we have be buy these Maglite Mini flashlight for quite a while . I have yet to try they lead version , but for now these work perfectly for I . I know that the LED one be supposedly much better , but at this price point , I have a very hard time pass these up . we probably must have about 3 or 4 of these around we home , and I personally keep 1 in every toolbag or toolbox . with the cheap price of these you can have one in every room and anywhere else you can think of . you also have a wide variety of color to choose from , but I stick to the modest , classic black annodized . I know that this be just a review for a simple flashlight , but I believe maglite to be the best , and I hope this review help .
