Maggot - (There must be a heck of a story behind that name)
In going through past messages, I came upon this one and noticed the reference is to "a flashlight."
I have always tried to carry an "extra" bulb, as a single flashlight with a burned out bulb is useless and frustrating.
In some cases with the newer flashlights, the extra bulb is expensive, bulky and difficult to pack; it is more of an assembly with reflector as opposed to just a bulb.
In all of my nightime excursions, I have never had a "newer" model flashlight lose a bulb.
Anyone else paranoid about this, or is the quaility of the new lights such that it is not necessary?
I do carry a backup as well, so I would not be without some sort of light source.
