Where is my Bell + Howell Tac Light ?

You must work hard to break your Maglite! Either that, or they are now making them cheaper than they used to.

 

Right! I still have a old bulb style mag that takes many many D cell batteries!

 

Which not only lights well, but is a decent weapon of self defense, should that be needed.

 

You can get a l.e.d. conversion insert

 

I had a Kel lite that used to do that eating batteries bit! Never had the problem with the Mag lite. I liked the spare lamp storage in the end cap with both brands.
My last agency put rechargeable flashlights in all the units. But working the low desert the heat just destroyed those rechargeable batteries. Never bothered my old five cell Mag though. Also used to carry a Mini-Mag on the belt, for those daytime surprises where you find you need a light, but the big one is back in the radio car. They also doubled as a Kubaton.

 

I've heard that those won't take the abuse a regular bulb will, but have no first hand experience with them.

 

Hilarious.

Next time you come to town we'll go to Late Night Slice. They manufacture some #### good pie.

 

Me nither, still have the oem bulb in, and the D's are at least 5 years old, just looked, still bright, no corrosion
