Hello everyone. This is my opinion based upon my experiences. I am not a gadget dude. I am not in to bleeding edge. I am the "stands the test of time" and the "less is more" dude. It was my dad and his Maglite work flashlights that made me a Maglite fan. Yes, they are not bleeding edge and yes they are behind on technology. I am ok with that. Over the years I have tried inexpensive poorly made lights….and they were junk. I have tried other more popular brands of newer technology flashlights. I always go back to Maglite. The reason for me is simplicity, extremely reliable, and very durable. It always works and will last decades, nit just a few years. I chuckle when I read things such as "my brand X light still works after three years". When you reach thirty years, then we will talk. I have my dad's thirty year old one million mile Maglite. Still works like a charm. The light was his five day a week van flashlight from 1992-2010. Traveled one million miles in his autoparts work van. It was used five days a week for eighteen years. I have the 4D cell ML300L and I like it. My EDC is the 2AA mini Mag warm white LED and the Solitaire warm white LED. For my use, that is all I need. My FourSevens and Fenix no longer work. Not one of my Maglits has broken. I am in the minority I know, but if ut is not broke…..😁
