Sorry to be a different voice here, but I don't get what the fanfare is here? So, it's a Mag light and can be bought by the public in a bricks and mortor shop. That's not too useful for most people on this forum. The internet is an easy place to shop and, especially this year, has gotten far more sales than in the past.
I have many flashlights and most of them are more powerful and versatile than this new multimode Mag. So, what's the big deal? For example, my iTP A3 is tiny, uses both a single AAA battery or a10440 li-ion. It puts out twice the lumens on high on a single AAA battery than this Mag apparently does and has a low-low. My Nitecore D10 ramps up with continuous variability and puts out 150 lumens on a NiMH or alkaline AA battery. The iTP costs about the same as this new Mag. Of course the D10 costs more, but it is in the reasonable range for LEDs. I have both the 2AA and 3AA versions of Mag lights, purchased when they first came out a couple of years ago. The hot spot is very small compared to the new XP-G lights, they are too large for my liking, and they aren't that bright. It looks like the hot spot shown here is also small. So, why would anyone here get excited about this. Please help enlighten me? The only advantage I can see is that you might pick it up on sale for around $12 if you are lucky and persistent.
