I have not really paid much attention to Maglite lately. They were slow to adopt LED technologies, the industrial design while solid has pretty much never changed – the brand had become stale and boring. There are probably many reasons for the stagnation, included the founder’s nasty divorce and protracted legal battle. But whatever the reason, it appears to be in the past. The company has finally begun introducing new products starting with XL100.

While the design is a dramatic departure from a traditional Maglite, overall it is nothing revolutionary, rather it brings the brand more inline with the industry’s current offering. The “magic” if you will is in the user interface and overall value. Instead of spending a 1000 words, describing it to you, check out the video below, keeping in mind you can pick on up for about $30, I would say the XL100 is solid piece of equipment worthy of adding to your toolbox, vehicle, etc…
