Good advice. I don't know how many bulbs I have replaced in my Maglite, sure you keep a replacement in the bottom cap, but what if you forget to put a replacement in? I am now sold on the new LED flashlights. Very rugged, practically impossible to break a bulb, and if you do, their are 8 to 12 more left in the lens. Also, they don't eat up batteries like the bulb kind. They are not for long distance shinning, but for walking along a trail or tieing on a fly (they make great headband ones too) they are fantastic. My furnace repairman had one on his head last winter, he said they make all other types of lights obsolete. FYI, Jonezee
