I'm trying to put together info on all the variations of ML series lights.
C cell size:
ML25LT: (2-cell 177 lumens, 319m; 3-cell 173 lumens, 309m) head twists for on/off and focus
ML50L (2-cell: 490 lumens, 299m; 3-cell: 611 lumens, 339m): 4 groups of 3 modes each, 5 different modes total (full, low, eco, strobe, momentary). ML50LX adds knobby knurling.
ML100: (2-cell: 137 lumens, 306m throw; 3-cell 137 lumens 306m). 4 groups of 3 modes, each mode accessed by a single, double, or triple click. 5 modes total: full, low, strobe, SOS, momentary.
ML125: same as ML100, but rechargeable
D cell size:
ML300L: ML300LX adds knobby knurling. These are pretty new.
Thermal-management article section
The "Thermal management" section mentions that Mag Instrument has designed some LED flashlights which must dim themselves over time to stay cool. It adds that the current-generation Maglite LED 2-Cell AA and Maglite LED 3-Cell D have no need to do so. Do any of Mag Instrument's current LED flashlights still need to dim themselves for cooling during extended use? If so, which? When you answer, please specify how you know the answer.

- I know some of the recent Mags seem to have a driver in them that reduces the brightness as the light stays on. This doesn't seem to be thermal because if you quickly turn the light off and back on, it will come back on at full brightness. The effect of this would be to keep the light running cooler, but also to extend battery life (and some say to distort the FL-1 runtime rating which gives you credit down to 10% brightness).
