Very interesting comment, Skater, because I just lost a AA Mini-Mag (nearly unused one just for emergency purposes) recently. I actually forgot it was sitting in a sock drawer. :-)

I have a bunch of Mini Mags... one in my room, one in the library (office whatever), one in the car, and one in the parents' room (that's the one that corroded though). Have two 3D cells. Love the toughness of Mag-Lites and am extremely impressed with their reliability, durability, and brightness. Seeing as it is that there are other, better, LEDs out there, is there
1) any one company's LED lights that are simply amazing?
2) any reason why incandescant lamps are still more popular than LED flashlights?

I'm very impressed with my Mini Mag AA... carry it just about everything. But I'm all up for learning about new technology.
