MagLites

[skeet]

I have used mag lites for many years. HAve only had i where the batteries leaked. My fault as it was one of my firefighting lights(2AA size) that I had on my helmet(after I retired). Forgot to take the batteries out and after a couple or 5 yrs they kinda died. The larger D size lights I put D ring end caps on and put lanyards on them. When duck hunting I would put one with a large lanyard over my shoulder so I could see the tangles etc of decoy lines when putting out the decoys in the dark. Great lights. One word of caution though. If using in a salt water environment rinse them down afterwards. Any aluminum lights will react badly to the salt in that water. Once had a friend drop one overboard in kinda salty waters in Chesapeake bay. We finally retrieved it after about 10 days. Still had no water in it and after replacing the batteries(it was on when it was dropped overboard)..it lit right up. The anodized finish took a bit of a beating though. We had to wait for a very low tide to find it
