell benefits the light.
If I am correct from what I've learned here - and this is where I'm asking your help, the 3-AA light uses the same Luxeon Rebel LED as the 2-AA light so, if the difference between the new 2-AA LED and the 'old' 3-AA is basically the ability to control the light output to save energy, is the value of the 3-AA in that it only allows full output but it has the 3rd AA battery to help prolong it's endurance? Would the 3-AA also be brighter to begin with than the 2-AA?
As a side question, do flashlights with extra cells, i.e., 3-AA/2-AA, 3-D/2-D offer brighter light, longer endurance or both?
I apologize for the simplicity of the questions, but I need to begin asking somewhere.
Thank you for any and all help you may offer!
Sincerely,
Joe
