I used flashlights for many years Maglight because I was professionally mostly at night on the road. Maglights were formerly at any rate quite simply the best (but also the most expensive). Went Kaput me never is, despite rough handling, but stolen several times. In remembrance of times gone by I've bought myself a Mag XL 100. I walked's how almost all reviewers: After 5 minutes, I wanted to shoot the thing in the corner, after half an hour I thought it was great. The build quality is still very good. The functionality is very good for some useful purpose. Many users will not be able to as many do with it .. The automatic Dimmodus is quite useful for people who put away the lamp often because they need but what eg repair in a Comuptergehäuse but every now and then the lamp, - automatically switches when moving back light, - (a constantly very bright funzelnde through the area lamp can there be a real nuisance and dazzle or disturb the view). The signal mode allows eg. the lamp is turned on at night to lay with the tent. The groping hand finds then in the pitch-dark night, because it turns on itself already back at a slight touch. Who is a desperate times crawled at night on the tent floor in search of his lamp searched appreciate it. For my taste, the lamp is very bright, almost too bright, but one can so abdimme as mans needs. I do not need a portable Super headlights (such as some photo friends or poaching) and the maximum brightness is not the measure of all things for most purposes. But some simply do not fit a lamp for this price range. for example that there is no wrist strap (plumps that's it? is once again in the dirt) not even a hole there for that! The completely round lamp comes eg Sevicearbeiten easy ball rolling - and away she disappeared in the depths of a control cabinet, - again. A simple tactile marker on the end cap would have sufficed to find the individual work modes in the dark, - but nothing there! You can do it all yourself retrofit eg with adhesive Velcro tape, but at the price it should not be necessary to have to tinker! And it would have been best to make the switch again with the thumb-operated, so you do not have to turn in an impossible position to take in hand and grip the lamp. I would buy the lamp yet again; Reason: Features found nowhere else out there, good workmanship, long warranty, high utility value, extremely economical battery consumption (up to 200 hours) (even with very old ausgelutschten batteries from other devices, as I use it, yet useable light output), neutral white Light color, first-class anodizing, looks like a designer piece, not too big, very good brightness, if you still get the sale, it is in any case and many years worth their money. Nevertheless, a star deduction, because the described small inconveniences.
