    Maglite ml300l- possibly a newer version? help-what do I have? will it work for me?

    Thanks, this is the kind of info I'm looking for. Although if it begins dimming after 5-10 minutes and drops to half power by like 15-20, I assure I will notice that given my usage. I have certainly noticed it in some other high end lights I've borrowed (that used 18650), some that cost way...

    Maglite ml300l- possibly a newer version? help-what do I have? will it work for me?

    I've seen your posts about your collection of maglites- you're one of the folks I was hoping to hear from! Have a few questions for you. No, I definitely wanted to stay away from the 700 lumen malkoff due to both it's price and need for expensive batteries. In fairness I was too harsh in my...

    Uggghh. The problem is this is exactly my concern. I NEED a light that gives me 600+ lumens for several hours. I don't care if it steps down hard and then only runs briefly before dying after that. I'm not a total newb at quality lights, but I'm not a 'flashaholic' either. So my problem...

    Newb here. I've been lurking recently looking for a pretty bright light (>500 lumens) with long run times and easy off shelf batteries being high on importance. I'm well aware of maglite falling behind the times, but given my requirements you can see why the latest 3 D-cell versions had some...
