That’s true of course - progress will continue to improve the light quality of LEDs. But so far all the LED flashlights I own or have seen don’t have a particularly great light quality. OK for general purpose use though!

I used to feel that way. They seemed to have a “purple flair” around the edges. The ones I have been raving about (the Costco three pack) eliminated that. They are a higher quality light in every way. In fact, even the old ones that were similar, slightly longer, and only 100 lumens kicked the sh** out of my four D cell Mag Lite. In fact, I replaced the batteries thinking they were going dead. They weren’t. The LED’s are so bright that the beam from mag light looked like the beam of a $1.99 flashlight with the batteries failing.
Yes. The difference is that big. I’m checking on the LED conversion for the mag lite, otherwise it is just an ugly paperweight.
