I just watched a couple of new videos from u/Lumencraft_Matt on the Maglite ML300LX that make it look like Maglite may have finally fixed a lot of the issues people used to have with their lights.
The funny part is that after watching this video I thought it was something newly released and Matt had first dibs on a review and was the first to the publish. I have heard absolutely nothing about this light before this point. I was excited to get one to see for myself how it compares to the ST3D016 LED Maglite I bought in 2009 whose replacement started my journey here. It turned out to be difficult to tell from Reddit, YouTube, BLF, and other sources that this light has actually been released to the public since 2015-ish!

Its interesting to see how much influence the community has over perception of a specific brand or light. This was on the market for over 10 years now, but as an avid enthusiast I still had never heard of it until now.
Looks like its still got a budget green emitter but admittedly still makes a better 'security blanket' bonk light than my P20 😬. Nothing beats the hefty shaft of 3D cells.
