IMHO, if you use them a lot, it is well worth the money. I have converted three of my Mag D-cells over to TeraLux led.

I have the LED upgrades for 3 d-cell lights and 2 aa-cell lights but have not installed them yet.

Well once being in the hardware business I did get a lot of free toys
The 3000 lumen million candle supper torch form Cabela's fishing is my favorite.This sucker lights the whole neighborhood up with it's search light quality beam that reaches 3/4 mile
2-1 million power west marine handhelds for the boat
The mag lights are
1-5 cell
2- 3 cell
5-aa
1-sure fire
3 husky leds

heres a link to the spot since mine is stored up on the boat

Got quite a few myself -
6xD maglite
6xC maglite
probably 10 AAA maglites around somewhere
Surefire G2
several Streamlights, including one LED
a couple aviation flashlights (red / white)

and several more that I dont remember!

I would REALLY like a 10x Dominator!

Bumping this thread because I'm in the market for a new flashlight for work. Looking for something with a holder to attach to my belt. Not too big, but bright with a good battery life.

I had the Streamlight Strion, but the batteries are no longer holding a charge. I'm not looking for a rechargeable type again, but open to all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

How's Fenix for a brand?

Same here. I want one that will penetrate dark wine bottles so I can view the cork. A few collectors use Surefire, but I am sold only on that brand. Nothing too expensive... Any suggestions?

I use a Streamlight MicroStream. Its tiny but will provide plenty of working light. May not be as wide a beam as you need but it would serve as a good back up too. Its bright and it only uses 1 AAA that lasts a long while.

I have a Fenix TX20 and I am happy with it's performance.

I am a big flashlight guy including collecting some vintage stuff. Have a nice collection of Vintage Big Beam Lanterns beginning with my Father's original 1956 Big Beam 164 and a 50's vintage 166 in the box. All mine are pre-Teledyne made by U-C in the good ole U.S.A.

I have found that Mag Lite makes about the best for the $, now that is not to say that stuff like the Surfire does not exceed the Mag performance but it is also a huge price difference but sometimes may be warranted with tactical light needs.

All that said there is a very small hands on owner operated company called Malkoff Devices, Ltd. Gene Malkoff is a super guy and produces major league upgrades for many lights that includes some unblievable LED systems for Mag Lite products. Most of the time there is a waiting line for his more popular upgrades but you can get on an email notification list for when they come available. I have his LED Upgrade in a couple of 4-cell Mag Lites and holy cow are they impressive.
