Sounds like you've might've gotten a bum one? I've never heard anyone really complain about the 6P before, and on flashlight forums I've read about people abusing the hell out of their 6P (or the G2) and they keep on working.

You drop a maglite and it breaks, they're not going to fix it. From what I've been told, Surefire will (unless, of course, you threw it against a wall!) you have a valid complaint and Surefire's warranty is very good that way, they treat their customers very well.

The only thing I dislike about those high intensity lights with fixed focus is they're too bright for "close" work. Its another reason I'm getting the L2 lumamax. Its low power setting is 15 lumens, perfect for close/general work.

I guess if you're okay with lugging those heavy maglites around, then its fine. That's a big reason I don't use mine.
The mini-mag lite is a joke, but hey.. its a $10 light, and *would* be a good in-car map reading light if it didn't have that dark donut beam pattern.

You can get Luxeon LED upgrade heads for most Mags now, which would give you a slightly brighter light with a more "white" light, and likewise a slight increase in battery life. The LED won't blow or break.
