The battery life should be better with the LED's

The big Mag light with five batteries like Grandpa has?   It's like a Billy club

I have one of those, changed the bulb to LED and it will light for an insane amount of hours.

It was years ago, it was at the store where I bought the flashlight. I am sure you can find them online now.

I have had this MAG light for at least 15 years now.

Thanks .I'll look Online then -I've had this one many years now as well.

Both Amazon and Temu have  LED flashlight batteries in both the "drop in"  and screw in bases.  They are likely also  available in hardware and  sporting goods stores.   If  you get them for your flashlights and they don't seem to work,  turn the batteries around  and try again..  LED bulbs are directional and some flashlights are wired center contact negative instead of positive like most are .

My uncle hit a guy across his head with MAg  lite 4 cell flash light.  He said he swung as hard as he could . The guy just rolled over  and did not move. It splt the guys head  like a mus mellon.  Blood pouring over his face.   My uncle said he figured he :"Kilt him" ( Killed him ..flatlander speech)

My uncle said he was busy trying to make  sure his female deputy sheriff partner could breathe. The guy had her down coking her.  My uncle said it was faster to hit the guy than shoot him and risk hitting his partner.  He said while he was reviving his partner the guy got up and ran,  

The mag lite is aircraft grade aluminum.

I have had a few of those, the last one was long and slinder shaped like a bat, infact it was called a Bat Light. The problem i had with the last 2 i owned the battery would coorode in there and had lots of trouble getting the batterys out, didnt know if it was the aluminun causing it or bad batterys.

Cops liked them.   However, the rechargeable "clip on the bill of your hat" LED lights are great.  I got one in my stocking for being a good girl!

They are durable and last long, dropped mine many times and still works.

I was referring to the Mag light. 

At work I have one of those cheaper rechargeable lights that clip to a hat since we have to wear bump caps. Doesn't have a laser pointer, but it works great to keep my hands free.

I have a cheaper hat clip but my new one has a band and hat bill clip....goes both ways you might say...
