Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums and I have a question about Maglites. I'm interested in purchasing a 3 D-cell LED 2nd gen Maglite but I can't seem to find any information about if they come with a spare incandescent bulb in the tail cap or not. I don't want a 1st gen because they don't put out enough lumens and the battery life is terrible and I'm not interested in the 3rd generation for several reasons, so that leaves the 2nd gen. My main reason for purchasing it is reliability and battery life but I've heard things about LED failure after drops and things of that nature. If I knew the 2nd gen LED had a backup lamp or was at least backwards compatible with incandescent bulbs, it would put my mind at ease about making the purchase.
Keep in mind, at this point I am not at all that interested in doing any kind of modifications that require anything technical. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate your answers.
thanks!
