>The MX-991/U Flashlight (aka GI Flashlight, Army flashlight, or Moonbeam) from the TL-122 military flashlight series of 1937-1944 and is a development of the MX-99/U flashlight issued in 1963. In use since the Vietnam War, the MX-991/U has been made by various contractors over the years, including GT Price, Bright Star, and Fulton Industries. MX-991/U flashlights currently issued to the United States Army and United States Marines are produced by Fulton Industries.

Why is an incandescent bulb flashlight powered by D Cell batteries still being issued when compact and powerful LED options are available?
