In the December ON on page 116, Kit Vercella reviews a tactical LED flashlight that sells for $70.
I just bought a Mag-Lite XL50 that does all the same things for less than 1/2 the price.
What flashlight do you carry on your bike?

Get these at Harbor Freight, they work great, cost effective, if you loose one no big deal. I got them stashed everywhere. Sometimes you get them for free with a coupon. Good stocking stuffers too.
