BD on Jan 22, 2010 - 8:34 PM My Scorpion is circa mid 90's. Bought this light to replace my 2 cell Maglite for duty. It has served me faithfully for 15 years, and never failed me, except when I had discharged batteries. Still has the original bulb; rubber coated body is tough, light output equals or exceeds a 2 D-Cell Maglite, end cap switch is very handy for momentary on use while searching, in the dark. Way better than a Mini-Maglite for belt carry. One awesome light. Get one while you still can!
