Title: Newer LED Success!
Review: I had the old three watt led maglite with three AA's. Battery times were flaky, and the tail cap had issues with intermittent contact time and again. Fortunately a rayovac leaked inside and ruined the tailcap and I went searching for another maglite. I wasn't stupid, I have several BIG maglites that I depend on but i knew the little 3 watt had issues. Long story short i arrived at the new LED model and now have 2 of them. The high and low settings are absolutely wonderful and useful. The unit is far brighter than the old 3 watt model and the batteries last a little longer than advertised. I take about a 3 week to month window to use up the batteries at work. The 3 watt lasted about 2 weeks tops. The SOS and blink mode are not useful to me but some survivalist would enjoy that feature. Forget the surefire and other tactical lights and buy a maglite and use the saved money to buy batteries! That is the real cost of ownership!
