But in the years since LEDs have taken over everything. I saw all over the internets there are 9 Million lumen lights that cost $50 from no name companies that require difficult to find and pricy CR123 batteries. And all the reviews I read stated that these over rated their lumens.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-EtRk75lVdho\/Ty795tXdgRI\/AAAAAAAAE4M\/pbKEilA7pfA\/s1600\/IMG_4519.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-EtRk75lVdho\/Ty795tXdgRI\/AAAAAAAAE4M\/pbKEilA7pfA\/s400\/IMG_4519.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>With that info I picked up a MagLite XL200.

It has a single button, but that button has a ton of functions, High\/Low\/SoS\/Blink\/Night Light. And then you can adjust the brightness but simply rotating your wrist. Its super insane bright, and at $35 on Amazon you can&#8217;t beat it. It would be a great bike light when paired with a twofish mount for commuters. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maglite.com\/Maglite_XL200_LED.asp\">MagLite says:&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Features:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Spot-to-Flood&#8221; adjustable <br \/>LED beam<\/li>\n<li>Anodized for corrosion resistance and durability<\/li>\n<li>Rugged, machined  aluminum  case<\/li>\n<li>Intelligent Energy Source Management &#8211;  continuously monitors the balance between high brightness and efficient  power usage allowing for prolonged battery life<\/li>\n<li>Powered by three (3) AAA<br \/>alkaline batteries (included)<\/li>\n<li>Individually serial numbered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maglite.com\/images\/ANSI-XL200.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.maglite.com\/images\/ANSI-XL200.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I needed a flashlight, the last one I bought was a MiniMag 2xAA back in&#8230; high school?
