## Description

desertcart.com Bright lights, burly cases, fail-safe on/off switches, virtual indestructibility: there are good reasons to rave about Mag Instrument flashlights. Powered by 3 D-cell batteries, the bright, powerful light adjusts from spot to flood simply by rotating the head. The light is housed in a case made of high-strength aluminum alloy that has been anodized inside and out. This, along with high-quality O-rings at both openings, give you water- and shock-resistance in a lightweight package. Maglite's switches are rubber-coated, weather-protected, and self-cleaning-they're virtually indestructible. In short, this flashlight is almost indestructible-a good quality when it comes to the tools re rely on to help you find your way in the dark. Limited lifetime warranty. Requires 3 D-cell batteries (not included). Includes spare bulb (stored in end-cap). If you want the same design in a smaller package or if you want more run-time than 3 D-cells will give you, see Mag Instrument products #S2D016 and #S4D016.--Josh DettweilerWhat's in the BoxFlashlight, spare bulb Product Description Maglite heavy-duty incandescent 3-cell D FLASHLIGHT, Black. Advanced lighting instrument made in America and built tough enough to last a lifetime with a spare lamp safely secured in the tail cap making it suitable for camping, climbing, fishing, hunting, etc.

Review: Great quality. - When you pick up this flashlight you can feel the build quality. I like that is uses traditional batteries instead of rechargeable lithium ion. Worth every penny. Its bright enough for normal use and the battery life seems good. I like the adjustable light diameter which is easy to use.
Review: Maglites just keep giving! But their bulbs just suck! - I've owned MagLites all my life and have experimented with smaller LED torches, however just dont find that they feel as secure as the trusty olé MagLite! The Maglites are functional as they either take AAA, AA, C or D size batteries and luckily these batteries are readily available! These batteries especially the larger batteries add quiet a lot of weight to the torch alone and do make the torch much much heavier than anything else I own. However this weight is a quality that non other can reproduce! The aluminium that Mag entrust is of aircraft quality and I have had not one issue with corrosion or failure of the threads or body parts. The latest Mag I purchased is the 2D Incandescent in Gray, and the standard bulb was the first thing to be thrown (not even kept as a spare!) thats how bad the light output is. These were replaced with the NiteIze LED upgrade bulbs, the 1Watt as the main light and the poorer performance bulb as the spare in the tail cap. The Maglite now has slightly better performance, 'slightly being' whiter light with possibly 20% more distance but still suffers the black hole issue with the reflector as you adjust. The LED upgrade gives you about 3 times more battery life and is just a good all round upgrade compared to the incandescent bulb, I have even tried other bulbs that promise 'whiter' light to no avail! The torch still has the generic rubber switch, I wish Maglite would change this to a metal switch like on the tailcap's on a Led Lenser, the rubber eventually perishes and I have to constantly nourish it with silicone spray to stop it drying out. Otherwise the button assembly is bomb proof and I have never had any issues with it ever. The threads and fitting of the head (reflector) and the tail-cap, both have large rubber gaskets and very well machined threads. From factory there seems to be a 'bee spit's' worth of lubrication, so I wipe that off and put on a good quality PTFE based grease on the threads and some silicone spray on the gaskets to condition them. I find that there is a better water resistance created when I do this to my Mag's. Overall, the product is presented flawlessly. The Mag's anodizing (both exterior and interior on all parts) is beautiful and exterior kerneling is perfect. I wish that MagLite Industries would come out with optional accessories like a window breaker bezel or tail cap and some better optics that hug the bulb better that would reduce the 'black hole' issue, also a tempered glass / UV filtered bulb glass in the head. Some of these options or upgrades would make a Maglite more personalised and sentimental. Otherwise the Maglite is something that you buy once and just maintain it for years, keep it clean and serviceable and keep an eye on your batteries that they're not leaking and it will look after you when its needed!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Ours has a 'black" spot in the middle of the light.   Any idea how to fix this - a new bulb???**
A: The way to get rid of the black spot is to take thehead of the flashlight completely off and adjust the small light housing. I way this can take hours of doing this till you get rid of the black spot. When you do get it done, you'll be impressed with the solid circle. But it can hours or even a few days to get it right. Hope this helps.

**Q: Hello, which mag-lite type mainly used by the us police in the 80s and 90s, the 3d cell or the  4d cell? thanks**
A: It depends on the department’s policies.  Back in the day, there were a few cases of police flashlight vs perpetrator’s head, so a few departments restricted them to the 3 or even the 2- cell versions, shying away from the 4-cell beast.  At that time, Streamlite was coming on strong with LEO’s (Law Enforcement Officers)  by providing a lighter weight, tough plastic rechargeable flashlight with a Krypton bulb (brighter).

**Q: Is it water resistant?**
A: Yes. According to the manufacturer's information, the flashlight complies with the Water-Resistant (IPX4) protocol

**Q: how do you change the batterys**
A: This flashlight does not change rechargeable batteries.  Rechargeable batteries may be used in it, but they will have to be removed from the flashlight and recharged separately in whatever charger device the battery manufacturer recommends.
