Customer Reviews: Right Tool For The Job October 10, 2009 Inspector Nash Bridges (Baghdad by the Bay) Not the brightest. But great for the price. You don't always need a tactical light. A roll of duct tape, some double sided adhesive, some zip ties, and a little imagination are all you need to have a lamp on your helmet, headlight on your bicycle, or even illuminate a jack-o-lantern without worrying about a fire hazard or the wind blowing it out. Perfect for an 8 year old to read comic books with under the covers. And it evens becomes a serious close quarters tool with a few mods from Terralux. Make it an LED light, and carry with a Leatherman. I like using it for home inspections and peeking under the hood. Modify it with an ultra violet lamp. Check the sheets when you get home from work. Wives lie. Forensics don't.

I retired my Maglite 3D a long time ago for my Streamlight. When my life is on the line, I can't afford to have a dim, yellow beam with dark spots. But for those situations where a tactical light is just overkill, this little baby still finds it's way into my tool box. I actually still keep several of these around. They've all been modified with Terralux Tail Cap Switches. One with a red lamp in the glove box so that I don't ruin my night vision or have that bright glare in the windshield. Another converted with a 140 lumen LED that I keep around for peeking under the hood. No homeowner should be without an ultraviolet lamp for checking his sheets for semen when he returns from work. Wives lie. Forensics don't. With a little imagination, a roll of duct tape, some bailing wire, a pack of zip ties, and some double sided mounting adhesive; there's no telling what you could do. I can't count the number of times I've used my Mini-Maglite, a Swiss Army Knife, a paperclip, and a piece of gum to get me out of a jam.
