I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +848 Flashlight POS 4 I buy these for my Milwaukee m12 -lrb- 12-volt -rrb- product since Milwaukee , unbelievably , do not make 12v bulb and put 14.4 v bulb in they light which appear dim and yellow .

I note that one bulb have the filament center , while the other be off-centered and do not give as uniform of a pattern as a result -lrb- contribute for take away a star -rrb- . +276 Flashlight NEU 3 the flashlight be very handy and utilitarian . I like the reliability . it be tough , water resistant , etc. . I must have drop it several time on a concrete and no problem whatsoever . it be bright for the size , especially in total darkness and you can adjust the beam . nice feature and so be the candle mode . now , here be one problem that I have with it . I I usually carry this flashlight on my belt -lrb- under my clothes -rrb- in the nylon sheath it come with . many , many time the head twist make the light come on . it be after a few hour that I notice . it be a waste of battery . the head should not twist so easily as it do . if you do not plan on carry it in the sheath then this should not be a issue , still maglite should solve this problem . other than that , this flashlight be excellent and the quality and material be superb and it be make in usa . for the price , it be worth every penny . +776 Flashlight POS 5 I get 14 year of service from my first rechargeable mag light -lrb- include the rechargeable battery -rrb- . +202 Flashlight POS 4 there be a lot go on within the technology of flashlight recently . LED , Lithium battery , focus bezel , etc. . the Mag Instrument RX1019 Heavy-Duty Rechargeable Flashlight System be a ok rechargeable flashlight . but the technology today -lrb- ie from SureFire and other -rrb- have Mag Lights fall behind a bit technologically . for example , weight and size . if you be in law enforcement and need and depend on escalate use of force -lrb- ie loud assure voice , large heavy flashlight , side arm , shot gun -rrb- , most other situation only criterion for a good flashlight be how much light it put out and the quality -lrb- no dead spot , etc -rrb- of that light . and in the smallest , lightest package . this be where -lrb- in GENERAL -rrb- MagLite have drop off . I must say -lrb- before I get a bunch of negative vote -rrb- that I have own 20 or 30 mag over my work career . and the product be very durable and they be prove reliable . but for the money , I have find that surefire offer a more powerful beam of light . Surefire be lighter too . I have have to depend on my MagLight many time but I have switch to SureFire . it be the 21st Century . John Row +555 Flashlight POS 5 at first glance , I think these bracket be go to be cheap and flimsy . they be quite the contrary . they hold my flashlight with a Kung Fu GI Joe grip ! I love how sturdy they feel . ca not go wrong with these bracket . just make sure you tie they into solid blocking in you wall -lrb- aka you stud -rrb- . otherwise , you may rip a patch of you drywall out of the wall when lift you flashlight out . +787 Flashlight POS 5 what can I say about a battery ... it be the correct product at a good price , it charge up and so far its lighting the maglite . +882 Flashlight NEU 3 I buy this and put it on my flashlight to try it out . when I take it off to install , both the bracket break . sadly , the QuickFist clamp do not fit my application . so I just order anther set . +418 Flashlight NEU 3 glossy , feel kind of cheap but seem to hold up , would prefer a matte black , great for d-cell maglite , i personally use these bracket in my truck , you never know when you 'll need a flashlight so keep it handy for safety be good . +830 Flashlight POS 5 good , steady , bright beam that be package in such a heavy package that it give a nice sense of security when wander the house look for the source of suspicious noise at night .

I keep one in in each of my car for my wife and daughter , and give a extra one to my daughter who live alone in the city . she love it for check out thing that go bump in the night . she say it light up the backyard or hallway like daylight . and I have several cop friend who have buy one base upon use mine . +593 Flashlight POS 4 I use this item several time to look around in my computer case -lrb- and many other computer case -rrb- when little to no light be available . this little extremely portable light do the job just fine . I really so no other use for it as the mini maglight be small enough for almost any job . +813 Flashlight POS 5 bracket work perfectly and do they job well . they hold my d cell maglite tightly and seem to be very well construct . great product for a low price . +325 Flashlight POS 5 we live in a southeastern U.S. city that lose power a few time a year , due to nor'easter s , severe thunderstorm , tropical storm , you name it . I keep a hurricane kit with a couple lantern flashlight and a few of THESE . -lrb- and oh how I wish Maglite would come out with a lantern-type flashlight that balance on a tabletop very easily -rrb- . just this week , we be without power for two day -- and I go to target and buy two new maglite to supplement the three I already have . the weight and heft of these can not be beat . dh work night , so it be just I and my 6yo dd at night . I keep one of these under the kitchen counter at all time . as I like to say -- it be part flashlight , part weapon . the electricity come back on a few hour ago , and the first thing I do be carefully put the Maglites back in the hurricane kit in the hall closet . of course , I put one back under the kitchen counter . then I come here to Amazon to order some replacement bulb for the hurricane kit . I do not like sit in the dark , so I need to be ready for the next outage . just want to be sure the replacement bulb be in the house when we need they . oh , and as evidence of how much I trust Maglite -- I keep a mini mag in my purse . Friends scoff , until that flashlight guide we through a very dark parking lot in the middle of a nature camp where we be attend a scrapbook convention ! small maglite make awesome stock stuffer . I 'll be send dd off to college with a couple of these one day -- one to keep in she dorm room in case of emergency , and one to keep in she car . +984 Flashlight POS 5 this light have be awesome but after one year the battery suddenly be Dead . the replacement be around 22.00 so I guess in the scheme of expense , it be be overall a good deal . it be brighter that any maglite I have have +109 Flashlight POS 5 this maglite be a heavy duty baton when fully load with the 6 \* d cell battery . the beam be as to be expect for a conventional incandescent bulb . it be not as powerful , nor as long lasting , as the lead model now on the market . it be price perfectly though . the construction have not change much over the year . these be make , and warranty , to last a lifetime . +634 Flashlight POS 5 I finally have to buy another 4d maglite and figure I would put up a review . I be give one of these as a gift 26 year ago and it finally fail -- but it be not the light itself it be the battery . somehow the battery expand in the tube and they would not come out . I do not see any corrosion , though . the light function , but it be a bit dim so I be just put in a fresh set . I do not get the complaint about brightness I read here . Mine be plenty bright enough for everything I ever need it for and in fact I find it amusing to turn one of these on around most other flashlight because it literally would make it look they the other one be not even on . very bright white light . also do not get the need for led over this type of bulb . nothing against LED light but the three thing great about LED light be the battery life be longer -lrb- because of less power consumption -rrb- , they be brighter -lrb- usually -rrb- , and the led be suppose to last essentially forever . well , I never have a problem with battery life , brightness or bulb life . I never even use the spare bulb in 26 year . some highlight : \* Battery life be unbelievable -- a set will easily last 2 or more year -lrb- depend on use of course -rrb- . other flashlight I have have must drain the battery even when off because I have never see such long battery time from other light . in 26 year I never pick this up and find a dead light even after month and month of non-use . I only replace the battery when I be unhappy with the light output . \* the spare bulb be nice , but I never have to use it since the original one last 26 year . \* the adjustable beam be very nice -- flood light mode or focus mode with continuous adjustment by turn the head . \* very durable -- water resistant , mud resistant , sand resistant ; great build quality . I have it in water , mud , and sand over the year with no problem . also drop it a couple of time onto cement and asphalt and no problem -lrb- enough impact to dent the metal -rrb- \* comfortable -- with the 4d size you can rest the handle on you shoulder which make it very easy to hold -lrb- when look under the hood of a car for example -rrb- . the 3d can not do this because it be just too short . \* Distance -- be always impress by the distance this thing illuminate . the box on the new one say 256 meter and I believe it . \* value -- still can get these for under 20 at you local box store or on Amazon . \* defense -- sound funny , but this thing could certainly double as a impromptu weapon . when you hold it with the handle rest on you shoulder you have excellent light , plus it be in the `` swing '' position . not only that but you can be sure that if you have to use it as a weapon that it would not break at all . +573 Flashlight POS 5 this be a nice , sturdy , flashlight in a metal casing . it have a nice bright beam and fit easily into a drawer . it be a definite improvement over the cheap plastic flashlight that I have . Amazon have it at a good price . I recommend . +183 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight . the size , feel and performance all scream `` big buck '' and then you discover that this little beauty cost about as much as two grande latte at Starbucks . I have one in each car and they have come in handy look for street sign , house address and map reading . last Christmas , I give everyone in my department they own Mini mag Lite . I can not tell you how many time they have come and tell I how handy they have prove to be . when you have throw away you last broken plastic , make in a place you can not spell or pronounce junk flashlight , go and get one of these baby . you will smile . really ! +552 Flashlight NEU 3 I buy this for a family member for he birthday , and have have a chance to try it out a few time since . it be a good flashlight , do not get I wrong . but as a general home or bedside flashlight , there be much better choice . in the first place , it be not cheap . you can get a very good 4 D-Cell Maglite for less than 1\/4 of the price . I have one next to my bed , and I love it . regular d-cell last a astonishingly long time . it be highly probably that the money you would save on battery with the rechargeable would not make up for the difference in price in less than about a decade . second , this flashlight be not that bright . it be fine for just locate thing in the dark , but if you have any pretension about use this flashlight as part of you home-security and defense plan , then you really want something brighter . I carry a small surefire e2e in my pocket every day , and it be about twice as bright as this rechargeable mag . if you really do want a rechargeable flashlight for home use , consider spend a bit more on model make by Surefire or Streamlight . they be brighter and have better battery life -- although you 'll pay through the nose for it . if you do not want to spend that much , a 3 or 4 d-cell maglite will still be one of the best flashlight you 'll ever own . +716 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this maglite to carry around in my messenger bag for ... misc illumination I guess . I be also impress with the sturdy feel of Maglites and these be no exception . waterproof and quite rugged . the bulb be bright and run very well with the two AAA battery . extremely easy to replace bulb and the fact that you can carry a spare bulb in the cap mean there be always one handy in case of emergency . +557 Flashlight NEU 3 in the last decade , people have be root for this small flashlight that be always consider to be cool , with it be aircraft aluminum ` armor ' , and bright beam . this thing be once consider to be more popular than a lightsaber . these quality stand to this day and should be consider should you buy this as a gift or lighting tool for someone . it be strong reach beam fire a fair distance in spot mode , and a moderately effective flood mode light up a room quite nicely . now , with these kudos , there be some thing to keep in mind when buy this light : unless you get silver\/puter or light blue , this black knight can be easily lose in the dark if you do not have it on . also , the fact that it be a heavy duty metal do not help it be chance from a fairly tall fall . this thing be not shock absorbent . maybe it be case be , but it be innards be not . and to top it all off , this flashlight be more thirsty for battery than a 5 litre gas guzzle Mustang . after a good half hour , it dim a litte , but a little too soon . so , what do I recommend above the Mini mag ? two great recommendation : the Energizer double Barrel ` xenon ' flashlight , with it be great look , and better battery life . the xenon bulb be also brighter than the mag 's ` t-bulb ' . another great light be the Rayovac AA Industrial flashlight . now , this flashlight do not have the same distance reach as the Mini mag -lrb- in spot mode -rrb- since this light be build with a ` wide spot ' , that act like a super -lrb- and I mean super for a aa light -rrb- minus spot light , and maybe not at long distance , but at least for light up ... the WOODS ! I find this to be the best light for when you be lose in the wood . if you be one of those people who walk a lot at night , especially near any forest and wooded area , then the Rayovac AA Industrial light be the one-if you be not interested in a l.e.d light , which should be you first choice . you would probably think that a Rayovac AA flashlight would not be powerful enough for to light up the thick of the wood in the night and twenty foot in front of you ... well , guess again !! you would better get one and try it out . it be output be nearly as bright as a 2d maglite in flood mode . really ! I carry it everywhere with I -lrb- knapsack -rrb- . and mega shock resistant !! so , hat off to mag for a great run , and for make a cool and powerful light with a few self defeat fault . +385 Flashlight POS 5 Compact , sturdy and reliable . this little guy will never let you down . Great on battery too . +19 Flashlight POS 5 this lite be better than many other flash lite because of the switch ! -lrb- twist switch -rrb- . i get mine about 6 year ogo and use it alot !!! very heavy use ! its be turn on and off hundred of time and still work great ! i do have battery leak in it before they be dead ? do not know why they leak ? it have be drop many time . i do have to clean the switch from dirt and the leak battery . there be 2 way to clean the switch . first way be easy . you just turn off the reflector = candle mode . then you twist the top part that have the bulb in it . with the battery in will clean it most of the time . pressure from the spring push up on the battery make the switch contact . if that do not get it clean then what i do be take the battery out and remove the bulb then carefully pry up the bulb holder on both side at a 180 degree angle . it have 2 plastic post that friction fit . once apart clean the