I also carry a mini mag
light for the preflight.


I know you can't beat the mini-mag, for size and performance, but I have a hot
tip for you.

Get a replacement bulb for the big mag lights, or you can by one with the new
bulb in it. Mine is a 3 cell, but they also make it in 4 cell; I don't remember
about other sizes.

The magical bulb I speak of is a 3 watt LED, and I'm telling you, you have to
see it to believe it.

Color, the brilliance of white - like daylight. Brightness, like you would not
believe.

Check it out. A little under 20 bucks, for just the bulb. Worth every penny,
especially for something like a preflight, where it is "nice" to be able to see
into every nook and cranny, with clarity.
