I got one some time ago and run it as I did with my first blue MiniMaglite back in the year 2000, with Energizer Photo Lithium. It is a game changer with the light and now that we have access to German made Xenon bulbs it couldn't get any better.

MAGLITE Family shot! Just scored a 5D from the 'bay and completed the 2cell-6cell widebody pre-panther logo straight. My 3D and 4D are TM bezels...

Did I miss a post or two?
I highly recommend 7C. Love mine.

Very nice. Yes, I'd say a 7D and 7C should be next on the list.
It is a great light I have one but it doesn't quite fit his collection.

Source for German made Xenon's?
Not to my knowledge. No big ones like Kel-Lite either.

Judging by the early parts sheets on Jason's site they had plans in place to make a large head, but the accepted story is they dropped the idea before producing any. I haven't seen anything similar for small heads. However early Mag-Lite boxes refer to the single Mag head size as "small" on D-cell lights and "medium" on C-cell models so that may be where that idea comes from.
Additionally, several companies were making small head police lights when Mag-Lite hit the market. If you see a B-Lite from behind it looks more like a Mag than, say, a Kel-Lite would.

Example of what (bulbs?) do you have made in Germany?