connector and underside lip so it will make contact . i have do this 2 time and reassemble with no problem . even flash lite that cost 10 time or more may not last like this minus mag because of the switch wear out or get dirty and not make contact . but most switch i see you can not clean they they do not come apart . also they be a different kind ot switch . i put in the 3 lead bulb and love it . battery last longer and it be a white lite . i have a $ 50.00 lead lite that be nice but allready after turn it on and off about 75 time i notice it be start to get worn . once and a while i have to push it 2 time to get it to come on . if you want a lite that will last this be the one !!! +887 Flashlight POS 5 great battery , seem to be more powerful than what originally come with flashlight , great purchase . i highly recommend much better than the original battery -lrb- must state that the original be 10 year old -rcb- +694 Flashlight POS 5 it be a AMAZING FLASHLIGHT for the size . it have the lite intensity of a ordinary twin d-cell fashlight and will LAST EVEN LONGER . the ABILITY to adjust the beam be fantastic and it be SMALL SIZE mean I can carry it with me constantly . high quality and value for the buck be it be BEST POINTS . +958 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be extremely strong enough to fight with it can be consider as a weapon . in fact i like it soo much as i buy this item and the black one also . recommend +458 Flashlight POS 5 maglite s2c016 black c cell flashlight , 2-c awesome !! +698 Flashlight POS 5 after have several other led flashlight all I can say be this one take the prize , and be the best I have find . it have all the battery and light life that you would expect from this technology with the build and focus-ability you would expect from mag . most other led flashlight be only good for close range situation , while this one do both close range and long range thanks to mag 's twist focus capability . so get this one , even if it be a couple of buck more . it be also nice that it be make in the USA . +142 Flashlight POS 4 this be the best flashlight I have ever get . its kinda expensive but well worth it . if u just want a throwaway flashlight get something else but if u want a `` keeper '' then buy this I have have drop it countless time and just abuse the heck out of it and it still work . +994 Flashlight POS 5 this item be the right size for the job and come with all the necessary accessory for both home and auto . I have use maglite product in the past and this be a keeper . +847 Flashlight POS 5 I be replace another one , which be identical to the maglite I be now purchase . the reason ? it be so good , my first one be steal ! seriously . we home be break into and my Maglite AA cell Mini Flashlight be steal , along with with many other article . I guess the thief really like it , too . I be so glad to have find a blue one here at a reasonable price ! I have also order replacement bulb for it at the same time . Maglite make teriffic flashlite . they be lightweight and very serviceable . the size of the beam can be adjust from very small , through medium , to much larger by twist the band around the head of the flashlight . I would highly recommend this flashlight -lrb- and all the other maglite product -rrb- . they be well make and will provide many year of relaible service , provide no one steal they ! +57 Flashlight POS 5 I have four set of these , three in car on one in we garage . I be tire of always have to search for my light which may be under the seat , in the glove box or roll around under the third row seat . I solve all that with these bracket . I have each mount horizontally under the steer wheel column just forward of my knee . once install , the light be out of the way but instantly accessible . the fourth pair hold a maglight in a vertical position next to the door in the garage so it be always in a fix location . Smart solution and installation take just minute . +403 Flashlight POS 5 get to the point . it be a great accessory to have . I own one in the past . I recently purchase another one through true value\/promax back on 11\/18\/09 . after I do not receive what I order by the estimate delivery date ,12 \/ 10\/09 I contact Promax and they tell I it be deliver on 12\/2\/09 via FEDEX . I be give the customer service number for FEDEX and when I call they , they tell I the package be deliver on 12\/3\/09 . I think I would save money by order the Maglite online , but instead I be rip off . a representative at Promax state that since my order be only $ 106.00 , they be no signature require and my package be leave at my front door . in that case , I would have do better by place the $ 106.00 on the porch with a sign that say , `` take I , I be FREE '' . the people at Promax be give I the run around in resolve this matter . I just want to inform other consumer on my experience Promax . I have call and leave message , and no one be return my call in regard to this issue . regardless of how much a item cost , there should be some alternative to make sure that we as consumer get what we pay for with we hard earn DOLLARS . thanks Promax , for show so much concern toward you customer , Joseph , who will never do business with you company again . what a rip off ! again , this item be a great accessory to have . I guess I will flag down a snap on Tool Truck to pay another $ 150.00 to get this great accessory in which I need it to perform my job . +782 Flashlight NEU 3 I get these for my Porter Cable pc18fl , a pivot head 18v flashlight . the original bulb be krypton . these be xenon so they burn considerably brighter and hotter than krypton . the problem be , they melt the plastic bulb holder in the flashlight . the bulb holder only cost 91 cent but good luck try to find someone who will ship for less than $ 10 . +298 Flashlight NEU 3 this be a cleverly design and well build product which will make a valuable addition to you tool box , provide you already have a couple DeWalt or B&D; 12v battery -lrb- they be interchangeable -rrb- . it would not make sense to buy a separate battery for it , as they cost about 2x as much as the light itself . these light be also make for other voltage , include 9.6 and 14.4 v. I compare this light to a 2-d cell magnalite which weigh about the same -lrb- 1.5 lb w\/battery . -rrb- as one would expect give the difference in voltage -lrb- 12v vs. 3v -rrb- , the DeWalt appear to be several time as bright as the Magnalite and have a beam 3-4x as wide . I only give the light three star because -lrb- 1 -rrb- it be overprice , even w \/ Amazon 's discount -lrb- 2 -rrb- replacement bulb be also expensive , although they do include a spare , and -lrb- 3 -rrb- you can not focus the beam - a wider `` flood '' beam would be preferable to the more intense spot for many application . if all you want be a general-purpose lantern , there be several 6v dry cell unit available which represent better value . however , this one will utilize you exist battery & charger , and with its solid base and tilt capability can be configure to illuminate the typical work site better than most of its competitor . +187 Flashlight POS 5 it ship fast , it be exactly what i expect do not relize it come with battery nice supprise , package well , the light be a true maglite flash light . its strong and will do what i need it to where i need it to +111 Flashlight POS 5 great flashlight , lead technology be the way to go nowadays as far as lifespan , vibration resistance , etc. . . MagLite have be my choice for many year as I grow up use these in my household . this have SOS strobe , low power function , etc. . . I do not really use that but it be cool if you do . +687 Flashlight NEG 1 this light work as advertise for a few day . a spare bulb , keep in the base , be improperly store , force too much pressure on the bottom of the battery , which eventually flatten the spring contact at the top of the battery . the result : once the bulb be properly stow , there be little or no contact between the battery & the spring contact at they top end . this be essentially the end of the light . this happen just after the expiration of the return period . I would not recommend this product . +103 Flashlight POS 5 maglite be always a good value . this purchase be a replacement for a similar one that be 12 year old . this package deal be nice in that you can charge in a vehicle or at home . my husband like these light , and use they both at home and work . there be no ambient light where we live , so a dark night be really dark . this flashlight be really nice when you have to put chain on you vehicle in the dark . it have a nice , bright , white light . they be waterproof -lrb- yes , they do sink -rrb- and have a heavy duty metal casing . these flashlight be the best value on the market . +737 Flashlight POS 5 experience coping with blackout lead I to experiment with lot of battery light -- fluorescent , lead , and conventional incandescent bulb . this 6 d-cell light provide the largest area and brightest illumination . here 's how I use it : I set it vertically so its beam bounce off white ceiling . I also use some handy household object as a base holder to keep it from tip . in the kitchen it provide enough light -lrb- while aim at the white ceiling -rrb- to prepare a simple meal use the gas stove -- and for wash dish afterward . later , in a 20 ' x 30 ' live room , it provide enough light bounce off the ceiling so that everyone could sit , talk , eat dinner , and see everyone else in the room . that be comforting & reassuring ! finally , in the bathroom & bedroom , this very bright light , aim at the white ceiling , provide enough illumination for showering and brushing tooth as well as allow two person to move around a bedroom without bump , stumble , or stub toe . +501 Flashlight POS 5 this Dewalt flashlight be very lightweight and simple & easy to use . Works with any Dewalt cordless battery , which supply a weighted base to stand on any flat surface . the actual light pivot a full 360 degree . +188 Flashlight POS 5 good , strong light , especially when concentrated via the adjustable lens . much more powerful than traditional flashlight i have around the house , and a good price . adjust the focal length , though , seem to inadvertently unscrew the piece below unless you specifically hold they tightly in place , so now i set it at the most focused setting and leave it there . +261 Flashlight POS 5 if the NCAA sanction a intercollegiate sport call Cranky Light Sleeper , my wife would be the division I national champion . meanwhile , I be the guy who need to chill and read for a while before drift off to sleep , maybe even have a chat ... and they say we guy be not relational . much to my surprise , the athletic prodigy who sleep beside I offer just a few day ago that I might want to ` read with a flashlight ' and that this would not meaningfully interrupt she nocturnal ambition . would not you know , I be prepared . the Mini mag Lite be ideal for clandestine bedtime reading \* and \* auto glove compartment . those be the two application where I have a Mini mag standing by . the thing put out great light and allow you to focus the beam by turn the uppermost portion of the flashlight . it have the survivability of a cockroach in a nuclear winter . it be compact and have a nifty little soft carry case , though I have never see the virtue of that . a great buy . +611 Flashlight POS 5 I carry a aa mini-mag I have a 3-d cell in EACH car and a 2 6-d cell in the HOUSE one upstairs and one by the front door for self defence . +82 Flashlight NEU 3 this be a rare time when the traditional version be better than the lead version . this mag 2xaa lead flashlight have a flash mode feature that start after the light have be on for a while . the light make a ok child 's toy , but it can not be use as a tool . the mag 3xaa lead and d-cell lead flashlight without this `` special feature '' work great . the 2xaa led be a hopeless mess , even after stretch the spring and do the fix other buyer suggest . even the non-led traditional mag Krypton can be use as a dependable tool . ultimately , I suggest buy the 3xaa lead or a different brand . 1-star rating as a tool . 5-star rating as a child 's toy average rating = 3-star +184 Flashlight POS 5 i use every day and feel this be the only lite i need to do my job +48 Flashlight POS 5 this product be one of those rare instance when perfection be nearly achieve . its primary purpose as a light source , and a adjustable one at that , be well know and without equal . the quality be impeccable , and that law enforcement officer utilize they , be a testament to they reliability . however to minimize this marvel of engineering to a source of portable light , be to commit a injustice . like many item that have become the very definition of they product niche , they original task , become one use amongst many . joggers\/runners\/walkers : we have all see the aforementioned progress down the street carry a stick to ward off any overly enthusiastic , allegedly domesticate , pet . now other than throw say stick in the hope the quadruped in question will chase it , I do not think it will deter a Doberman , Ratweiler , or pit bull . with the likelihood of have one swipe at self-defense , on the off chance you connect , unlike a stick , this will get they attention . if two be carry , you can save the cost of those bag of buckshot that serve as weight when velcroe around the wrist . one reviewer , -lrb- a friend -rrb- , mention how `` cute '' the tiniest of these be . no argument here . however , in the event of a assailant , anything larger than a Gerbil , and you be out of luck . but unlike those pouch people have be wear around they waist , which if I may digress , be the ugliest blast appendage , get you self a snazzy o-ring . you will be on the cut edge of fashion well before the Chanel version appear in `` Cosmo '' . and as far as utility , the next time a officer of the law approach you car , notice what he or she carry , and how he or she carry it . oh yeah , that be why they have they out during broad daylight ! for the Gardeners out there , no more run back for the hammer when a tomato stake need attention . for the Winter Sportsman or woman , this will come in handy when head out to you ice fishing shack and you find a layer of ice over you fishing hole . one swing and you do , just keep a firm grip , as they do not exactly give these away . Doorstop , ice-pick replacement , and signal safety light , the use be limit only by you ingenuity . if these be any more effective , there would be a 3-day wait period to buy one . +583 Flashlight POS 5 this holder be great to have on you belt ! you never know when you might have to have you maglite with ya !!! +104 Flashlight NEU 3 if you have already get the battery from the Dewalt 12-volt drill , it make sense to get the flashlight . I get this for a good price and it function as you would expect a flashlight to . nothing too fancy -- decent level of brightness . I be not real fond of the function of the pivot head -- you have to turn the head clockwise to hit specific pivot point , at which you would need to adjust the direction the flashlight be point in -lrb- as oppose to just ratch up and down on the same plane as I have experience on other brand like the Porter Cable -rrb- . it be not a problem but it be not the best design out there . again , if you want to make the most use of you battery , there be not a whole lot of option . +909 Flashlight POS 5 love these flashlight , I have a rechargeable -- I lose it , leave it on the hood of a car . ok dumb you be right . I have all of the component just need the flashlight . can I buy the flashlight only ? will it cost the same as the whole kit ? please if anyone can tell I if this be available . thank you !

