LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maglites were the light to have back in the 80's but for not much more money you can get alot better flashlight (I am referencing the Maglite with the regular bulb, the LEDS they make now are decent.). If you want to step up a little I recommend a Streamlight Scorpion. Small, super bright and nearly indestructable. Only around $50 makes it even better. I have a couple and love them.I have several Maglite 4 D LED lights that are great for the money and a couple of 2 AA LED Maglites. They are above average but I'd like to pick up something a few notches above.

Most high quality flashlights that are not rechargable use the lithium batteries. They are as cheap as any others though....GT's has lithiums for $1.50 a piece.I'm pretty happy with the Maglite LED models. They are at least the more modern variety. I've looked at the Streamlight models... but I do want to keep with something that uses standard batteries. I'll look some more.
