I retired my Maglite 3D a long time ago for my Streamlight. When my life is on the line, I can't afford to have a dim, yellow beam with dark spots. But for those situations where a tactical light is just overkill, this little baby still finds it's way into my tool box. I actually still keep several of these around. They've all been modified with Terralux Tail Cap Switches. One with a red lamp in the glove box so that I don't ruin my night vision or have that bright glare in the windshield. Another converted with a 140 lumen LED that I keep around for peeking under the hood. No homeowner should be without an ultraviolet lamp for checking his sheets for semen when he returns from work. Wives lie. Forensics don't. With a little imagination, a roll of duct tape, some bailing wire, a pack of zip ties, and some double sided mounting adhesive; there's no telling what you could do. I can't count the number of times I've used my Mini-Maglite, a Swiss Army Knife, a paperclip, and a piece of gum to get me out of a jam.
