Title: A lit match is brighter
Review: These were fine in their day, but have been eclipsed by much better, brighter AA or AAA flashlights. I decided to try upgrading two old ones I own to the newer LED and Xenon bulbs. Both bulbs were available at the box store and very reasonable. Sadly, neither bulb did much to improve the amount of light these Mini MagLites produce.I didn't test lumens or anything like that. I just added fresh batteries, turned them on in a room with daylight coming into it, and you could just see a small circle of light on the wall at 6'. At 8' they were almost invisible. Better technologies have passed these by.
