- Well, I keep a 2 AA size Maglite in each of my two toolboxes, and a
3 D cel Mag under the front seat of my truck. It does pretty good for some
hammer type work...

I got my Solitaire free by answering a survey from ADP back when I
was self-employed. I explained I didn't have a staff, but the caller said
that didn't mind.
I find the bulbs only lose lifespan when you drop the flashlight a
time or two.. they simply aren't shock-resistant.

Yes, I did know there's second bi-pin bulb
held in place of red
holder in Maglite's end cap hidden under that spring.

Hmmm; I'm another magliter, especially the solitaire (1AAA) model.
They're great for looking in dark, recessed spots in old computers :-).

While we're on flashlights I really should rave again
for white LED ones. My favorite can cast a 150
degree solid pyramid of pure white light, absent of
any filament artifacts, for 10 hours off one 9v battery.
If you turn it down 1 notch, you get 100 hours life.
These things are incredible.

They _are_ incredible. And since we're on the "Stupid Laws and
Legislators" kick this week, here's another one. I can't verify it,
though.
One of Austin's City Councilmen wanted to draft an ordinance against
carrying the LED flashlights, as they could be used as a "stunner" in
robberies, rapes, etc. The word I got, from a stenographer, was that he
was temporarily blinded by one. The one he had in his own hand, that
is. He was looking at it in the store, pointed it at his face, and,
yes, you guessed it, pushed the button.
What a maroon. These are the dolts who get to decide what I can and
cannot do.