I be very skeptical due to the bad review . but I be sick of my flashlight not be available at the garage door where I originally place the clip . so I plunk down my money , re-install the bracket and now very carefully -lrb- know how they will break again -rrb- put my maglite in place and remove just as carefully . Buyer beware but still a useful tool . +618 Flashlight NEG 2 I have own at least 5 maglite and especially like the minus mag but with all of the maglite I have have the same problem : suddenly they do not work . when I take the battery out and put new one in , they still do not work . if I change the bulb they still do not work . it seem that they be very touchy about the way they be put back together . they have to have the spring situate just right among other thing . I can not believe that other people do not have the same problem I do . my boyfriend just spend 30 minute cursing , try to replace battery and\/or bulb without any luck . we now have 3 Maglites sit around as piece of art rather than useful illuminating item . help ! what be we do wrong ? +912 Flashlight POS 4 this have be we `` worst case '' flashlight for many year . it usually get use when commercial power have fail , or a tree have fall , or a car have decide it be not move from the driveway or street ... or when something go bump in the night and maybe you want something in you hand that be a little more substantial than just you hand . iconic aluminum body that stand the test of time . with all that say , the light for this flashlight be almost quaint . in fact , it be quaint , and anytime I see a a incandescent bulb with a filament in a flashlight , I have to worry about something I do not have to worry about led : the bulb burn out . clearly there be better lighting-only choice available with current led technology . but sometimes in the dark , you might need more than a beam of light to help ease you mind . Select as much for its mass and length as for its candlepower : - -rrb- +923 Flashlight POS 4 for freak $ 16 you can not beat this 4d maglight ! I want a 3d maglight , but at the time it be twice the price as the 4d , it be kinda weird that it be that much more expensive , but I be very happy I get the 4d light ! now even though I love all Maglights and everyone else do too . . I gotta give it 4 Stars because of the actual light they put out . . everyone that have a maglite . or look for a maglight , you have to buy a drop in lead to go into you maglite . you will open you light and feel how big this light be , it be a big size without be Ridiculously Big . this be not something that you would openly carry at all time or on you person often , but this be something that you could store in you car or House and you would have a great weapon \/ light . . this be a big size but not crazy , it be big enough so that you would be able to actually hurt someone with this light . it be a great size to use as a Baton , and with it be 4D Batteries Installed , it be be no question that you could bust someone pretty hard , maybe break bone or crack skull in the process . -lrb- which be all very dangerous , and very illegal unless it be self defense , protect yourself , family , or property . . -rrb- but , if you be use this as a good big flashlight , you have to spend $ 10 - $ 15 on a drop in LED Upgrade for the light . . you will be very happy at the benefit of the $ 10 - $ 15 led over the stock bulb . . I go ahead and buy a Terralux Drop in LED and I be very piss when I find out that it would not fit into my light ... I do not know if it will fit most 3-4d maglight , and it just would not fit a certain year or model , but it would not fit into my 4d Maglight UNTIL , I take a Knife and start shave down sliver of the metal off of the inner circle Lamp Retaining Cap piece that Screws on Top of the unit -lrb- it screw the bulb unit into the flashlight to hold it in place -rrb- -lrb- it be a good thing that it be a Easy fix , it be just that the little retain piece do not fit over a tiny part of the Original Bulb Unit -rrb- the New LED Unit be a wider piece overall , so when you try and screw it onto the light , the Hole on Top be not wide Enough to screw over the New LED Bulb Unit , but by shave the Inner Circle out for a little bit , you can make the hole on the Retaining Cap Piece just big Enough to fit over the New Unit , and it will fit over and screw it down into the Llight , and it will still be able to fit over the Original Bulb Unit if you ever have to switch back ... !! so it be kind of a Quick fix to the Drop in LED , but you will be very happy when you screw you light together and turn on you flashlight , you will see a huge difference with the New LED compare to the original bulb . . so finally : this 4d maglight be a awesome light , the Weight and size be both pro and con . . it be big and heavy Enough that you will not carry this flashlight with you everywhere , and you will not probably use this light as you primary light either ... but . . you will Love this light and the amount of light that you get when you upgrade to a New LED , even as a Weapon for self defense , or home defense , it can be you main flashlight in you home or car but it be just too big to randomly carry it around . . get upgrade led for you Maglites and you will Love you Maglites even better !! 4 star , but 5 star with the Extra Drop in LED ... +67 Flashlight POS 5 this be my third LED Maglite . my family and friend keep sneak off with they because they be so useful and bright . I keep my LED Maglite in my messenger bag at all time . I like to be prepare , and this flashlight be very compact . the flashlight casing be 100 % aluminum . it definitely feel solid , and can survive a nasty drop or two ... or six ... or twenty . the lens be slightly recess and be plastic , but it have not crack on I yet . the lead itself be not replaceable like other non-led maglite bulb - but LEDs last thousand of hour longer than traditional bulb . I would not worry about need to replace it . if there be a problem , Maglite provide a limited lifetime warranty . the beam be surprisingly powerful . I have be able to see thing more than 150 foot away with ease with this little flashlight . I have not have a need\/opportunity to test it at longer distance , but it can allegedly cast light up to about 300 foot . there be also four mode - high-power beam , low-power beam , strobe , and SOS . I have not really need the last two mode , but I find myself switch between high and low-power on a regular basis , depend on what I be do . Bottom Line : - extremely durable . - extremely bright , especially consider it be small size . - four different mode . - limited Lifetime Warranty . +860 Flashlight POS 5 you will be happy to know that the Mag-Lite Rechargeable flashlight system now come with a spare lamp in the tailcap , at no extra charge to the consumer ! there have also be a few improvement make to the Halogen lamp which have increase the brightness by 33 % and have increase the on-time by 33 % ! a great mag-lite make even better ! +219 Flashlight POS 5 use this mount system for my 3d cell maglite and work perfect . alignment be key to have a proper mount . the clip be tight and hold the maglite without slide or movement . +257 Flashlight POS 5 a quality build flashlight make here in the USA . at a great price , from Amazon with free shipping . will not be lose or misplace this one with the size that make it easy to find when store under the car seat . with the 6 d-cell the light be very bright , and should provide good light after be store for a length of time . I highly recommend this mag-lite . MAGLITE S6D016 Heavy-Duty 6-D cell flashlight +885 Flashlight POS 5 I buy several of these as gift for the guy at work . they be a great small size flashlight . +87 Flashlight POS 4 First off , greatest flashlight , not only be it bright but it could hypothetically be use to beat -lrb- up -rrb- a burgler , who would be blind by its light ... the mount cradle have a nice easy-in - but firm-holding mechanism , so you just slap it in , but have to use a good level of leverage when you remove it . it do not come with a extra bulb in the base of light , like many mag do . and , the bulb be not the normal maglight battery , it be a differnt connector and voltage -lrb- 6v -rrb- . I drop mine , which kill my bulb , so I then buy two bulb for it and put one in the spare compartment under the battery spring in the base , where a spare should belong upon purchase . my recommendation be that you buy the extra bulb before you need it , and put it in the base . it really be great to have this flashlight mount in my storage room always there for I . I would eventually like to get a 2nd to mount in my car for safety etc , and find a good place to mount it -lrb- it come with 12volt car plug adapter too -rrb- . +916 Flashlight NEG 2 Poor quality plastic bracket . not up to mag light standard . +888 Flashlight POS 5 to start , I be a tradesman who have to carry he lifeline on he belt . not only on the job , but I be also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex . every time I even move to take my workbelt off , it seem to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall say something be on fire or will not open all the way . and the Mini mag be the universal flashlight . it be sell everywhere , include this fine site and even family store , and despite its legendary quality and design , be at the most ten dollar with include holster . I prefer the classic aa design , where CA not you find aa ? I have use one of these on my belt for about four year . it be a excellent tool , and I have never have one wear out on I . the bulb , however , be the Achilles heel . the rest of the flashlight be military , police and trade quality , for civilian price . but these dang bulb go orange after a couple week and last a couple month of casual use . I be consider shell out forty buck for a small led , just to save the money on bulb . then , walk through a sport outlet , I pass the flashlight section . and next to the usual Mini mag with holster , which I own close to six of , be a Nite ize accessory design for this same flashlight . a lead bulb . now , I have see these online for about twenty to thirty buck , and this be a ten dollar flashlight ! but this one just sit around on a shelf be eight buck , about a buck less than the flashlight 's shelf price . what the heck , I get one . to quote another review , my trusty old mag be now a state-of-the-art torch , with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb . and led , as all mag-hater know , do not burn out or even go out when bump . so , for a total of twenty buck , you get a american-quality led beam that compete and plain out whip fifty-dollar import with plastic casing . I would not recomend this flashlight if there be not there be a way to fix its biggest flaw . just get you hand on this led adapter , and put it in like you would the standard bulb . replace the mirror reflector , and stomp the old bulb into powder . you will not be need they , ever again . there be also a combo pack availiable , for the same price , that include a push-button adapter if you have ever wish you could tap a red button on the end instead of twist it on and off . I have not try it , but it come with the LED , and for eight buck ? and hey , the flashlight itself come in six different color . these thing be easily replace if one get bang up or you room-mate\/girlfriend draw all over it with sharpie while she be on the phone . I have have these work perfectly even they have be through Hades and back , but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight . just take the lead out and put it in the new one , those bulb last forever . and now , so will this flashlight . +622 Flashlight POS 4 few flashlight will grab more attention than a 6d cell maglite . it be 20 '' long and weigh well over 3 lb with battery . as allude in other review , this really gun for the guy instinct . it be exaggerated and give the same feeling as see the volume go to 11 -lrb- a la spinal tap -rrb- . ever since I first see one on display 20 year ago , I have want it -lrb- but have to settle for a Mini-Mag -rrb- . of course , as a Maglite , it live up to they reputation of be virtually indestructable and a good substitute for a baseball bat . however , in light of recent innovation in led technology , it do not have as much practical value . as one would expect with a 6d -lrb- 9 volt -rrb- light , it be one that can signal satellite . when I first see it , it be brighter than anything else , at least operating from standard battery . 