My oldest Fenix is 6 years old and still as good as the day I bought it. One of the first LED flashlights.

Pap

Sharpi,

Much to my surprise they do. Google Maglite LED.

I have tried the LED conversions for Maglights. They are not great.....

Thanks for this thread. I am thinking it is time to look for an updated flashlight. That world passed me by pretty darn fast.

The 3D cell is the largest one I've had. There's one clipped to the seat of my Jeep Wrangler.

Tom,

Think I had the same one at some point. It came as a duo with a Mini from Costco, maybe
$30?

Good topic, indeed! I am not a "junkie" but put the brakes on each and every time I pass a flashlighter set up at the shows. Here's my EDC. One in each console, one of each of my 4 tackle boxes, one in my nightstand here and at the hunting camp and, of course, one in a my hunting rucksack!
The one shown here is over 10 years old..."NOTHING" has malfunctioned. It takes 2 ea. 123's and the "only" on-off switch is a push-button, enclosed and weather-tight in the butt end! You can ask, Billy, Ken or James...I seldom have a flashlight on me, indoors when I need it! Of course, I never "really" need it cause:
A) I've got one in my Filson bag
B) I've got one in my briefcase
...&...C) I've got James, Ken or Billy right there, sometimes all "3"!
Warren: I gotta' get one of those battery holders...Awesome.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: I cannot tell you the amount of "Lumens" the Scorpion has but I'm sure before the electronic ink dries on this post, somebody will tell us! I can tell you this: It will stay shining and bright, trailing whitetail in the woods, for 2 hours straight. The shelf life on the batteries is 10 years and I can pick up:
* Blood
* Hair
* Bone
...@ close range (10-15 yards)

* "&" a dead deer's open eye at 100 yards in the woods. All I would ever ask for.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

The "Randall" of flashlights is Fenix. Far superior to anything on the market today. Other may come close, but Fenix is top of the line, IMHO.

Pap

Cap,

Scorpion was my first holy sheet light. Its awesome, only fault is the bulb life; I've had one dark out. The LED flashlights that replaced it are much better.

I'll edit to say I still use it. It doesn't have low levels of power options. It's now a backup light and still a bright one for sure.

Pap-N-Warren,
A) I never said mine was the best
B) I have not had a "bulb" problem but would agree LED's are better.
C) If I need a flashlight/Randall comparison, I'll rig up a Model #18 with a flashlight in the handle...(Ha-Ha!)
Kiddin' of course, Capt. Chris
PS: My point to my Scorpions is that they are hearty, work perfectly and are...(are you ready?)...ALL I NEED! That's all...CCS
