\* this flashlight be only useful to I after fitting a third party lead driver & heatsink \* I live on a rural property with horse and need a flashlight that would be 100 % reliable if it be need in a emergency , include be water and shock resistant . I be also after a flashlight that be able to be use for spot object from a distance . the amount of light this maglite put out in standard form be very disappointing and be not useful for anything I need it to do . I fit a third party malkoff lead drop-in that replace the standard bulb assembly and it transform this light from lame to spectacular . everything else about the Maglite though be brilliant : I value the high build quality , size , weather seal and the simple on\/off switch . this be why the 2d maglite be the flashlight I choose to modify .