20 year later , it still use the same technology , albeit with the availability of the Xenon `` mag-num '' bulb , which add 23 % brightness -lrb- per Maglite 's web site -rrb- . other technology have emerge that make this beast show its age , especially the so-called `` tactical '' light , some of which be smaller than a mini-mag , but brighter than the 6d . do not get I wrong . it be tough as nail and extraordinarily bright . but , the 3d cell maglite with the led upgrade put out a comparable amount of light , while consume only half the battery and be 40 % smaller . as of this writing -lrb- 7\/2007 -rrb- , there be no led upgrade bulb available from Maglite , save the 4d cell version , use with 2 dummy d-cell -lrb- why ? -rrb- third-party vendor have some good one , but they be either dimmer or do not focus . one even cost $ 75 + -lrb- for a $ 25 chassis -rrb- . one company boast its upgrade bulb will yield 140 lumen ; for comparison , the mag claim the 6d cell with the Xenon bulb yield 218 lumen . if Maglite be to put a lead upgrade for this light out on par with the 3d cell led upgrade , it would make this light incredibly bright and I would also give this the full five Stars . Bottom Line : if you must have a gi-normous flashlight that be well-engineered and virtually indestrctable , this be the one for you . I have one and love it , but truthfully , it be more of a novelty that satisfy some primal yearning inside of I . for emergency and everyday use , I have strategically located maglite 3d and min-mag , all lead , around the house . UPDATE : I get this 7\/17\/2007 from mag 's customer service about the 5-6 cell led upgrade : `` we do not plan on make a lead for the 5 or 6 cell light because the volume be too small to justify the tooling cost . led be voltage sensitive and if use in the wrong size light will either reduce the overall life of the lamp or blow it out . you can also purchase a battery spacer \/ dummy battery and use we 4 cell led module , model # sh34dcw6j . '' +944 Flashlight POS 5 it have the expect Maglite quality . I give this product five star . my wife be very happy with it and with the service provide by the vendor , whatever its name be . +956 Flashlight POS 5 this light be pretty siick ... i buy it bcuz i be go to camp in like 2 week ... and i hear that mag-light be a good brand so i decide to get this ... it look nice and the light be a nice white beam +270 Flashlight POS 5 these mag light be great as they pierce even the darkest corner , thanks ! +838 Flashlight NEG 1 I have my 3aa lead Mini Maglight disappear around 2 week ago - it be a fine flashlight , for sure ! I be quite mad at the kid that borrow it . I still need a flashlight for work that be tough and reliable and of course my first choice be Maglight . at first when I see the 2aa maglight it be like I find the perfect flashlight - just buy it think it would last a lifetime or until I dump it into the ocean or river - happen more then once . get the first flash light home and happily open the package and install the battery ... totally dead , not even a flash . battery check good but , replace they anyway . no go , so I return the flashlight . this be not a typical maglight issue - a trust manufacturer in my opinion - so I go to Lowes and buy a second one - it be actually cheaper then the first . I turn it on and it work perfectly for about 2 minute . it then start to do random thing like SOS and flash . replace the new battery with new - same thing . I go back to the store and return it intend to get a 3aa lead version of the maglight but , they be no longer available . so I try a 3rd 2aa lead flashlight - almost the same result as the second . I Google 'd my problem and find that Maglight have come up with a series of home repair and try they . no luck !!! flashlight be return with tear - for a fall hero . I end up with the old standard Xenon Mini Maglight and be look at a streamlight to replace the LED Maglight . yes , they be more expensive . : -lrb- +126 Flashlight NEU 3 I buy three of these . one be a gift , the other two be for I . I drop the first one and the head totally break at the joint . I think it be poorly make . I like use it , so I buy another .

I understand why so many people in Alaska or rural area and hunter use they . you can see for close to a mile with the 6 cell and I do not think I could carry anything larger . I feel very safe with it when I be out at night and at my farm . very much worth the money and I will probably be get a couple more . +340 Flashlight POS 5 sturdy , bright and well build . Maglight have a eye for quality . the 3c cell be a nice size . +206 Flashlight POS 4 this be a 3 watt 2 cell flashlight . I agree with the other review here . more light output than the normal 2 cell aa maglight could have be do better like a end cap that have either a on\/off switch or lanyard attachment so it could be hang in a room for area lighting . still work better than buy the conversion kit that Home Depot sell -lrb- it be junk -rrb- . I have purchase another lead flashlight a year ago by River Rock from target for less money and more light with equal quality . see the photo . the maglight be a good light and appear to be make in the USA . +437 Flashlight POS 5 I give this as a gift to a friend . he be happy and so be i. +303 Flashlight POS 5 the Dewalt bulb be the best out there . they be brighter than other flashlight bulb yet be very tough and can withstand be drop while on .

I highly recommend these mount clip for convenience & just wish they be make a little bit more heavy duty . +651 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light mostly for work use , but I use it at home too . it have typical Maglite quality and a very useful holster . some of the reviewer do not like the fact that the holster have no velcro cover . I like this . the light slide in snugly and have easy access when I need it . the biggest plus be the fantastic beam .

Gotta love amazon ! +388 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this about 4 or 5 year ago and it be never let I down . it so rugged it can be use as a weapon if you need to defend yourself . it lay right next to I when I sleep . it really be heavy duty . +589 Flashlight NEU 3 I personally do not have one of these -lrb- although I have use other people 's -rrb- but have a lead 3d maglite . it make no sense to pay $ 20 for a antique incandescent 3d maglite when you can get a lead version right here on amazon for only $ 25 ! the led be brighter , around 10 time as energy efficient and have no filament to break from impact or turn it on and off a lot . the only reason to buy this old light be if you want to use it as a heater ! mag-lite st3d016 3-d cell lead flashlight , black +397 Flashlight POS 5 this be the greatest flashlight I have ever use . this have to be the brightest flashlight ever make . +543 Flashlight POS 5 it charge , it work , and it hold its charge . it be from Mag-Lite -lrb- Mag Instrument -rrb- . do it get any better ? +779 Flashlight POS 5 I have a Mini Maglite flashlight attach to my Leatherman Tool for may year . the back be lose on my old one a few week ago . I be glad that they be still available in that size . Amizon.com be the best . +241 Flashlight POS 4 before decide to post this review , I decide to look over the review that be already post . I notice that many reviewer complain about low-intensity light and the relatively short battery life . well , I can see where they be come from . if you want a flashlight to use day in and day out , on every night you go camping , or to frequently navigate through a dark house , then this be definitely \* not \* the flashlight for you . why do I like it so much ? let I tell you about where and how I use it , and you 'll understand . I have be camp since I be a kid . back when I start , those giant flashlight that run on those blocky 12-volt battery be common . I have a few of those . I also have plenty of those plastic flashlight that run on d-battery -lrb- now those be true battery hog -rrb- . in time , I learn about MagLites , and begin use various model . for a number of year , I think I have settle on the 2 aa Mini model . it certainly be a great flashlight , but I find I need a flashlight less and less . as that happen , I start look for a small light I could carry `` just in case '' -- and the MagLite Solitaire fit the bill . I have be carry one for year now . you see , when I first start camping , or even if the light go out at home , I feel I need a bright , powerful flashlight . over the year I have learn , however , that such bright light serve mainly to reset you night vision . only on the most overcast and moonless night do I ever find myself really need a flashlight -- or when someone drop they car key in the back yard at the end of a long night around the fire . even when in my tent , I find that have a smaller light work out really well . it I need it on , it be bright enough to let I see , but not so bright as to disturb my tentmate . in addition , its light weight and small size make it a ideal backcountry companion . it take up alomst no room in my pocket , and hang comfortably from a piece of paracord around my neck . like its larger cousin , the Solitaire let you adjust the beam , from a tight focus to a broader diffusion . as some have note , however , the low light output -lrb- 2 lumen -rrb- be such that many may not preceive much benefit . I do find the adjustment useful , however , use the broadest diffusion when use the light for general illumination in a small space or dark area , and focus the beam when I be really try to look at something in particular . also like its larger cousin , the Solitaire will operate with the lens end remove in what be call `` candle mode '' . use that way , you could place the solitaire on a flat surface and use it like you would a candle . here 's where it really do fail compare to its larger cousin , however . on those model , the lens end be larger than the diameter of the shaft\/handle , allow the lens end to be slipped onto the bottom like a base , give the candle-mode flashlight a wider base when stand it up . since the Solitairs be the same diameter along its entire length , that be not a option . when I use it in candle mode , it be typically to quickly illuminate most of the tent , and I just keep the lens end in my off hand . the solitair be small enough that I can tuck it in between my hat and my temple , too , free both of my hand when necessary -lrb- like when try to fix my glass -rrb- . - I keep one in my tackle box , as a convenient light when need to search for some bit of tackle at dusk or after nightfall . - when camping , with the help of a little clip or piece of string , you can hang the light from a gear loft or a clip in you tent , give you a quick and easy way to light a central area -lrb- to play card , for example -rrb- . - I keep one on my key ring when I travel , just in case I need a little light to check something under the hood . - when hike , I always carry one with I `` just in case '' , even if I start out during the day time . while some decry how dim the light be , you would be amaze by how easy it be to spot even the smallest light during the dark of night . besides , but this little light up against a clear -lrb- or light color -rrb- plastic water bottle will illuminate all the water in the bottle , allow you to create a more visible object if you need to get someone 's attention . - I never use the light for more than a few minute at a time , so I have never have a complaint about the battery life . in fact , I be very happy with the battery life , and the fact that I can keep the same battery in the light for month on end without it drain down to nothing . while it be always best to take the battery out when not use it for a long time , I have have they sit in the Solitaire for a full year and still kick out light when I need it . - they make great gift . my wife and three of my kid each have one , and they all find they useful . a MagLite Solitarie be a great tool to put on a new driver 's key ring . -lrb- even better be to pair it with a Victorinox Classic Swiss Army Knife ! -rrb- - keep one in the glove box -- the small size make it really easy to handle if you need to poke around under the dashboard to replace a fuse . - put one in a mini survival kit . it be small enough to fit into many mint tin alongside other survival gear -lrb- e.g. , hook , line , match , razor -rrb- . as note before , a small light in the dark can often be see from far away . besides , in a survival situation , that light can be use to attract fish by dangle it in the water ... +566 Flashlight POS 4 as always , very happy with any mag flashlight . much brighter than my old bulb base 2 aa minus maglite . I have read that some other brand be brighter , but it be plenty bright enough for I and I like the aluminum case that mag offer . +784 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light for use here in Iraq , it fit perfectly in the Molle vest loop and have a nice bright light that have be use to blind unexpecting people in the night , when they do not comply . it be that bright . you can get brighter but not better . +279 Flashlight POS 5 my old 2-aa cell maglite finally stop work after 20 year due to battery that leak inside . after check flashlight forum and numerous review , I decide to stick with maglite and buy a new 2-aa cell model with a led light . it work as advertise , and all of my maglite accessory work perfectly with it . I be a happy customer and would replace it if lose or steal , and I 'll be more careful in the future with battery so I do not have any further problem . +278 Flashlight POS 5 this be a very fine flashlight . it put out a surprising amount of light for its size . the beam be adjustable from wide and diffuse to narrow and focus . you can also remove the lens and it become omnidirectional , perfect when you be in a tent . the holster keep it within reach at all time , instead of feel around on the ground in the dark for it . I use it a lot more than my larger maglight for just this reason . the battery last a lot longer than in other brand of small flashlight , and you get considerably more light as well . a must own for any outdoors fan , and a bargain as well . +180 Flashlight POS 5 the Maglite collection be the best you can buy for you money ! this minimag w \/ lead be a `` steal '' ! I be more than satisfied w \/ my purchase and will buy another one soon ! +349 Flashlight POS 4 the flashlight be brilliant , literally . once it be charge for the first time it be unreal . and for occasional or rare usage it be extremely practical . but , if you use it for several hour a day , you may find that it take too long to get a full charge back into the battery . in fact , the only chance you can get it to fully charge be over the weekend . two battery ? how can you charge the spare battery pack when it have to be in the flashlight -lrb- which have to be in the charger -rrb- to recharge ? mag Instruments be apparently work on the problem , but to this date they do not have a rapid charger , or a charge cradle for a battery pack only . you could of course buy 2 flashlight and use they on alternate day . rather expensive though . +586 Flashlight POS 5 have be use Maglite flashlight for year , they be tough , resilient and a very good value . now if I would just stop lose they ! +294 Flashlight POS 5 I just get this aa Mini Maglite