 Great flashlight for a great price. August 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.

i needed a super bright led mag, and got a 2nd rate one next to a 2 cell led.( i have both)i work at a amusement park in la,cali.need more brighter one so i thought hopefully the nex step was to buy 3cell,stick to the 2d cell mag it is superior!!!!then 3.also the paint on it is off not totally on the end cap.andthere was grooves on the shaft(2cell).not only the one grip that mag light provides ,maybe got the oldest of the old school.
Long Lasting July 31, 2008
I use this at work everyday and the batteries seem to last forever. Literally replace the battteries once in 3 months. And it is always bright. Finally goes dead all at once with little warning. I love it. Drop it on the concrete floor, get is greasy and oily, it always works. Never have had to replace the bulb.
MAG Instruments still produce quality. June 1, 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!
