I have already bought a MagLite LED 4 and a 3-cell for about 2 years ago. The levels of these lamps is not so good in the wide-angle end (a big black hole in the middle) either making progress or the lamp MagLite with 2 batteries is better than the models with 3 or 4 batteries. For this price, absolute buy recommendation. You will be amazed, because LED is a distinct advantage! In addition, 3 or 4 cells need not be absolute since the levels of 2 cells lamp best illuminates a large area at wide angle. The spot features are similar despite different cells number and of course dimensions and weights of all 3 models.
