MagLiteML300L LED 6-Cell D Flashlight, Black

Excellent light super bright and accurate

Got this for my wife who is afraid of wildlife at night around property. Good reach as a baton if you need it that way which is what i got it for. The light is bright but not like one of those thousands of lumen led lights on the market, which i didnt really need. Its properly heavy and with that length it can feel a lot heavier if you’re holding it outside its center of mass. Thats why i bought it but if youre going to use this as a normal flashlight its definitely a bit too big and wont fit in any pocket. I recommend getting some rechargable size D batteries, its always a pain to try to give life to a dying maglite with those batteries, so some rechargeability could go a long way

Love it! Also serves as a billy club, if needed.

The contact spring was rattling around in the tube. Put the spring back in the end cap. I loaded the flashlight up with 10000 mAH D cells. It is Very heavy. Carefully pressed the end cap onto the end and tightened to avoid galling the threads. (I'll probably add IDEAL Noalox to lubricate the end cap threads and contact surfaces before too many battery checks and changes.) The flashlight is very bright at full power (compared to full sunlight). Keep in mind the weight. Be careful not to drop the flashlight. The flashlight will probably survive, but the stack of D cells in the battery will not be happy since they're not wearing seat belts so to speak.

Took 3 attempts to actually get the LED version as the first two sent were the Xenon bulb model. It's great otherwise.

Maglite flash light shipped missing rubber switch cover and instructions. Ends of Maglite box missing. This appears to be a previous returned / used flashlight. Requested refund and post paid return shipping label.

This is the 6 D Cell Maglite ML300L. It's the new LED version.First the good. It is bright and fairly solid. If you want a little self protection (club) when you are out walking at night, this will do the trick. At least once. The programmable switch button is a cute feature but completely unnecessary. I would rather they kept the strength of the build and the simplicity of function of the late 1970s/early 1980s Maglites.Now the not so good. I owned a 7 D Cell Maglite from years ago that is out of production. That was a solid heavy flashlight you could drop off a roof and it would work. I upgraded it with an LED bulb to increase the brightness. Unfortunately, it went missing. This new 6 D Cell Maglite is not nearly as heavy duty or drop resistant as the old version in my opinion. I'd be scared to drop this one. Nor will it likely accept as much abuse as the original. And, unfortunately, they don't make 7 D Cell Maglites anymore.Things have become cheaper made over the years. It's a shame. But at least they are still made in the USA.

Light showed up when it said it was going to. The light performs better than I thought.
