I still use maglites. They are not bad lights even if there are newer designs out there. Just because a woodworker has routers and saws and such doesn't mean they can't use a hand plane or sandpaper for certain jobs, i.e. there is nothing wrong with older tech just because its older, if it gets the job done then use it. For outdoors atuff I haven't found leds to shine as far as a plain old mag. But if you want there are plenty of led upgrade modules for mags.
