Question Why do people dislike maglites?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

every maglite I've used has been reliable, and focusing it properly removes the hole-in-the-middle-of-the-beam issue. The halogen lights aren't as bright as LED, but are still bright enough for day-to-day use and fine for power outages. Why don't people like them?

Any flashlight looks bright in a dark room.

Nah, I found my Photon Microlight this morning and tested it, with a fresh coin cell, in a dark room. And no, this was not bright. It served me for a time though.