package with a 3d lead mag at Home Depot . I be look for the 3d when I find this 2 pac . man be I glad I do . this aa minus mag be FANTASTIC for a small light . I compare it side by side with a TERRALUX Lightstar 220 , rate at , you guess it , 220 lumen . unbelievable ! I aim each light at the top of a 30 ft. tree , about 100 ft. away . both light illuminate the tree top , but the Mini mag really define the branch clearly . the Terralux just kind of light up the area at the top of the tree . this Mini mag have a Cree XPE # 106 bulb in it and be far superior to the upgrade lead bulb available at Amazon for under $ 9.00 . if you have a old Mini mag , that be a good upgrade to extend battery life . do Yourself a Favor and buy the latest version aa Mini Mag as well . you will not be sorry ! the only thing that I do not care for be the extra mode . besides the 2 brightness level , there be 2 Blinky mode . one just blink on and off , the other emit a Mores Code SOS . I would rather just have 2 light level mode that I could switch back and forth . I also would like a tail switch so I do not have to fool with the focus every time I turn it on . maybe I 'll look for the tail switch replacement that someone else mention . I still rate it 5 star because it be a fantastic light . the only reason that I do not buy this light on Amazon be because I be not really look for a new Mini mag . I could not find the the 3d with the 131 luman rating that I be look for on Amazon . like I say , the add bonus of this aa Mini be a unexpected surprise ! bluwolf +985 Flashlight POS 5 I recieve the mag charger as a birthday present , worth every penny , very bright , very tough , recharge be so easy thanks to the charge cradle supply ... Mine pay for itself the first time the power go out . the battery pack with a full 16 hour charge last around 2 hour -lrb- constant on -rrb- ... the only `` complaint '' be the adjustment of the bulb -lrb- you have to center it yourself but be really not a big issue . +290 Flashlight POS 4 a little bit bigger than i expect , that be the reason why i be give it 4 star +253 Flashlight POS 5 we have be buy these Maglite Mini flashlight for quite a while . I have yet to try they lead version , but for now these work perfectly for I . I know that the LED one be supposedly much better , but at this price point , I have a very hard time pass these up . we probably must have about 3 or 4 of these around we home , and I personally keep 1 in every toolbag or toolbox . with the cheap price of these you can have one in every room and anywhere else you can think of . you also have a wide variety of color to choose from , but I stick to the modest , classic black annodized . I know that this be just a review for a simple flashlight , but I believe maglite to be the best , and I hope this review help . +292 Flashlight POS 5 this light put out about 200 lumen , it be much brighter than any of the surefire 2 cell light such as the e2e , etc -lrb- which start out at 60 lumen and then drop off as you use they -rrb- . it also do not eat expensive lithium battery -lrb- at anywhere from 1.50 to 4 buck per battery -rrb- . Surefire make 3 and 4 cell and even 6 cell -lrb- lithium -rrb- which be brighter , but again you be feed they expensive lithium cell . of course , this be a old technology light that be as big as a club and heavy , BUT IT 's BRIGHT and run for 2 hour on a charge -lrb- by then you would have spend 10-20 buck on battery feed a surefire -rrb- . the new Magchargers have a spare bulb in the tail , and be much brighter than any of the alkaline d cell maglite -lrb- those be all very dim , or get dim after half a hour -rrb- . it be a great general purpose light , you just can not put it in you pocket . +703 Flashlight POS 4 buy these a while back and get the two-pack for about 8 buck . I have both a DeWalt 18v and a Ryobi 18v flashlight . both take the same bulb , and these DeWalt xenon bulb be bright and hold up pretty well to shock and vibration -lrb- I have drop both light more than once and the bulb -- as well as both of the flashlight -- can take a reasonably good beating -rrb- . but recently I have find the same bulb -lrb- look like same manufacturer , too -rrb- brand under the Craftsman name at both Sears and OSH -lrb- for those of you in California -rrb- sell for $ 1.49 each . lot easier to find one there when you need it in a hurry . +54 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great thing to have at night ! I make trip to many warehouse transport store item to building locate in area of the city inhabit by undesirable people that you have to be wary about . this help I light up area where I be head to , and in my hand , it look like a club for beat people with . that because it be very handy for beat people up with . I havent have to beat anyone with it yet , but the scoundrel stay away from I as if they take offense to the way I hold my flashlight . it look like a club in my hand . +237 Flashlight POS 5 Gotta say hand down this be probably the most love flashlight i have ever have . it shine super bright but illumination isnt the real reason anyone would or should buy this . its a excellent security tool . in all state this should be legal as it be classify as a illumination device untill use otherwise . and its excellent when use as other purpose the only con i have be that the endcap be not metal , i dunno why when the rest of the flashlight be superstrong aluminum and the endcap be some sort of plastic im guess . its not so much a bad thing as just a annoyance . i havent have it break nor expect it to but i would of really like that part to be metal as well . edit : contact the company , they assure I it be indeed metal endcap . sorry for the confusion +175 Flashlight POS 5 I have be use these same light for 12 year now . the aa one be waterproof to about 30 foot or so -lrb- the o-ring keep the seal airtight -rrb- . I do not know if maglite support that use though : -rrb- I use they not only as light , but to prop door open , hammer small nail . these thing be tough ! keep one in the car . one in the kitchen . one in the bedroom . one in the toolbox . one at work . helpful hint : lightly grease the o ring with vaseline or other petroleum jelly occasionally -lrb- wipe off excess -rrb- . this keep the seal watertight , and make the light work like new . take off head of flashlight , and examine the bulb -lrb- not light ! -rrb- - after a while they get burn on the inside - replace occasionally to maintain maximum illumination ! replacement bulb be cheap ! get some ! I use these a lot ! consider use nimh rechargeable battery . +928 Flashlight POS 4 there must be some kind of mistake , either mine or Amazon 's -lrb- guess which one I suspect it be ?? -rrb- . anyway , despite the title , the follow review refer to the 2aa light , not the 3aa . I have never even see , much less touch , the 3aa version of the Maglite 3 watt lead flashlight . this be what a lead flashlight should be : tough , durable , convenient , versatile , small , lightweight , with super-bright light . if you want one of those powerful led flashlight with a blinding light , this be it , and at a reasonable -lrb- for a lead flashlight -rrb- price . I really like this one and it be be use alongside all those big , 4-d battery lantern sit around . but be careful : you can get a powerful , blinding light Xenon 4-d cell lantern for half the price of this beauty . be you sure that the small size be worth the extra $ $ $ ? nevertheless , this flashlight have several problem . the size of a cigar , it be a little big to be something you can stick into you pants pocket on a daily basis -lrb- but it do come with a dandy nylon sheath with a belt loop -rrb- . it do give powerful light , but this suck out the battery juice real fast ; the package say nothing and I have not do a total battery drain test , but it be unlikely that you will get much more than 2 hour of light . it have a feature where you can adjust the light beam from focus to diffuse light , but it be pretty lame -lrb- the light be a hot spot in the middle with a rather large halo typical of 4-d big lens lantern ; the adjustment just extinguish the hot spot -rrb- . you can also remove the head assembly entirely for a ` candle ' mode ; this do give good area light , but you can not look directly at the light bulb , so it can not really double as a lantern . it do not have a dual drain feature ; it would be nice to have a switch that can give much reduce light but give much longer battery life , so this thing be not much use as a emergency tool . here , you will get traditional maglite quality . a solid piece of machined aluminum and a lead bulb that will never burn out . you can expect a solid lifetime of good use and abuse . so , outside of the occasional battery change , you will be able to hand this down to you grandchild ; assume , of course , that a ` friend ' do not ` accidentally ' borrow it or you lose it . Postscript : I have now come to regret buy this . it be very bright , but not anymore so than other ' 1 watt ' one . for a few $ $ $ more , I could have get a Maglite regular 4-d flashlight and the optional xenon bulb . if I have know this before , I would never have buy it . +351 Flashlight POS 5 not much need to be say , a fantastic light that have serve I for year . it just get to be time to replace a very old one . I stand by the traditional bulb for the same reason I recommend the 3 cell over the 2 cell , they be better if you need to crack somebody in the skull . +743 Flashlight POS 5 one day i fill up the sink and put my mag instrument 3d cell battery flashlight next to the sink go to use the washroom and when i get back it fall in the sink i take it out and to my surprise it still work +526 Flashlight POS 4 everything but the holster ... well ... be plain great ! I find the flashlight around my local area but they be not at this price . I simply take the holster and get rid of it . they rip and tear off quickly . in a pinch I guess they would be ok to use one day but that be about all you would get out it . I have a ballistic holster that I get on Amazon and it be a lot better and will last for year . +901 Flashlight NEU 3 I have always be a big fan of Maglite flashlight ... and I be excite when I find a camo one on Amazon that be advertise as led . I would previously try a conversion kit to change a maglite to a led , but it do not work out so well , so I think I would order one that already have the led . I open the package , put the battery in , and guess what ? it be a xenon bulb -lrb- which be a great bulb , but not so great on battery life . -rrb- . very disappoint in the misleading description . I 'll give it three star because it be a great little flashlight , even though it be not what I want , and not what be advertise . +157 Flashlight POS 5 receive my mag Lite quickly . I find this product excellent . well construct and long lasting . I wish that battery last longer , but we can not have every thing . great size for walk my dog at night . +862 Flashlight POS 5 for its size , its the best thing out there in term of light , with a great slim outer shell . the include holster be a great plus . long battery life due to the led ! +625 Flashlight NEG 1 many of you must have notice that various manufacturer of power tool be `` give away '' flashlight with cordless drill , etc. . well , this be how they make money , by charge $ 5 for one flashlight bulb ! what a ripoff . in my experience , these light bulb be cheaply manufacture and blow out in matter of week , not year . I recommend that you search for `` 4-led flashlight '' on Amazon.com and , for a bit more money , buy one of these lead model for which you never have to replace the bulb . +851 Flashlight NEU 3 find someone else to ship this thing to you . 8 buck for shipping and it be like 10 day after I get it . +20 Flashlight POS 4 Update : I be too harsh when I write the original review . in fact , I buy two more to have handy in case of power failure . if you use a flashlight for work , say plumbing or cabling in darkish area , the lack of a single button be a pain ; for a reliable light that keep the battery fresh a long time , this be a good buy . + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + good , solid little flashlight , and very bright . just be aware that there be no button ; you must rotate the head to turn it on , mean you need two hand . this be not the flashlight to keep by you bed at night , because if you hear a sound and have to reach for protection and the light , you will be fumble to turn this on . yes , it be possible , with practice , to turn it on with one hand -- if you hand be large and strong enough -lrb- but not too large ! -rrb- . another situation : if you be out walk in the evening and a car start come towards you , a button to turn on the light quickly be much better than fumble around try to twist the head . of course if you hand be sweaty or you have put on some lotion and suddenly need a light , again , you need two hand , and even then , you be fumble . on a postive note : one way to measure a flashlight 's quality be by how well it preserve battery when not in use . this be almost as good as its d cell sibling , and much better than any other aa flashlight that I have use . battery stay fresh in this a long , long time . +223 Flashlight POS 5 I order the light and it come in 3 day with regular shipping . the light be very bright , it be very lite for it be size and stay charge for day . +565 Flashlight POS 4 this be really a bright flashlight . a classic Maglite product . make from aircraft aluminum . it be really rugged that it become a issue with the lapd for use they as a melee weapon . wife do not want to touch it , it be heavy like a sledgehammer . pro : - it be blind bright . - adjustable beam spread by twist the head , which be also serve as the on and off switch . - well construct in every detail . - water resistant - it even include a spare lamp inside the tail cap -lrb- under the spring -rrb- . - reasonable