 maglite Aug 27, 2008
great flashlight!!! Very bright. Gonna buy a small one now. Dont get me wrong, the original maglites are good but the LED maglite is way better.
Great flashlight for a great price. Aug 26, 2008
We only had one flashlight at the house, so after some research I decided on this one. It works great and uses 3 of my D batteries I had laying around from an unused camping lantern.

MAG Instruments still produce quality. Jun 01, 2008
I'm not a flashlight expert.
I wouldn't claim to be quite as bright as any products MAG Instruments can produce, either.
What I wanted was a flashlight that didn't cost $150, took standard batteries that didn't cost half as much as the flashlight, a bright LED bulb, and wouldn't break inherently or other silly things, like switches.
MAG Instruments has been making flashlights that have been helping cops and security for years, doubling as a nice skull-cracker and eye-blinder. It's saved countless motorists, bikers and truckers from nights of dead car batteries and flat tires under the crappiest and cuss-induced conditions imaginable.
It's the proper tool for the job, as far as I'm concerned. You can't beat a classic, that is, unless it's an improved classic with an unbelievably bright LED bulb.
Well done, MAG.
Oh and consider getting the 4D model for this reason: "D" sized batteries get sold in 4's. Makes sense, right?
The 3D model is just easier to pocket and stash in the car without sacrificing too much balance and power capacity, if you ask me. Just some ideas, get the right tool for what you need, obviously.

Perfect replacement for our bulb-style mini maglite May 20, 2008
Way brighter than our cheap chinese 3-bulb LED flashlight. Same size as our AA bulb-style maglite, but twice as bright.
The best part is the focused beam. For working in tight spots, this is perfect!

 Why the black hole? Apr 13, 2008
Twist this to widest beam, and the center is a huge black hole. As in "can't see much of anything" in the hole. I "inherited" a 2-cell mag and converted it to LED and thought it was pretty cool. So I acquired the 3-cell and felt good. After all, Maglite as a great reputation. Choice of police officers everywhere, especially the 4-cell, which helps subdue criminals. (God bless our police, that last comment is not intended to be a dig or criticism. I'd probably carry a 4-cell if I were a cop.)
Then I discovered other LED flashlights that put out more light than a 3-cell Mag, and no black hole. For example, the Coast 7438 Tactical Focus, at 5 inches long, 5.6 oz., and 3 AAA batteries. Comes with lanyard and nice carry pouch. Even in the pouch, this little light fits in your front pocket without showing a lump. The Coast costs roughly twice as much. Whether it is that much better than the Maglite with 3 D batteries depends on your perception and needs.
I keep my 2-cell Maglite in the kitchen and the 3-cell by the bed. The Coast I keep in my pocket.
