Maglites are brighter than ordinary flashlights by an amount that varies depending on how bright the original ordinary flashlight was, of course, as one would expect.
Different stations will use different flashlights in the United States. Most stations have switched over to the much brighter light provided by an LED flashlight.
Generally speaking, high-quality LED headlights are 5-10 times brighter than halogen lamps and xenon lamps, and their lifespan can reach 30,000 to 50,000 hours, far exceeding halogen lamps (about 500-1,000 hours) and xenon lamps (about 2,000-5,000 hours).
The former is 10 times brighter than the latter.
Bodywork is Anodised 6061 Aluminium alloy. The Front cover is made of Lexan (a high durability plastic) and other materials are used for various components such as rubber for the switch cover and gaskets. This is true of all Maglites except the MagCharger which is built to a much higher standard, utililising a Soda Glass front cover (to cope with high temperatures as it is considerably brighter than a standard C/D Maglite).
Yes, in "absolute magnitude", Mizar is much brighter than the Sun.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) flashlights tend to last longer and they do not omit the yellowish coloring that an incandescent flashlight does. LED flashlights will also be lighter in weight compared to incandescent flashlights. Although the cost of LED flashlights can be a bit higher than a conventional flashlight, one would find it worth the extra cost due to it's higher energy efficiency and longer lasting life.
"The sun began to shine much brighter after it moved out from behind the clouds."
It's the same as the sky is brighter when the Sun is up, only not as much.
The Sun, which is a fairly ordinary star, is the closest star to Earth. I presume that's not what you meant. The next closest is Proxima Centauri, a dwarf star 4.2 light years from our system, and its much brighter companion Alpha Centauri is next closest.
Our Sun appears brighter than Alpha Centauri B because of its proximity to our point of view. We are much closer to our Sun then any other star which means that our Sun will be much brighter then everything else in the sky.
The sun appears brighter than Rigel does because it is much closer to us by a factor of about 50 million.
