 MAGLITE IS STILL THE BEST January 28, 2008
When I got the maglite LED I sorta expected it to be good, how about great, wonderful, amazing! Only 3 White LED's and you can light up the backyard like daytime. I am going to have to give away my old Maglites as they just don't cut it anymore.
A classic December 25, 2007
All men like flashlights, perhaps its a carryover from our days as cavemen when we always made sure we had fire available. The Mag is the equivalent of a muscle car. Sure there are smaller, faster and even cheaper flashlights but the Mag just works. Its totally no-nonsense and has the product recognition value equivalent to Apple Computer.
The drawbacks are many. Its big, heavy, the krypton light isn't the best and the adjustable beam is rather ragged looking but it puts out a good amount of light and is tough enough to be dropped, used as a self defense weapon, improvised hammer, dog repellent, or crowbar.
You can get a xenon bulb for greater light output at the expense of battery life, or an LED upgrade which drops right in.
Many police forces stopped using the Mag not because it was a bad flashlight but because they were beating suspects to death with them so they were forced to use CR123 based mini tactical lights. Thats one tough flashlight.
They're not overly expensive, as there are others out there costing 4-5 times as much and frankly I'm unsure why they charge such a premium.
They're made in the USA so they can be considered a reasonably patriotic purchase.
 Not as good as everyone thinks.... November 7, 2007

When everyone says mag lights are "top of the line" they are being incredibly naive! Try looking into some real flashlights like Surefire, Fenix, and Huntlight! Mag lights even measure in candlepower, which grossly exaggerates brightness too. You turn them on and they're bright, but in 10 minutes it'll get dimmer. I own a flashlight by Fenix which is easily 5 times 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!
WOW! Great flashlight! September 11, 2007
I got the LED version of this Mag-lite recently. I was very satisfied. It was delivered two days ahead of schedule, and the flashlight is awesome, durable, and bright. What more do you want? My dad is always getting these cheap flashlights... he's going to be jealous when he sees this. It is very nice, bright, and it makes that satisfying "click" when you turn it on.
great lighting going on... April 15, 2007

I read some other reviews about this products batteries... that they don't last that long... but guess what! I proved it wrong... I bought this item like 4 weeks ago and still has enough power to light a whole 20x20 feet room. Now I see why police officers loves this tools, they can be used as self defense, and virtually undestructible! there's no way than this flashlight can be destroyed... all my friends have made a comment about it. the bottom line is that this flashlight is really usefull.
I'm back editing my review!!! I haven't still change the flshlights batteries in 5 months!!!! It has covered all my expectations... above everything! no more comments... it;s undestructible... I've taken it everywhere and used it alot... don't mess with a mag light!
