Now that its dark alot more i have been useing a light more often. Is it me or does every light lose its brightness? My big maglight has a bark spot in the center of its beam i changed its bulb but that didnt help and it dosent seem any better than a candle.

These new pen lights have insanely bright lamps, no dark spots. Some are rechargeable. Our company supplies us with a little 4x6 LED floodlight with a magnetic base. It recharges off a USB and runs nearly 6 hours before fading

I got one off of amazon for $70 that puts the high beams in my truck to shame.

I've got a bunch of the old yellow beams that go dark just before you are doing something critical. This time of year I get the Costco packs of batteries and I'm just hating them. Does anyone know if there might be a retro LED bulb or set up that might replace the filament burners. I hate to just throw away something that works but it looks like the new technology might make me add to the landfill problems again.

I found a LED upgrade for my maglight on amazon. A big improvement. Also becoming a fan of the headlight type lights.

I have carried a Sure fire LED light for 13 years. I ran over it once with a 16 really tough, really spendy though and the batteries are those 123 lithiums also a little pricey. However it cranks out bright dot free light. I also carry a Dewalt 20 volt 3 LED light. If those don't do it... I'm waiting daylight.

Maglights go in the trash unless you have the need to club someone in the head.
Switched to a Streamlight Stylus Pro pocket flashlight years ago and always have it with me. It's blindingly bright. On the shelf at the local Batteries + Bulbs stores everywhere I've been.
