Never said they are not important (heck I carry one in the daytime)
Never said I use Mag lights (at least not for several years, mag lights are well behind the times in regard to the bulb)
I have fully embraced LED flashlights because of their greatly reduced power consumption.
I don’t need (as I would guess most people don’t) a variable power flashlight.
I'm also very particular about the balance of throw to spill and the size and color of the hotspot in my lights. (Most white LEDs are anything but white.)
So it’s color is different then an incandescent light bulb, how does this stop it from lighting up my yard or a room? It doesn’t!
If you think all flashlights are the same, you may not know enough about flashlights...
Never said that, I said most flashlights will work in most situations.
Try this for 2-weeks, go to a store and buy a normal LED flashlight with o-rings.
It will work if you are indoors, outdoors, when it’s dark, fishing (close to water), when it’s fogy out, and a whole lot of other places you can imagine.
Give it a try, and if you are honest with yourself, you will admit that it did the job just like the super light you have.
I bought one at Target for $19.00, it’s waterproof, explosion proof and I use it for probably an hour every 2-days. Its 2-months old still running on the original batteries and still bright enough to light up my garage from the house (130 feet away.) I use it for a headlight on my bike when riding it at night so it gets at least ½ hr of use a night.
