Constant reliability
Maglite has always been a brand with very good, sturdy flashlights. They fell behind for a while when the explosion of LED sources came about, but they have caught up. The XL-50 if one example of the rapidly changing technology of LED flashlights; you can find thre or four different models of it with different outputs. The 200 Lumens is currently the most powerful, but in a few months here will probably be a 240 or 300 Lumens model. There is only so much light that you can effectively use if you are a camper or want the flashlight for emergencies around your house. If you want to blind someone in the net state from yours, go for one of those monsters that are out there and that will cost three times as much and won't last as long. The Maglite XL-50 is sturdy, reliable and uses common AAA batteries. has a couple of modes that allow you to prolong the life of the batteries by using it at only 25% of the power. I highly recommend it.
