Flashlights have come a long way since LEDs have become common

You can retrofit a led bulb into the big ass Maglite and enjoy seemingly unlimited battery capacity.

I have an old LED maglite (Maybe 4D? not sure) and I haven't replaced the batteries in probably almost 10 years and every time I come across it in storage I click it on just to see if it still works. Never fails

I really suggest pulling the batteries, if they leak and corrode the housing they are nearly impossible to remove.

True, but the light will still be subpar compared to a light designed from the ground up to use leds at least, that's been the case with all the maglite led replacements I've tried

They are so mechanical, I wish they made something more human.
