>>Mag lights make better batons than lights, there are any number of better flashlights on the market. <<
Depends on your criteria, I guess.
Mags are not high-tech by any means, or energy-efficient, and they weigh a ton... but they sort of remind me of the old EV-664 directional microphones. After a while, they were far from the best mics out there, but in a pinch you could drive nails with them, they'd be fine... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I carry Photons, Mags live in a drawer.