price con : - use 4 `` d '' battery that make it so heavy and big . it be a struggle to carry it unless you need it also as a weapon . - maglite be somewhat overrate in my opinion . +420 Flashlight POS 5 i get one of the mag charger lite bout 7 year ago from a friend and its be the best lite ever ive use it coon huntin and on the job as a security guard in a very active junk yard finally the switch go out and i just reorder I a new one anyway if u work in a bad place night shift the magcharger what u want . +800 Flashlight POS 4 these be a replacement for a set I have buy year ago and one have break . I really like these bracket as they allow I to keep my mag lite flashlight in a conspicuous spot and allow easy removal when need . my only concern be that they do break after a couple of year . I would like to see a softer more flexible plastic use in they construction , thus ensure a longer lasting product . of course with the reasonable price I feel they be still a good buy . +523 Flashlight POS 4 hus folk , these clip be great and do exactly what they describe . it take a hefty pull to get the flashlight out when use both mount and that be exactly what you want . I would warn fellow knuckle dragger like myself , that when the flashlight be remove from it be clip , the clip can be break with a bit of pressure in the wrong direction . I would recommend install the clip where there be not a chance of they be rub or push up against by anything else . I install my clip near the stickshift of a Jeep Wrangler on the passenger side and I have end up go through 3 set in 11 year . as far as I know , there be nothing else out there that be as cheap or as good so I 'll stick with they but want to offer up some placement advice . Cheers , NORCALROOTS +832 Flashlight NEG 1 I have have three maglite , which be not expose to rugged use . even though the battery and bulb be still good , they no longer operate . somehow it appear that the connection or wiring have fail ! +905 Flashlight POS 5 the construction and quality be what you would expect from a maglite with a solid and durable aluminum body and rubber gasket inside to keep out dirt and water . the grip be also nicely texture to keep the flashlight from slip out of you hand . light output be excellent with a bright , white beam and good throw distance . the reflector have be redesign from the 2aa incandescent model and eliminate the infamous Maglite `` hole '' -lrb- a dark spot in the middle of the beam -rrb- when the flashlight be on full flood . adjust to spot be not a dramatic difference , but it definitely put more light in the center of the beam which can be useful in certain situation . battery last a long , long time , and unlike the older incandescent model , the light output do not decrease to unusable level long before the battery be dead but rather stay clear and bright until the battery be exhaust . the led be also considerably more durable than a incandescent bulb , and my LED Maglite have survive knock and drop that would have require a bulb replacement in my old incan model . and while the lead version be about a inch longer than the old model , the flashlight be still small and light enough to carry everywhere -lrb- I always keep mine on my belt so it be always handy when I need it , which be more often than you would expect ! -rrb- . I have only one caveat : the flashlight do not have reverse polarity protection meaning that if you accidentally install the battery backwards , you 'll smoke the led and you 'll have to buy a new flashlight . just be careful when install the battery and you 'll be fine . it might seem a little pricey , but it be worth every penny . ---------- Edit : a year later and this little flashlight be still go strong . it never leave my side . +546 Flashlight POS 4 I 'll say this first : as far as cheap led flashlight go , this be probably the most rugged and versatile one I have find . it be solid aluminum with a nice gunmetal finish , and it be fairly decently water-sealed . I have use this at night in the rain with no problem . it be not exactly insanely bright , but certainly bright enough to clearly see in front of you for about fifteen-twenty foot . past that , the beam lose a lot of its power and be just a soft light . the candle feature be interesting and useful , but the expose bulb be painfully bright to the naked eye . it need a teensy lil ' lampshade . it have a two additional mode that involve flash at different interval - a neat feature for signaling , and even self-defense . with how bright it be , you can briefly blind and disorient someone and make a getaway . it be not go to win you any fight , but it might get you out of one in a pinch . heck , you can even set it to strobe and then take the cap off so you can have a little rave party . as for flaw , it have a few , but they be not really serious . I have have issue with the flashlight flicker - partially due to the cap come loose through handling , and partly because the battery be loose enough in the housing to rattle a little side-to-side . additionally , the ability to `` focus '' the beam be pretty mild . it start out at full focus , and as you twist the end more , it just become a extremely unfocused dull light with -lrb- I imagine -rrb- limited application . the battery life be pretty decent . I get a good two-three hour of maximum brightness , and then it start dim almost imperceptibly over time . probably a good six hour of effective use . it be always a surprise to I how bright it can be when I change the battery . another reviewer mention something about not have a lanyard loop . while not visible in the product image , there be a small hole build into the cap of the flashlight through which one could put a lanyard . there be a different model that do not have say hole , however . +322 Flashlight POS 5 though this 2d model be slightly smaller than the 4d model that many people be familar with , this model be just as useful . in fact , I prefer the 2d model because it be easier to handle and not as awkward to carry as the longer 4d model . the light in this baby shine bright enough to almost completely illuminate a small room . if you so desire , you can focus the beam or let it spill out . the bulb hardly ever have to be replace and even if you use the inexpensive battery , they do not need to be replace as often either -lrb- the light suck all the juice out -rrb- . besides just be a great flashlight , the mag-lite 2d also work well as a club -- you can actually knock someone out cold . a great tool ; one that every home should at least have one of . +99 Flashlight POS 5 this flashlight be worth the price . it be well make and durable . I would definitely recommend this to a friend . +164 Flashlight POS 5 get she as advertise could not even get they at Home depot around here but Amazon have it in stock +483 Flashlight POS 5 install these on the wall in my kitchen to mount my LED Maglite and they work like a charm . they be make from plastic but be really sturdy and after a lot of use so far I do not have any doubt they will last a long time . +866 Flashlight NEU 3 decent ring . I would recommend use with 2 d cell or 2-4 c cell light only as anything bigger be just ridiculous to carry in the manner design for this product . not the greatest leather as far as I can tell by look and feel . I do not have enough time and use with it to reveal wear and durability but figure that compare to most other law enforcement grade holder that it would not stand up as well . certainly not practical or tough enough for police work but may be desirable for light security and maintenance work . +208 Flashlight NEG 2 I have have several maglite over the year and while read the review decide to get this light because it be lead . wrong , for some reason most of the review be on the lead version and this light be the battery eating krypton version . I have drawer full of these old one and do not use they because they be just old inefficient technology . I be bum out and request a refund and plan to refuse the fedex shipment . but when I cancel the order they say to just keep it . I really do not wont the damned thing but I think it would cost they more if I now refuse the package . moral quandary . maybe I 'll upgrade it with the LED kit . +837 Flashlight NEG 2 product arrive on time as advertise with no problem . ship be outrageous . I do not note it at the time and would not have order if I have of notice . that be my fault . for $ 10 shipping I would have think that it would have be hand deliver within a hour . they make good money on that one . +854 Flashlight POS 5 this product be deliver complete and new . final cost of product be as show on site Delirvery be as schedule . very satisfy with process . +677 Flashlight POS 4 I have have two Mini Maglite LED 's now , the first be package as a 3 watt , but no explanation of lumen . it have only two mode , on and off . I think it be a great light , but after about a year of daily use , I start have problem with the switch sticking . I spray a small amount of wd40 into the barrel to loosen the switch . it work , and I use it for several more month trouble free , until it start stick again . I repeat the wd40 trick , and the switch again start work , but this time , the light output turn blue . it look like there be some kind of a clear cap over the led that come off , apparently loosen by the wd40 . I be unable to reattach it , so I retire that light as useless , and purchase a new one . the new light have the additional mode , and say nothing about 3 watt , but it be every bit as bright as the original . I add the petroleum jelly around the thread , and it work great for a few week . then I start have trouble with the switch . I think the petroleum jelly would have take care of that , but it do not . I finally dip a q-tip in wd40 , and very carefully apply a very small amount around the switch . so far so good . I buy one for my wife , she light exhibit the same problem . it be always with the switch . +806 Flashlight POS 5 I purchase this product to be use by a entire division of over 25 personel onboard a NAVY vessel . in the workspace , temperature be always over 100 degree , and the flashlight have be drop numerous time on steel deck . the Maglight have even be submerge in oily water , and I have not have one problem with it . +993 Flashlight POS 5 this be a really good light . it stay in the charger so it be always ready to go . focusable beam be a great feature . it be very bright . +911 Flashlight POS 5 this be a great flashlight . the head can be position any direction and it be durable . I have three of these for my shop and car . +488 Flashlight POS 5 I have originally intend to buy this belt loop to hang my carabiner full of key . I be get tired of rip my jeans ' and shorts ' belt loop clean off of the pants themselves , so I buy this to move the load onto the belt instead . they be great for that purpose , as the plastic ring be very durable and the leather , which appear real , be sturdy . my key hang a little lower now , but I would rather have they jingle and jangle around my leg instead of ruin my pants . I also have d-cell maglite , and it work great for those as well . overall , this be a sturdy product . you really can not quite go wrong with it . +386 Flashlight NEU 3 the AA Mini mag be a reliable tool for everyday use . here be the pro 's : it be compact size and the sheath allow you to carry it anywhere you go . if you drop it nothing will happen to it -lrb- unless of course you abuse it -rrb- . the lens scratch easily , but they be inexpensive to replace . the lightbulb be also inexpensive should the original blow out . the head quickly adjust from spotlight to floodlight , and it be quick conversion to candle mode make it a unique tool , especially during a blackout or natural disaster . its compact size also allow you to use it in tight space such as check the back of the refrigerator , wash machine , or in you car 's engine . the con 's : the light be not too bright , it just do not hack it if you be picky about illumination . of course the xenon bulb be better than the type you 'll find on a $ 1 Dorcy light , and many other cheap flashlight . but if you have use Streamlight , Inova , Surefire , or even the new 3-watt led maglite , you 'll be disappoint by its brightness . if you be willing to spend some buck , you can upgrade you Mini mag to a 1 Watt LED light , which will provide twice as much light . you can also buy the switch that allow you to turn it on at the bottom with a simple click . there be some pretty cool thing out there that can turn this tough , reliable flashlight into something better ! however , it be still not appropriate for law enforcement , military , security guard , etc. . it would be more appropriate for everyday household use , walk the dog at night , or light up the room you in during a blackout . this flashlight usually range between 8-15 buck depend on where you get it from . if you spend about $ 25 buck -lrb- which would be roughly the same amount you would spend to upgrade the minus mag -rrb- , you can buy yourself a 2aa battery , 3-watt Mini-Mag Lite with a holster that will surely not leave you disappointed . it be light output be tremendous , and it be sure to blind you or anyone who look directly onto it . it also travel further . it also save battery life . it be not you average led-light , it be better and at a affordable price . so you might want to give that other flashlight a try if you be picky about the brightness of you flashlight . Hope this help ! +528 Flashlight POS 5 my son love these flashlight !!! the three of they lay in bed at night and take turn make picture on the ceiling !! the flashlight come with a extra bulb which be located in the other end therefore no chance of lose it !!! +147 Flashlight NEU 3 need LED-LUXEON UPGRADE seem well made-i upgrade the bulb help a little - +459 Flashlight POS 5 the best article if you need a powerfull flashlight . excelent bulb , adjustable beam and strong material .

