A flashlight’s one of those things a guy won’t realize he needs until it’s too late like the latest version of Flash for a fantasy football draft or ping pong balls for a round of beer pong. If you’re reading this and realizing you need one you’d be wise to go with a feature-packed Maglite XL100. If this Maglite was a car it would combine the rugged durability of a Ford F-Whatever with the intelligence of a self-parking Lexus. The XL100 is driven by the company’s MAG-LED technology and has more features than some digital cameras. The Maglite XL100 has five selectable modes, variable strobe rates, intensity level memory recall and lockout – which is about a billion more things than the one standard flashlight feature – the on/off button.
