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

Highly suggest utilizing in any home and or vehicle.

Excellent product!

I wanted a survival flashlight, a flashlight for spotting animals in the forest at night, and a light that was bright enough to signal air traffic up in the sky. This light is bright enough for all these purposes. It also has endless battery life. I used it for 2 weeks on an off and the batteries were still fully charged. The batteries have lasted 4 months now, of on and off usage and are still fully charged. The big selling point of this light is that it is extremely bright very white, piercing light. Its a perfect balance of brightness and battery life. I would not want it any brighter, because it is more important that your flash light be fully charged and ready to use, otherwise it wont serve its purpose in case of an emergency. The thing about flash lights is you never know when you will need one, they are mostly used for emergencies, or unplanned events, and they also spend a lot of time sitting on a shelf. You want a flash light that has tremendous, ridiculously long battery life. I searched all the flash lights they sell at Walmart, or in most stores, and this flashlight has the longest battery life of any comparable light. Dont listen to anyone saying its not bright. Yes, you can get a brighter light, but those super bright lights that use AA or AAA batteries - they are totally absolutely useless because they may seem brighter, but they go dead so fast you never get a chance to use them! This light is perfectly bright (anymore brightness would not be necessary for a hand held light. In my opinion if this light isnt bright enough for you, then it means you will need to switch to a stationary 120 volt work light or a 12 volt style light, and a simple flash light wont work for you anyway.) For hunting UFOs and aliens, ghosts, or big foot, this is your light. You can click the button on and off rapidly to do Morse code signals to communicate with any non human potential life forms. Or you can use this flash light for self defense. Ive owned dozens of flash lights. I will be buying about 4 more of these for everyone in my family. This light is great for carrying, and as a companion, check out the Sportsman 90 hour rated - 3D battery - LED lantern by Rayovac, a small hand held lantern, which also has exceptional limitless battery life. I own both lights, and havent bought batteries since. This is the only Maglite to buy, the larger ones have poor battery life, and only marginal differences in light output. The smaller lights have the same brightness but no battery life!

Good grip, bright light

My 20yr old Maglite died due to leaking batteries so this new one is better being LED

Bought for daughter to carry in her truck

Ive got the 3-cell D battery version. At 10 long, its both the biggest and heaviest flashlight I own by a fair bit. Its also the only one which still uses D batteries instead of CR123A or 18650 as the primary power source. Its knurled metal attached to knurled metal and feels like it will last forever. The light output doesnt seem any better than a lot of my small lights. In fact, it has an annoying dark spot in the center of the beam. On the other hand, its made in the USA and can be used as a bat in a pinch, so it stays.

With the LED bulb long bright light

Very powerful, at least 2 to 3 times brighter than my regular 4D maglite with new batteries. The beam of light can be focused to make a TUNNEL of light instead of a FUNNEL of light like the regular maglite. Light extremely white, Im very very impressed and satisfied.

The only kind of flashlight I will ever buy
