I am assuming both the 2 and 3D cell Maglites that Lowes had on sale for $14.07 are both Luxeon Rebel -090 emitters- and accoring to Lumileds spec sheet the output is approx. 160 Lumens @700 mah. Are any of you aware of any dif. between the 2- I am assuming the dash 091 is being addded by Maglite for some unknown reason.

My 2xAA says 090 and the 3D says 091 both are from Lowes. Got no clue as to what this means but get the 3D over the 2D not matter what it says on the LED.

Agreed. I originally had the 2D but measured the current draw and it's quite high on 2 cells. 3D will last much longer. Just wish I had known this when Lowes still had the 3D in colors other than black.

seems to be the concensus from reading through the 20 plus page post that you both hacve been active in- Thanks- I will be exchanging the 2D for a 3D tonight- the only bad part is the 2D is serial number 69....:D

Just speculation, but from the handful of data points I've seen, it seems 090 = 2-cell (both 2xAA and 2xD) and 091 = 3-cell (only 3xD so far).
