I know you can't beat the mini-mag, for size and performance, but I have
a hot tip for you.
Get a replacement bulb for the big mag lights, or you can by one with
the new bulb in it. Mine is a 3 cell, but they also make it in 4 cell;
I don't remember about other sizes.
The magical bulb I speak of is a 3 watt LED, and I'm telling you, you
have to see it to believe it.
Color, the brilliance of white - like daylight. Brightness, like you
would not believe.
Check it out. A little under 20 bucks, for just the bulb. Worth every
penny, especially for something like a preflight, where it is "nice" to
be able to see into every nook and cranny, with clarity.
