Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Universal Camo

Yes it is big and strong. But it is not as bright as it should be! The little Mini Mag light is almost as bright. I just now had one in each hand with new batteries. I DO love the simple on/off button. On, or off. no pressing the button 4 times to skip thru some stupid blinking mode.

Occasionally I have to work late hours in places that dont allow firearms. Blunt objects dont really fill the gap, but its a lot better than nothing. The 3 D-cell is heavy enough to do the job, yet compact enough to swing fast. Its easily stowed in a backpack until I head out to the parking lot to go home. Went for the LED because its bright enough to temporarily blind someone and has better battery life. Makes me laugh when people complain about the size and weight of D-Cell Maglites. For most of us who own them thats the whole point. Yes, I have small LEDs that will out perform it, but they wont knock out a crackhead. Not into camo, but I knew it would be 3rd generation LED so I can live with it. Update (11/22/13) Flashlight still going strong and serving me well.

Everyone knows Maglites are amazing. This one has a really cool camouflage color scheme and is very bright. Good for when youre throwing trash in the alley and the neighbors chihuahua whos always allowed to roam the neighborhood tries to start a fight. Ill turn the light on him and he runs away scared. If he ever builds up the courage to come at me despite the light in his face, ill test the sturdy design to nudge the little guy back.

I did a side by side with my terraLUX TLE-6EX in a older 4D maglite. Just as bright with a blueish hue. This is good deal as I paid $15 or so for the terraLUX bulb. I like the digi camo and fits right in with other bug out gear, any hunter or person who respects the mossy oak/camo look will appreciate this. I can check on my barn from my house and it is 300+ feet away with out a problem. I know I can get a better LED flash light with rechargeable batteries and 500+ lumens, but for $25 this is solid addition to my junk drawer. This is a great gift to anyone. A lot of people overlook buying a decent flash light and they regret it when they find the old plastic one with the iridescent bulb.

Good: 1. Quality of the build is excellent. Body is made of aluminium or some similar metal. 2. I luv the camo design. It is unique and is a conversation starter in a group. 3. Very bright LED and the focus can be adjusted by twisting the head. 4. The serrated body helps with having a good grip in your hands. Not So Good: 1. The battery cover was very difficult to close as the spring tension is very high. 2. Not available in 2D size. The 3D size is good but it is longer and heavier so your hands will get tired fast. Overall it is a great product.

OK this thing is pretty nutty! Great adjustable light beam, LED so it seems like the battery will last a long time (havent had to change them yet, but its been light use so far). And the brightness...wow. So fun to play with! I took it to a corn maze with my fiancée and teens a few lanes over thought it was a spotlight when I first turned it on pointed into the sky!

I have owned probably a dozen Maglites over the years. The full size lights hold up very well. In fact I still use most of them. This one takes a colorful leap into the world of military colors. The digital camo is nice - I get tired of everything offered to LEO being tactical black . Thanks for a great product Maglite!

The quality of a mag lite always brings me back to them. This flashlight is by far the brightest and longest lasting of many flashlights I own. The only possible improvement would be to make a floating version of this one.

Ive been using Maglites for almost 30yrs. The only problem Ive ever had was, I loaned one of the 2-AA models to a buddy, he liked it so much, he never gave it back. My sons were telling me about the newer LED models. I was a little skeptical at first, so I bought the 2-AA model. Was very impressed with the results, so I ordered this one. Very happy with my purchase. Quick shipping from Amazon. Maglite has never had to New & Improve their basic design, because they got it right the first time. Simple and durable. Keep an eye on how long the batteries have been in and DONT loan them out.

I am Army Combat Vet and I expect 100% quality at a fair price! Thats what this is... I threw the batteries in as soon as I got opened the package. turned on that night and I expected a high quality Maglite and I got it..! No fuss, great quality and at a great PRICE!!! Tough, durable, strong light and water resistant... You can get this, with the competition out there but at a much higher COST!!! Buy Maglite!!! and no, I am not a salesman for the company...
