[AT] Todays flashlights

[David Bruce]

I used to carry a C cell Maglite because I could easily slip it in my 
back pocket while I was working. I previously had tried the D cell but 
it was a bit tougher to handle. Both were very durable however and to 
this day reside in my office as power out lighting. Obviously the 
current models are far out of my price range.

I have a number of the AA cell Maglites which reside in various places 
like glove boxes, near typical seating spots in the house and such.

Along with these I also have a LED flashlight that is actually 3 LED 
lights connected such they can be ganged together or used individually - 
powered by AA batteries (2 for each lighting unit). When used in gang 
mode there are legs that can form a tripod so the unit can be used in a 
reasonable hands free mode.
