With all the reliable and well-made LED tactical/non-tactical handheld flashlights nowadays, the Maglite is surely left in the dust. Flashlights that are 1/4 the size of the traditional Maglite are brighter and lighter, and all come with affordable price tags.
The only good thing about a Maglite is being able to use it as a weapon due to its weight.
Check our Surefire, Streamlight, and Fenix...they all have some nice lights at $50 price range.
Also, you might want to start handing out headlamps instead of handhelds. I can't tell you how much I love using them...being able to have both hands free while doing something is very efficient, as well as the fact that a lot of nice headlamps ($30-50) are pretty darn bright.
Just know you have a lot of options.
