I think you could either be happy or disappointed with either product, largely based on your expectations. If you are expecting either of the products to be searchlights for eight hours while being churned in a cement mixer, we may not be able to meet your expectations. Our workaround for this is to try focusing your expectations. (We tried keeping our customers away from cement mixers, but that didn't work out.) InReTech makes a replacement adapter for the MiniMAG flashlight. If you like MiniMAGs, you're probably going to like our light. There are a lot of MiniMAGs sold each year and that is the market we are aiming at.
We would love to put together other kinds of lights but the optics problem keeps confronting us. How do you get the light out while keeping the water from going in? Another problem is market differentiation. How do we produce a product that is just like one of our competitors and make sales? How do we do this without engaging in flame wars here on CPF? (Thank you to all of our competitors who showed extreme forbearance at some of my earlier remarks.)
For right now, InReTech has staked out the MAG Instruments Direct Drive LED Adapter market. We are looking at ways we can develop new products that increase the size of the whole pie rather than just our slice of it. We really want Mike to get a brand new Hummer next year, but we aren't going to do so if it means that we trash this invaluable resource that is the CPF. We're from Oregon and we value community. (OK, don't expect Mike to say this really loudly if he is standing next to a new Hummer.)
I hope you find an LED product that you really like. If you buy our product and understand that it is going to give you years of useful utility/inspection/emergency light, I think you're going to be happy. It will survive a substantial amount of abuse, but it can be broken. I hope this helps.
