I had a conventional Mag-Lite Mini, which did a great service in the police field me. After about 15 years, the rear closure was no longer open. The part was oxidized hopeless. For this I must mention that I, the lamp always on my belt use, in an open case, and was exposed to this all weathers. As a replacement for my trusty tool I have now opted for the mini LED. To my impressions: The part acts like Mag-Lite usual high quality and fits comfortably in your hand. Here there is no difference to the "old Mini-Mag". By the light I can only agree with one of my previous reviewers. In daylight, the LED light is hardly what ago. But with different illuminations, there is the first "wow factor" box joints and difficult to access dark spots are suddenly fully illuminated and clearly visible. Now to the actual application: night and darkness. Here I was amazed when I used the new device when it rains. The Mini LED formed a right headlight. The the illuminated objects were well lit and showed even at a distance of about 200 meters something like color fidelity.
Long story short, I can recommend this unconditionally lamp.
