MagLite - ST3D016 Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black

Ive got a 20 year old Maglite 3-d with incandescent bulb and this LED absolutely blows it away in brightness.

Im not a flashlight expert. I wouldnt claim to be quite as bright as any products MAG Instruments can produce, either. What I wanted was a flashlight that didnt cost $150, took standard batteries that didnt cost half as much as the flashlight, a bright LED bulb, and wouldnt 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. Its saved countless motorists, bikers and truckers from nights of dead car batteries and flat tires under the crappiest and cuss-induced conditions imaginable. Its the proper tool for the job, as far as Im concerned. You cant beat a classic, that is, unless its 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 4s. 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.

god

Excellent !

Better than previous bulb type by a huge margin.

Good light with adjustments.

This appears to be a standard three D-cell MagLite. It is emphatically not. It is the brightest flashlight I have. I do wish that it had a low intensity setting to stretch batterylife. But given the choice of bright vs dim, Ill take bright. It is beautifully made, and balances well in my hand. Really superior product, and its made right here in the USA.

A little over-awed by the size of the flashlight when it arrived. Thick and heavy with four D batteries. I really like it now. Casts nice focused beam a good distance. Feel safer walking in my poorly lit apartment complex parking lot late at night.

nice

I got this for my daughter to leave in her car for an emergency. Great light for the price
