Lowball for this instance's standards, but I was gifted this mini Maglite six months ago and I've now got the bug. SO useful and I'm always the weirdly prepared guy now. (lemmy.world)

Particularly with disposable lithium batteries. It's not the approach I take (I always have a light in my pocket), but it makes a lot of sense.

In the incan versions, lithiums blew out the bulbs faster, unfortunately. Also, Energizer has recently jacked up the prices of lithium AA/AAA cells to annoying levels. I wonder why no one else makes them. Oh well, there are still CR123A's.
