I buy a 3-d cell maglite for a hike trip in the nc mountain in 2003 - to this day , it be still my go-to flashlight . Great build quality , good battery life , good focus ability , and the ability to hunt small mammal if need be ; what else can you ask for ? in the future , I probably will pick up a lead light of some kind , but I be not get rid of the original mag anytime soon .
