It's my second MagLite 3D. The first was unfortunately stolen me. I bought the same again, says it all? Can just recommend also in the size of the MagLite. Is despite (or because of?) The weight and size great in your hand, even if you are traveling at night times longer. I personally find it more so than these tiny lamps such as the Fenix. While that may be just as bright, but the battery consumption is me as simply too high. When MagLite I have many hours of light and has to make me over batteries virtually no thought. And I also do not take switch to power saving mode. Just switch and have light - so it should be. You should only take care, really to buy a LED version, as it sporadically well to buy "old" with a classic filament bulb still. That's my opinion less bright (it did with the replacement bulb tasted that came with my MagLite), anyway, is the light not so nice. And the power consumption is expected to be significantly higher with the classic bulb.
