Maglite Mini Incandescent 2-Cell AA Flashlight, Red

We've had a series of mag-lites over the years and have used them for home repairs in dark places (under the house, under the kitchen sink, in the attic), barn chores, car breakdowns, investigating strange noises in the house in the wee hours, and even once when we lost the house keys in the grass at night (the bright light made the keys reflect and we found them!). They're inexpensive, reliable, water-resistant, small enough to keep in a coat pocket, and run on AA batteries. They're perfect for so many jobs, and are so durable. Once in a while we lose one or give one to someone who doesn't return it, but I don't think we've ever broken one. I bought this M2A016 MAGLITE to replace one we lost, and it's every bit as good as the previous ones. The light is bright and long-lasting, and the beam can be focused down to a small area when needed. But the main reason I'm giving this light 5 stars is because it's made in the USA. We try to support American businesses when we can, and I was happy to find that this model is made here.

Great flashlight

This mini Maglite is compact, sturdy, and bright enough for everyday use. Perfect for keeping in a drawer, glove box, or emergency kit. The build quality is solid and it feels durable. Great little flashlight!

I've been using this size and brand for over a decade. You will need scissors to open the packaging. The flashlight is easy to assemble. It has a strong light, despite its small size. It is light weight and easy to fit in a purse, glove compartment, drawer, etc. I've never been successful at replacing the little bulb, but the purchase of a new item after over 10 years of use is not so bad.

Even though this is an incandescent Maglite it's still a reliable flashlight. You can update the bulb with an LED replacement. Rule of thumb, do not store with the batteries installed.

pERFECT FOR LIGHT SOURCE IN BACK OF PANTRY

I love this travel sized flashlight! It's the perfect size to keep in your glove box, purse, or take it camping. Cell phone flash lights aren't always appropriate. The battery compartment also has a spare light bulb nested in the cap! The flashlight itself is made from durable metal, much better than cheap plastic. The light beam is also adjustable from a directed beam to a more diffuse light that illuminates a larger area. You can also remove the cover over the bulb, and the flashlight works like a flameless candle, lighting up a whole room, car interior, or tent. Maglites last decades, they are a reliable made in the USA brand, still made in the USA. Great purchase! Definitely recommend having one on hand for emergencies!

Not a bright or far-reaching as they used to be.

Good gift and delivery

The color is fantastic and the build is legendary as with all maglites, however this is the incandescent version and is not anywhere near as bright as the LED version ( add $25 to the price for the LED version ). I find that for most things like working behind TV's or on soundboards and etc you can't go wrong. I know everyone's cell has a flashlight app on it but it drains your cell life quickly so if you need a flashlight for things like looking around your entertainment center or finding something in the back of a tool box or vehicle, or even looking under the hood / vehicle then you can't go wrong. They are tough, work well, last for ever ( I still have my first one from 20+ years ago ) feel good in your hand AND inexpensive compared to the LED lights. AA batteries are not very expensive and are used all around your house now. If you don't need to light up a football stadium or see for miles then this light works great. Sometimes the LED lights are way too bright for stage and sound work or when you don't want to light up the whole theater but just the area you are working in. They throw the light plenty far for every day use!

There is 5 star straight away for the built quality. So, I got this torch, thinking it's gonna be super cool. But turns out, it's kinda old-school with a twist to turn it on. The light it gives, not so great. There's this dark spot in the middle, even when I try to make it sharp. Feels like those torches from a long time ago, not like the fancy LED ones nowadays. My mistake, I thought it was LED when I bought it. If you like old school feel go for it.

Excellent value for money, maglite torch. Excellent quality & durability. Bright light. Zoom feature excellent. Battery life good. Nice & light to hold & carry.

They were shipped up here (Canada) in 9 days. Fast shipping. It's nice to have a back-up Mag Light around the house.
