If maglites are so good why have you been through so many of them ? Maglites are cheap and cheerful , but if you want a proper combat tested torch which can be mounted to a weapon you need a Surefire torch.Forces worldwide use these badboys and they never fail.

Over rated rubbish.

Maglights are built well, but are crap at being torches.
Dim light, weak bulbs and short-life battery life let them down.

There are far better torches on the market.

I totally agree on that, as you probably know.
The larger sizes even make decent baseball bats. But as a torch, sorry! I use a 3 Euro Duracell rubber coated torch these days and it will beat almost any Maglite as a torch.
Maglites are dick extensions, not torches
