Summary: Absolutely the best flashlight going
Comment: I first encountered this flashlight during a "ride along" with a police officer friend of mine. For a few weeks, while I was considering becoming a reserve police officer, the local police department was nice enough to allow me to ride along with my friend Dave, who is a police officer for our local department.
All their police cars had the Mag RX1019's wired into the patrol cars. Now, I've had mag flash lights (the battery powered kind) over the years. However, when I first saw my friend light up the night with the RX1019, I couldn't believe how bright it was! I asked him what sort of flash light it was and he showed me it was a rechargeable mag. I was sort of shocked; after all, my mag light looked the same (sans the recharging stuff), but wasn't even half as bright. Dave explained it was because the mag light in the car was always fully charged.
Wow, what a difference. After a few months of ride alongs, I decided against becoming a police officer. However, I did end up buying several of the Mag RX1019 flash lights. I even bought one for my Dad for Xmas.
Let me tell you, this is about the best flash light you can buy. It's always charged and ready to go - you never have to look for batteries. It's super bright and really does an amazing job lighting up the night. In fact, it's practically like having a car headlight in your hand! :-) That's how bright this thing is. The flash light really takes a beating and is very well made. You can also buy aftermarket NiMH batteries if/when needed and these not only have no "memory effect", but double the charge capacity.
Overall, short of spending hundreds of dollars, this is the best flash light money can buy in my opinion. I use mine constantly. I live out in the forest and this flash light works great for lighting up the night and/or when you want to shine it up into a distant tree to find an owl, etc. If you are looking for a top quality flash light, this is the one to get. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.. that's how fantastic a light it is.
