Just thought I would drop some MLLX goodness right here. Missing out of these pics is my red 2 C cell ML50LX. All have glass up front ant nyogel applied to the new style rubber O-ring on the tail caps.

PFFT HAHA! That is correct! Unfortunately it is not there now. It will be getting horribly cold where I am in about a month. Going to change a couple of my LX lights over to AA to D cell adapters and Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA primaries. Alkaline does not do well below freezing at all. Outdoors a lot and use these. Run times are seemingly forever out of all of them.

Do you have the 3 AA to 1D adapters? I have some but have not used them yet. I use LSD NiMh cells and they seem to do very well.

I have those too, and they rock - all I use in my D-cell lights now, with Eneloops in them. Although, in the uber-low temps, I would still use the Energizer lithium primaries. NiMH's don't do well in cold temps either.

The LX versions are real nice, particularly if you have a few other Mags and want something with a bit different look and feel. If you like the look, the fact that the LX's are hard ano'd and a bit grippier makes them well worth the few $ extra.

Indeed, well worth the money. My ML300LX 2 x 'D' is quite possibly the best 'D' cell Flashlight I've owned yet, and I've tried lots of 'D' cell flashlights!
Prior to this I had a three 'D' cell Mag with the replacement LED 'bulb', which of itself was a great improvement over the incandescents. But this Mag is in a different league.

I think the ML50 and ML300 are currently the best C and D cell lights out there, definitely outstanding values! Mag really did a great job with these lights - worthy successors to the old Mags.

If there is anything that surpasses the ML50/ML300 for value, it might well be the ML25 C cell LEDs - amazing lights for the price. Its a shame Mag didn't come out with the incan ML25's back in the late '80's, I'm sure they would have been very popular and share the classic status of the other incan Mags.

I only wish the LX versions were more popular, Mag seems to have stopped offering LX'd versions of their newest variations; I would love a 4D ML300 LX if Mag decides to make 'em - heck I would love a LX versions of the ML25's as well.

Mag is def heading in the right direction with these lights, can't hate on a 4D! I wish Mag would offer some more customization thought. Can't help but wonder when they'll bring their warm tints to the larger lights. Some additional colors, bezels, special editions wouldn't hurt either. Very excited to see what the future holds!
