I keep an old 2-Cell D Maglite next to my bed and anytime I hear a noise, power goes out, need a quick light, etc. I grab the big, bulky, dimly lit Maglite and head off.
At 27 lumens, this light packs a significantly smaller punch than my smallest EDC light, a 50/250 Lumen microsrtream, smaller than ONE of the batteries in my Maglite.
Sure, the thing can run for 8 hours with no problem, and I guess one could argue the heft of the damn thing is a weapon in itself.
Anyone else still use an old school Maglite or am I just crazy over here?
