Title: Weak beam with annoying flash options
Product review: Picked up one of these Maglite LED 2AA lights on Black Friday. Trying it out, the light projected is about half that of a Streamlight flashlight that uses only one AA battery. It's also much more blue of a light. With new batteries, the beam seems quite weak.Next, I tried the options for a flashing beam, 25% power, and SOS. The packaging included no instructions as to how to use these. After a bit of experimentation, I found the Maglite cycles between all the options. If you want a normal, solid beam, you can use it once. After that, you much turn the Maglite on and off several times to cycle through all the other options.I want a flashlight that works without me having to turn it on and off several times to get a normal beam of light. Back this goes to the store, as other brands such as Surefire, Fenix, and Streamlight do better.
