    Is this normal for a Maglite ML50LX?

    Yes, that's pretty bad. Looks used to me. I'd return it. I do not care for amazon. I ordered one thing, and it did not go well. Never did business with them again. I've had better luck with ebay, although I don't know if it is accessible to you in your location. At least you can ask...

    21700 LED THROWER OPTIONS

    I got the Fenix TK20R V2.0. It's not a full blown thrower, but reaches out very well, and is not overly large. Runs on a 21700 and can be carried easily in a pocket, as well as in a holster. Has the charge port covered by an O-ring protected screw cover, although I don't use the charge port...

    Maglite 2D mods and options

    I have the 5K Lumencraft, but I believe it only comes in 3500 lumens these days.

    Maglite 2D mods and options

    I agree with @alpg88 ... the Maglite zoom is useless, for the most part. I've modded many older Mags to brighter LED upgrades, and usually calibrate the head so that it's on full focus hot spot when tight. A decent LED will give you some decent spill, with no need for zooming. If you're going...

    True cost to run EV like paying $17.33 per gallon if not for $22 billion in government subsidies.

    It's obvious that you're an obedient little sheep. The fact checkers that you use, including that one, will give you leftist answers every time. Newsmax is WAY more trustworthy than any mainstream corporate media outlet, but I know you will never believe that, because you've bought into the...

    New “water batteries” won’t catch fire or explode?

    Very interesting.

    True cost to run EV like paying $17.33 per gallon if not for $22 billion in government subsidies.

    Article dated March 5, 2024. Newsmax was talking about this last night. The climate freaks have been trying to bury this study since 2022. https://nypost.com/2024/03/05/business/evs-release-more-toxic-emissions-are-worse-for-the-environment-study/

    RuPaul, flashaholic - who knew?

    Dave, I guess my joke totally went over your head.

    True cost to run EV like paying $17.33 per gallon if not for $22 billion in government subsidies.

    Leftists NEVER want a fair & honest debate, especially when they are dealing with fake facts, and they know they can't win. If it doesn't fit their narrative, it gets cancelled or rationalized away. I could point to many examples, but I'll stay away from that area.

    RuPaul, flashaholic - who knew?

    At this point, that's the best one liner of 2024, by far.:clap::buttrock:😂😆😁👍 That's the first time I've been called more weird than Rupaul ... I think ... I HOPE! 😲😮😧 Just thinking ... did Mr. Ru say why he actually likes flashlights? I'm guessing maybe a 4D Maglite could be one of his...

    18650 case?

    I got some of these in different sizes. They're waterproof and fairly heavy duty. https://countycomm.com/collections/capsules/products/delrin-aaa-battery-locker-waterproof

    How do you get your drinking water?

    The tap water in our small local towns is HORRIBLE. It's very hard, corrodes faucets, stains tubs & commodes, and tastes terrible. If you make a cup of tea, it looks like a rainbow colored oil slick floating on top. It regularly fails the required tests. There are several springs nearby...

    RARE MAGLITES

    Very nice. Yes, I'd say a 7D and 7C should be next on the list.

    More EV negatives

    I wouldn't know. I stopped reading his gibberish run-on paragraphs over a month ago. If I believed in fake news conspiracy theories, I could just turn on CNN or MSNBC and get it straight from the source.

    Dual fuel emergency light

    Malkoff MDC XPL runs on a 16650 or 2 x CR123s. Doesn't have moonlight, but has a 30 lumen low. I got one and it's a nice & very dependable light. Several Fenix lights can use an 18650 or 2 x CR123 cells. https://malkoffdevices.com/products/copy-of-mdc-xp-l-16650-500-lumen-flashlight

    Show your beat up light.

    I really like my T4 ti, and have a T3 ti on order. Those S2s look pretty sweet too, for the price ... will likely get one of those in titanium also. Love the ano wear on your Maglite. That's one to hold onto.

    More EV negatives

    The US has improved its air quality in many ways since the 1960s and 1970s, including vehicle emissions - ways that many countries larger than the US have not. We should be hammering those countries before we flush our own economy down the toilet over "climate change" ... but further discussion...
