@blaineg@hchavers@SevenT9 Not exactly. A lot of LED lights have newfangled switches that are electronic and don’t completely disconnect. This one has a good, old-fashioned switch like in your grand-dad’s flashlight. “What was old, is new again” - or at least, what was old, can be used for marketing purposes.
We have several once wonderful Maglite weapons (various D-cell and AA-cell counts) sitting lonely on the shelf, a couple of them even retrofitted with LED modules from their original battery-sucking halogen bulbs.

Can the batteries be replaced, and what size are they?
@hchavers Mr. Fusion.
@hchavers write-up says 4 D batteries
@hchavers
“Takes 4 D-Cell batteries and does this thing where it automatically disconnects them from the circuit to save battery life”
@hchavers @SevenT9 So they invented the OFF switch?

@blaineg @hchavers @SevenT9 I think that means it randomly switches off to save power, most likely during critical operations in the dark.
Looks like 4 D’s but how do they manage to get only 650 lumens out of that?

@blaineg Likely trading lumens for run time…or not overstating lumens like most flashlights do.
At first glance at the photo I thought this was a bong.
How much of a delay is there going to be on shipping from Meh?
We no longer do D-cells. Too many good lithium ion rechargeable options at good prices, both proprietary built-in battery and 18650 cell.

@RedOak Maybe they need an upgrade?
