this be a great product consider the price . sure you 'll always find better Luxeon lead flashlight , but none that can turn into a candle . the flashlight be great for blackout , for any night activity , and it beat the led upgrade kit for the regular Mini mag . it emit a bright , far-traveling light that will not disappoint you . it also have the cool feature that even though we be deal with lead light , MagLite manage to retain the focusability feature of the flashlight , and the ability to change from spotlight to floodlight . the performance be way better than the regular minus mag . you do not get those annoying rings\/dark dull patch of distorted light . this flashlight produce a focus , uniform circle of light . Pretty neat for the price . use it for everyday task , and make sure you keep one in the car . although it be a great tool , I would not recommend it for tactical use . other than that it be great -lrb- although it be true that it lack a orifice on which to attach a lanyard -rrb- . either way , you should not be disappoint with this new addition to the MagLite family .
