    I hope so. Animal control isn't doing a thing. Already had one dog killed. Can't lose the other or any of my livestock.

    What's that orange item on the trigger? Some kind of block?

    Aluminum County-Comm Maratac 1-cell AA twisty. Very reliable and if my wife loses it, it's not my best one.

    WireCutter agrees with you, mostly for the reasons that you listed.

    I had switched My C Maglite to AAx3 a while back, using junk rechargeable. Finally bought more eneloops.

    Added this little guy that I tend to forget. My original Thrunite Ti3 that started this crazy flashlight ride many years ago. It has a very low sub-lumen FF mode that is great for the late night trips to the can.
    It has been through quite a bit including having a Duracell puke inside.
    I have many pricier lights but this one will stay with me.

    My collection started with the Ti (single mode) and a TiS (dual mode), but my heart jumped when the Ti3 arrived - 3 modes, all very useful and after having lost one and a second died (FF mode only) I still carry my 3rd Ti3 on my keychain.

    I very hard tried to replace it with "something better" but none seems to fit the bill (fire-fly mode, >100 lumen high and some useful mid level with 4+ hours runtime).

    Sometimes it's similar to women: you may want to flirt with others but your wife at home has all what you really need in a single package :cool:

    4 x D cell Maglite, ex police issue

    IMO Maglites aren't the brightest of lights but they can't be beaten for reliability. I have a maglite anywhere I need a reliable light eg bedside and car. The 4 x D cell version is also handy in case of a burglar etc

    Just put in LEDs in your old lights.
