Problem with Maglite torches is they have sat on their laurels for too many years and not kept up to date with technology.The quality is great and these torches do last a lifetime, I have a 6 cell that I've had for 26 years or so and is still in perfect working condition. If only they had an LED instead of the bulb they would be so much better, they would be brighter and the batteries last so much longer.Easy to say buy the LED version but it costs a small fortune whereas you can just buy the standard one and get a multi-mode LED for a few pounds extra turning it into the torch it should have always been.Cost seems to have gone up considerably, more than doubled since I bought my 6 cell which is odd as the design is exactly the same so no further development costs.So Mag, stick an LED in it and sell it for $30 (the 2 cell) and you will be back on a winner but the present price of $40-$50 is way too high.