Super bright with a wonderful adjustable focusing\/spreading beam . I be enthral . after the month honeymoon , reality set in as in as its ability to hold a charge rapidly weaken . soon , when take it from its charge cradle it would become useless in a matter of minute . I buy two more rechargeable battery , at twenty buck a pop ... ... ... ... . same result : take it out of it be charge cradle and all be fine . five minute later no light at all . during that two year , all I have use it for be occasionally go out with the dog at night and during infrequent power outage . it look just like it come out of the box , not a mark or even a smudge on it . there be no way the flashlight use could have exceed five hour . despite its very limited use , I still go through 4 replacement bulb at five buck a pop . along the way , the switch stop work ... in the on position . one still could turn it off and on by unscrew back a half dozen turn , but ... ... . . do the arithmetic . at 95 buck cost new , plus 60 buck in battery plus 20 buck in bulb come to $ 175.00 for 5 hour use work out to $ 35 per hour ... ... for a flashlight with a broken switch and will not hold a charge for five minute .

I have own other type but they never seem to last so you get what you pay for . I also own one of the mag-lite flashlight that you recharge and while it be kinda high in price I love this one and it be so bright you wouldnt believe it . so you can see that I be a true believer in the mag-lite and if you be interested in the rechargeable the cost be around $ 110.00 and they be usually sell at place that sell law enforcement supplies . one more thing and that be they be make in the USA !! +332 Flashlight POS 5 I have 6 of they and one in my car . I give one to my mom . I tell she you use to hit someone over the head if you need to lol I tell she also if there be ever a fire use it to brake out the window with it . one of mine be at least 13 year old . sure you be spend a little more for maglite but they last for ever . I have drop mine from about 30 foot the dam thing still work great . this week i pick up 10 pack of d battery with spring come up and bad weather . +123 Flashlight NEG 1 this flashlight do everything except be a flashlight . not sure how the switch be make , but if the light be bang or bump the light turn to the next mode which include SOS or dim , etc. . please just turn on and stay on , and it doesnt do that . buy two , never again , return one , need to get rid of the other . steer clear of this junk , this light make you want to smash it it be so annoying use it for work and it bump and start blinking . +91 Flashlight POS 5 I order one of these for my husband for christmas and he love he . I receive mine as a christmas gift from my dad several year ago because he would see I use old junky flashlight that you could barely see in front of you to take my dog out at night . this lite be extremely bright and you can see for a long way , you can not go wrong with this one and I highly recommend it . +402 Flashlight POS 5 this lamp have be engineer to withstand abuse . it be a very basic flashlight , except for the heavy duty construction . have stand the test ot my two year old , who want he own flashlight . +957 Flashlight NEG 1 purchase this small led flashlight to try out for a all around toolbox , glovebox , field inspection light . I currently own two original 2d cell maglite and they be excellent , both 5-6 year old and great shape . I purchase the genuine Maglite LED upgrade kit for both of they and be very satisfied . Have have the same d battery in they for 1-2 year and they be still put out great light , so excellent battery life . for the small 2aa light , first the pro : the aluminum housing be solid , same quality as older maglite ; the lead light be actually brighter than my 2d lead maglite and i actually prefer the 2aa light as it be whiter , and if the control work well i would buy more of they ; the size be perfect . for the con : the control make this a very annoying product ; the twist on\/off be fine , but one small bump or a small twist of the front and it shift from high to low or to flash mode . twist control fine , but when you pick 100 % on it should stay that way unless you intentionally change it , not change with a mild touch . when inspect a building with colleague the last thing I want be a flashlight to start flash like poltergeist . I personally would prefer just on\/off , or on 100 % \/ on 50 % \/ off . the flash light and SOS mode for I be unneeded ; the 25 % mode be too dim to be useful , i would recommend 100 % \/ 50 % ; nextly , the end battery cap do not stay on tightly . my old maglite have to turn hard to tighten and they stay that way . this battery cap loosen easily and then actually switch the mode -lrb- 100 % to 25 % to flash -rrb- when it be loose ; lastly , i do miss the on\/off switch find on the 2d light . final word : frame quality , great . brightness , great . just need the old Maglite rock solid on\/off control . user tip : I actually put some white teflon plumber tape inside the thread of the battery cap and it stay much tighter . I also put teflon on the inside on\/off thread and it be harder to twist , so it do not switch mode by itself so easily . not sure how long it will last but worth a try . +794 Flashlight POS 5 please see my review on DeWalt DW 9043 bulb , as most of that apply here . bulb work great , but run very hot . Lens very hot , after 2-3 seconds touch , reflector about the same . metal hinge\/holder too hot to touch . some plastic smell in first 10 minute inspection . check again at 1 hour 5 minute -lrb- total test time -rrb- and still the same . no scorch or melt plastic . a winner ... UPDATE april27\/12 : still work great with normal drop and bang , lens heat not a issue ... +954 Flashlight POS 5 for the price , this be a very well build flashlight , dont expect too much light output from it tho . . I buy it mainly because I can simply attach it into my key chain so whenever I need some light , it serve its purpose I be surprise see ppl give it 1 star in term of the light output , what would you expect from a $ 5 flashlight that be the size of you finger ?? +572 Flashlight NEG 1 what a waste of money . this be not a lead light , and do not come close to the performance of a lead light at half the price ! guess we be pay for the name and the lifetime warranty . this one will easily last a lifetime , sit unused in a drawer . buy it for my medical career wife -lrb- she like purple -rrb- but it be clumsy for she to turn on , concentrate the beam , then turn off with one hand . buy she a 99-cent tear-drop shaped keychain lead light on a whim and its perfect . brighter and easier to use , replaceable battery , and 1\/7 the cost . I really expect more from this company , but both this light and they customer perspective be obsolete . no complaint with the quality of construction . solid aluminum and o-ring as usual . just have the minor flaw of cast a weak and scattered beam , way below the performance of modern led technology . the light be yellow and full of shadow artifact that prevent a clean illumination . not a good buy ; do not repeat my mistake ! +260 Flashlight POS 5 as always Maglite be the best . especially when price like this . thank you for that . the actual weight of this flashlight with 6 copper-top be about 2 or 3 pound . so it be probably too long and heavy for close quarter mechanic type work . but for those of we that need a unofficial `` weapon '' on the job , this more than fit the bill . I hope to get the glass break tip soon . +83 Flashlight NEG 1 this look at the darkness ring \/ write where small size maglite be dim . if the head of the flashlight which be break that be twist , concern that exactly as for a certain thing , that that it be and change the beam into the dark ring flood where light\/write be put in place appropriately exactly from the fact that it become black it be possible necessary . so be anodize for corrosion resistance and the durability which increase , this flashlight really the automatic operation which remove oxidation as a feature show the type switch of cleaning which rust . while make the application of a bad state where the part of the circuit of low resistance the electric battery be bad possible , the o ring of resistance to class and the water whose each start be high produce effect . the representative of nast free light\/write of the hand of of the convenience which candle mode that be entreat include in the darkness in regard to this flashlight . need the something which dark state be hard , sign of the diamond which be apply that have be break perhaps and be the fairness where where it be turn off and with that of the point in regard to the excessive lamp of help of the tail hat of grip that you attach . you purchase include the electric battery of the main holder and two alkali aa . +426 Flashlight POS 5 I receive the MAGLITE M2A016 AA Mini Flashlight a few month ago from Amazon . it work as advertise and illuminate quite adequately the small size be quite handy . there be a spare bulb in the base ; have not realize this I purchase two spare bulb ... . unlike a previous reviewer I do receive the two AA Duracell Batteries at the advertised price +304 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this light because I have a flashlight addiction . I also find pleasure in own thing that will outlast I . in addition to this 6-d maglite , I purchase a Nite Ize 1 watt lead dropin from Lighthound , which I install as soon as I receive the club -lrb- flashlight , sorry -rrb- . led or no led , maglite be a exceptional value for a heavy duty flashlight that will provide year of service and be easily modify . we have a half dozen scatter throughout the house . I be astounded at the sheer enormity of this light . Haha . it be truly a beast , suitable for carry on a belt loop while patrolling one 's neighborhood during a blackout or disaster , or for walk one 's dog , or when walk through the nasty side of town . it be heavy enough to do damage and long enough to give you some reach without get too close to someone 's hand . it would also make a good light for one 's vehicle , to ride along next to you . sorry , this one will not fit in you glovebox . the one thing about standard incandescent flashlight -lrb- maglite include -rrb- be that the bulb be not very durable . the aluminum casing and bezel be almost indestructible , but once you wail on someone or use it as a hammer , or drop it into a sinkhole -lrb- bad experience while cave , long story -rrb- , they be pretty much shot , and you once-dual-use item be now a expensive and heavy piece of milled barstock . with a lead dropin kit install , this problem be negate -lrb- there be many such kit ; some burn hotter than other , but do not last as long , and some be barely brighter than moonlight , but last hundred of hour on a single set of battery -rrb- . I think Nite Ize be good compromise , as long as you get the 1-watt bulb . seem they have clock better than 28 hour during run test , and this on a 3-c cell light . with more battery come higher output and longer runtime . check out Candlepowerforums.com for more info . either way I be glad I buy this light . it give I a less-lethal option with more reach than a pocket lead light , and a focusable beam . plus , it be likely that it will outlive I . in a throw away world , mag Instruments stand out . they manufacture item that be not only fully warranteed , but be bombproof , make in the USA , -lrb- mostly -rrb- , and to top it all , you can find they largest light on Amazon for less than 30 bone . I think that be a laudable record . they have my business , for life . pmz +791 Flashlight POS 5 this little tiny flashlight be powerful . from the name you can trust . I have have mag-lite for many year and I have to say that this one be the most convenient of they all . it be durable , lightweight , and very inexpensive . it fit into any pocket , or can go on any key chain . you can even have one in any part of you car or house for those little emergency that ary . the aluminum alloy case be so protected that this flashlight can last a lifetime . it have be a great and useful investment . enjoy !?! +410 Flashlight NEG 1 after purchase this item online , i go to wholesale store like costco and i see that a mag instrument pack of 1 big torch -lrb- a size -rrb- and 1 -lrb- aa size -rrb- torch just cost around $ 13.99 +425 Flashlight NEG 1 it cost about 80 cent to ship these anywhere in the state via postal service , yet rfbdirect seem to have a flat rate of $ 7 . they must be lunar base . also , these be garbage bulb anyway . for the price of a Dewalt tool , you would think they could make a better bulb ! +564 Flashlight POS 5 move to a new apartment I know that I would need a flashlight at some point . I have a old flashlight that hardly work and think a small , easy to use flashlight would be fine . the review on this product be positive