Speaking of upgrades I just went out and upgraded my Mini Maglight. It already had the NITE-IZE LED bulb with 3x5mm LEDs in it but that wasn't enough to get me to carry it all the time as the beam wasn't very directed or very bright. Today I picked up the 1 Watt NITE-IZE bulb and the tail cap button switch.

Wow, what a difference! I especially like the fact that you can reduce the intensity and that there's a slow flashing red LED in the switch to help you find it in the dark (every time I drop something black in the bush at night I swear I'll never buy black gadgets again...but I do!)

And the fact that there is now two switches is a total bonus. I can't tell you how many times a Maglight has turned on in my bag from bumping around only to be dead when I get to where I'm going. Less a problem since I went to LED but still annoying.
