Sneaky man. Got me all excited; it's just the entree portion! Bummer, but good at the same time. Honestly, for a short term, do I really need chiclets?

"It's because I am a cheap date with a tight fisted technique with money."

I should introduce you to my sister, I'm sure it would be a match made in heaven. When she was five, she was said to "hold onto a nickel until the buffalo screamed for mercy". Since then, she's gotten really tight.

I think I'm her heir, if I can outlive her. grin

On the 3D maglite front, there is a new LED insert, the TerraLUX MiniStar5 SSC P4 TLE-6E, available at batteryjunction.com (http://www.batteryjunction.com/tle-6k2.html). You can see comparison beams here:

While it's a bit pricey ($26.95) compared to a stock mag, if you use the 3D frequently (as do I) the battery use alone in a years time will save you the amount you pay on the bulb...plus you get more light and for longer periods of time. I'm happy with my units.

...now I await a similar effort for minimags!

BTW, for small lights, the first Crees have hit the shores...you'll see many more very soon.
