I recently bought a MAGLITE Pro AA LED flashlight. I bought it because of the commonly available AA alkaline batteries.

Just bought a new red ml300l 3D 746lm for 20 eur. This as an upgrade for my 1996 2D that I allready updated to LED years ago. I liked my 2D for having a proper light in hand. Have some chinese lights and also AA and tac mags but nothing beats a D-cell Maglite. For 20 I could not leave it there. I always wanted to be able to have high(er) lumens with the option to eco it down. I miss that in my other maglites. I like my purchase.

I just took out my maglite the batter exploded. maglite was a great torch 20 years ago. but today it is garbage. basically you are trying to persuade people nokia phone is useable today when everyone is using iphone. I can spend $10 and get a basic mini Olight and it is bright and nice. Customer will pay for made in USA if it is comparable in quality and price. otherwise competition will kill the product. maglite is a great example.

Olight I3T is a 300 lumen light the same size as the solitaire for the same price. The MagLite 2 cell puts out 19 lumens while the Seeker Pro 4700 and the Seeker is smaller. Comparing a Model T to a current Ford Mustang regarding performance is dilutional.

The it3 is a 180 lumen on high light lasting 21 minutes. The Maglite 2aa is a 323 lumen light. The 2aaa is a 100 lumen light. Each lasts significantly longer than the o light. There’s still a place for the OLight but I think Maglite still is relevant today and leaps and bounds better than an iPhone camera light

I've always liked MagLite's simplistic design. It just appeals to me. About a year ago I bought myself a Nitecore HC60V2 headlight for work. It felt a quality product at first but it started giving me trouble very soon. I felt like the on / off switch didn't always work as it should have and later on one plastic part of the headband broke while the light was in my backpack. I also have some other lights. Four of them are MagLites; MagTac plain bezel, XL200 (way too complicated and gimmicky), XL100 (still a bit complicated and gimmicky) and Solitaire LED on my keychain. They have never given me any trouble and the MagTac feels incredible well built and good in hand. I really love it. Money well spent. The Solitaire LED gets the most use because it's almost constantly on me when I'm awake. It's switchless design makes it perfect for every day pocket carry.

My problem with the LED Maglites is the drop rating. At least with the early ones, the drop rating was 1m and you were lucky if yours actually met that spec. For the price and position they want in the market, they should be in the 3m to 9m drop rating space like the Rayovac indestructible lines. I shifted to the those when Maglite lagged on LED. Has their drop rating improved? I haven't looked recently.

@@Outdoor_Prepperbecause they haven’t changed to newer and more technological efficient leds. Even an SST40 LED in a 3D cell maglite would put them eons ahead of where they are at! Whatever led they are using or are contracted to use is behind. It’s a shame because they CAN PUT better tech into their lights.

Maglites are sort of the Harley Davidsons of flashlights. People buy them for nostalgia or aesthetics but not because they excel at their core function of being the best flashlights they can be. The argument that Maglites are "simple to use" is not an honest argument at all, many other flashlights offer additional functions and capabilities while still being completely ergonomic.

I worked at a shellfish company dropped my mag in saltwater found it literally a year later exactly where I dropped it, had barnacles and a small creature attached but it still worked gave it a quick rinse and scrub and replaced the batteries and new led (new battery would have been sufficient, just decided to show the thing some love) … then left a customer review at the main website 10/10 would recommend!

A Mag Lite in hand certainly provides a distinct sense of confidence and nostalgia… like classic cars do. It’s foolish to pretend that they still hold a candle to modern flashlights. Any feature of a mag lite can be found in another company and also executed better. Their classic design, simple interface, and robust construction aren’t enough to keep them relevant unfortunately. My incandescent solitaire is truly a relic of the past. It will be helpful in showing my son what it was like, though!

@@jaredbryant8297 If your priority is sheer value and made in the USA, then I agree that Maglite is your best bet. Malkoff Devices makes some of the best flashlights in the USA in my opinion. I don't see why Maglite doesn't follow that recipe, since they certainly have the resources to do so. It reminds me of Casio in a way. There is no good reason that they can't produce a watch that competes with the Garmin Fenix, but they just refuse to do so. Which changes my opinion of them, even though I have a beloved collection of G Shocks and Pro Treks. I have similar feelings about Mag Instruments.

No 1,000 lumens is not enough stop making up excuses to defend maglite because you know they messed up big time in the flashlight game an ideal flashlight needs to put out at least 3000 to 4000 thousand lumens tops and at least a 250,000 thousand candela rating.
