BOMBER BATTERY EATER.

Bomber, with good beam and adjustable focus that works. Works in candle mode in a tent but not good for standing on anything thats not a table! Waterproof, dropped mine in a river at night, found it due to the beam and it was fine.

Bought mine in the USA to save on the price. Eats batteries quickly.

If you want a small bomber torch and your not worried about battery life then this is a well recommended torch.

GOOD PRACTICAL AND TOUGH TORCH LET DOWN BY BATTERY EATING

Bright
Adjustable beam
Candle mode
Lanyard attachment for hanging in tent

Eats batteries quickly

There are good things to note about the Maglite, it is tough, it has a spare bulb in the base and it is good and bright. Where it falls down is it's use as a tent lamp. The candle mode is strong and the lanyard allows it to be hung from the top of our tent. The problem is that we have eaten 2 AA batteries in just 7 hours of candle usage. This makes it very unpopular as a tent lamp for our multi-day expeditions. We are going to look at the NitePalm 4, we will let you know how we get on.