so I take the leap . I be really please with this light . I have not have a lot of use for it at this point , but the few time I have have to use it , it have work as expect . I be also a bit fan of the lamp ability that this light have . I would definitely recommend this product . +130 Flashlight POS 5 great bracket for the light . put it in my truck and the bracket have not drop my light yet . I do some really hard off-roading and the light stay in the mount bracket . +28 Flashlight POS 5 the superior lite for a guy or a gal . it never let you down at any season . +379 Flashlight POS 4 great flashlight . a little large , but bright and very durable . only disadvantage be that it can not be upgrade to a lead ; mag only make led for up to 4d . +306 Flashlight POS 5 what can one say about Maglite ? they the best ! I have a full size mag and several of the minus 's . I love the Mini-Mag lead !!! first off they as indestructable as a light be gonna come . serious shock resistance ... serious water resistance ... not a hammer and not a diver 's light but as close as the most of we will ever need . secondly they weight be about right . Heavy enough to protect they but not so heavy that it can not be carry in a pack in the outdoors . next up be the grip , it do have a nice checkered pattern etch into the shell that give a good grip even with glove or even when wet . battery life always depend on usage but be about average for most aa light . like most LED 's , bulb life be advertise as 100k hour . while I do not think it will last that long , it will make it long enough to make you feel it be a worthwile investment , and the bulb probably will not be what fail first anyway . next let talk about light...four-funtion of light ! by twist the bezel counter-clockwise it turn on the full power beam . now it be not the brightest compact light in the world -lrb- that distiction go to lithium power tactical light -rrb- but for a AA Alkaline power light , it the brightest I have see . brighter infact than my 3aa power Gerber tx3 .0 ! I have not do a distance comparison between they yet , but I can tell you that sit in my chair in the wood camping , the Mini-Mag illuminate distance up to 30 ' like daylight ! I be not kid ! distance up 50 ' can be see pretty well assume there be not too much clutter to cast shadow . also a big plus ; unlike previous generation of Mini-Mag LED 's , the bezel can adjust to focus the beam . finally turn it clockwise until it tighten and stop will turn off the light . now that be one fuction ... turn the bezel couter-clockwise and then back off , then counter-clockwise -lrb- or on-off-on -rrb- within about 3 seconds will take you to mode # 2 ... low power . accord to the box it be about 25 % power . I find it to be a great reading light , map light for the car , light to look in small space where too much power could `` wash out '' or blind you eye . in fact I use it for navigation in total darkness . that way I be not totally blind when I turn off my light . next mode # 3 ... -lrb- from off ... on-off-on-off-on -rrb- it be a flasher that flash at about 1 flash per second . Great for signaling ! I speak from experence here . I have a family member lose after a hike that get past sundown . I hike to a ridgetop right off the road then use this flasher to help they locate I . it work ! it be not a high speed strobe so it be not a defense tool , but as a locator signal , I give it a useful thumb up ! finally mode # 4 ... -lrb- from off ... on-off-on-off-on-off-on -rrb- S.O.S. mode . I seriously doubt anyone of we will be so lose or stand that we 'll be signal pass plane and ship but hey I guess if you be ... in all seriousness though if it be all you have get , it could help you be find by rescure or a passer-by . consider this , a 100 % truely dead car battery , mean no 4-way flasher . it addition help show that you need help with this almost universally recognize help signal , it also help make you vehicle visible avoid a potentially deadly accident . all in all , perhaps a little gimicky , perhaps not ... it all depend on what you intend to do with you new light . one final word about the bezel switch . after about 3 to 5 seconds of sit in either the off or on position , the next time the light be turn on it will return to full power output -lrb- aka mode # 1 -rrb- . I be not kid when I say this be my favorite product I have ever review ! there be so many use ! and everyone have need of it , they may just not know it yet ! +987 Flashlight POS 5 high quality construction . bright for its size and reasonable battery usage for type of flashlight . what more can you ask for , consider the price ? +166 Flashlight POS 5 this will be the second one I have own . the first one I have for 10 year and leave on a bus , by accident . it be the best deterrent one could hope for . when you carry it like a cop with you hand at the lamp ready to flash it in someone face to stun they with the light , pop they on the forehead to get they attention , or knock they to the ground use it like a baseball bat . man look at you very differently , a bit scared and not cat call and blow you kiss . +527 Flashlight POS 4 some reviewer disparage these clip because they be plastic . I have to look closely at they to make sure they be plastic since they feel very sturdy to I . I attach they to the frame of my futon in a couple of minute and now feel better know that I have a light handy without even have to get out of bed . I plan to get another set , or two , to mount a light near the garage door and maybe even in my suv . +406 Flashlight NEG 2 when everyone say mag light be `` top of the line '' they be be incredibly naive ! try look into some real flashlight like Surefire , Fenix , and huntlight ! mag light even measure in candlepower , which grossly exaggerate brightness too . you turn they on and they be bright , but in 10 minute it 'll get dimmer . I own a flashlight by fenix which be easily 5 time as bright as this and will fit in the palm of my hand ! before you buy this light , consider the p1dce by Fenix , or the g2 from Surefire . thank you ! +359 Flashlight POS 5 if you be like I , you be always shine light into people 's eye , ear , and mouth in clinic and on the ward . it be important when check pupillary reactivity to have a strong , even , consistent light that you can trust ! this light fit the bill perfectly . it clip into you whitecoat breast pocket and stay there . it come in several stylish color . and the ability to manually focus the light allow you to eliminate annoying ` hot spot ' and ` cold spot ' in the beam , common with cheap penlight , that might lead the naive medical student to miscall a afferent pupillary defect on the difficult ` swinging-flashlight ' test ! I have be care for patient with my Mini MagLite for more than 3 year . I would urge you to do the same ! +38 Flashlight POS 5 these 12-volt flashlight bulb be difficult to find . the price from Amazon be terrific , and they be here in two day . great deal . +492 Flashlight NEG 2 I be what some might call a flashlight abuser . I work as a professional auto mechanic , and I use a flashlight every day . many time a day , in fact . and guess what , I drop it on the floor occasionally . in my experience , this routine be too demand for 95 % of the flashlight out there . I could spend 8o buck on some `` ultimate '' flashlight , but I never will because it would undoubtedly get lose within a week . I have find that the regular , under ten buck , krypton-bulb Mini Maglite be up to the task , however . while the bulb need to be change frequently , I have never have to replace a maglite entirely , except when I lose one . for this reason , I think I would give the lead version a try after I misplace my regular flashlight , to try to save some energy . I be pleasantly surprise at the brightness of the LED bulb . its focus be not adjustable , but the light it produce be bright enough that this be not really a necessity . I wish the flashlight come in brighter color , because misplacement be a big concern for I . I really can not fathom why there be so many black flashlight on the market . I guess maybe people think they look cool or something . I have try LED flashlight and bicycle headlight in the past and have find that they have a major flaw-the electronics be quite succeptible to routine shock such as a 3-foot drop . and , of course , the electronic gut be the most expensive and hard to replace part of the lamp . unfortunately , the LED Maglite be no exception . my flashlight start to cut out intermittently within a few week after I buy it . it be now entirely dead after maybe two month . I think the Maglite would be a cut above the usual led light , and I be wrong . oh well , I guess I 'll find some other way to save the planet . +799 Flashlight POS 5 I buy this flashlight in 1996 and it be clearly the best flashlight I have ever own . as a police officer I need a flashlight that be durable , could light up the occupant of a vehicle at night to the point where they be blind , and allow I to see everything in the vehicle . this flashlight be literally a lifesaver . I have replace the battery pack once and a few bulb , and I still use it today . Worth every penny ! +765 Flashlight POS 5 mag Lite make wonderful flashlight of all size . this one fit perfect in my leathercraft tool holder that I ware work outside . +297 Flashlight POS 5 this be a short Maglite . I leave it in the glove box of the car . it work great . I have have it over a year and each time I have use it the light have work fine . it be not a large beam of light ; but for look at small thing up close it work fine . +238 Flashlight POS 5 this be the greatest fleshlight for work , because you can set the thing down and pivot the head to where you need light . it be like have someone hold it for you . it will withstand alot of abuse . it be very bright , for a relatively long time . the only thing that I can complain about be the price of the bulb . +215 Flashlight NEU 3 this bulb be not as bright as the original Ryobi bulb that come with the flashlight . I end up buy the led bulb for 20 $ . the led make similar amount of light as this bulb -lrb- so , the LED be not as bright as the original either -rrb- , but extend the battery life to 6 time as much as before ! +870 Flashlight NEG 1 Maglite sell great flashlight many year ago . they have not really change they light much over the year , and they be fall behind . there be much better , smaller , and brighter light on the market for reasonable price . why lug around three huge and heavy d cell ? maglite have be sue smaller company for unreasonable reason . they sue smaller company for silly little thing . do you want to buy from a huge company that crush the other little guy ? I sure do not want to . I think that if you want a good flashlight you should look at Surefire , Streamlight , Scorpion , and other company . +342 Flashlight POS 5 the duracell daylite lead flashlight be definitely brighter when it come to comparably size light . I buy this want a small penlight , medium amount of light , and high durability . it fit three these criterion perfectly . my last one die because the battery leak and corrode the bottom out . lesson : change the battery when they be dead , do not just leave they . if you want a small , medium power , durable penlight-this be the way to go . if you want more light and can deal with something a little bigger : go with the daylite +680 Flashlight POS 5 I have recently take up the sport of extreme hunting , where I forgo traditional weapon and instead equip myself with nothing more than my wit and a club . because I typically stalk my prey at night , I decide to give the s6d106 a try . I have find , however , that the product 's primary quality -lrb- size and mass -rrb- make it more suitable as a hunting implement than a flashlight . I have down many deer and other game by simply bash they head in with this tool . the s6d016 also serve as a acceptable anti-bear device . I be once attack by a female grizzly bear during one of my hunting trip . instead of run or scream as be usually suggest , I counter the bear 's charge with my own maglite assault . the sturdy construction of the s6d016 be prove when I use the flashlight to parry the bear 's swipe . I be alive today because of this flashlight . finally , the beam generate by the s6d016 be powerful and clear . it be a pretty good flashlight . but , that have not be the focus of my use of the product in a long time . +256 Flashlight NEG 1 I be shop for a lead flashlight . I do not get one . the review under this item describe a lead flashlight . I think that the item be lead , so I order it . read very carefully as the review under this item be not for this item . it be very misleading . +124 Flashlight POS 5 I have one of these unit previously but with a conventional bulb . this unit have a bright led bulb and longer battery life . the construction be robust like all maglite product .
