4-Cell D Flashlight

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.

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!

Get re-chargeable batteries to use in this flashlight. My old model, which this new one replaces, the standard batteries rusted in place and could not be removed. This is a great flashlight to have!

High quality! Awesome product!

For freaking $16 you cannot beat this 4D Maglight! I wanted a 3D Maglight, but at the time it was twice the price as the 4D, it was kinda weird that it was that much more expensive, but I am Very happy I got the 4D Light! Now even though I love all Maglights and everyone else does too.. I gotta give it 4 Stars Because of the actual light they put out.. Everyone that has a Maglite. Or Looking for a Maglight, You Have to buy a Drop In LED to go into your Maglite. You will open your light and feel how big this light is, it is a big size without being Ridiculously Big. This isn't something that you would openly carry at all times or on your person often, but this is something that you could store in your Car or House and you would have a great weapon/ light.. This is a big size but not crazy, it is big enough so that you would be able to actually hurt someone with this light. It is a great size to use as a Baton, and With it's 4D Batteries Installed, it's is No Question that you could bust someone pretty hard, maybe breaking bones or cracking skulls in the process. (Which is all very dangerous, and Very Illegal unless it is self defense, protecting yourself, family, or property..) But, if you are using this as a good big flashlight, you Have to Spend $10-$15 on a Drop in LED Upgrade for the light.. You will Be very happy at the benefit of the $10-$15 LEDs over the stock bulbs.. I went ahead and bought a Terralux Drop in LED and I was very Pissed when I found out that it Would Not Fit into my Light... I don't know if it will fit most 3-4D Maglight, and it just wouldn't fit a certain year or model, But it Wouldn't Fit into my 4D Maglight UNTIL, I took a Knife and started Shaving Down slivers of the metal off of the Inner circle Lamp Retaining Cap piece that Screws On Top of the Unit (it screws the bulb unit into the flashlight to hold it in place) (It was a good thing that it was an Easy Fix, It was Just that the little Retaining piece Did Not Fit over a tiny part of the Original Bulb Unit) The New LED Unit is a wider piece overall, So when you Try and Screw it onto the Light, the Hole on Top Was Not Wide Enough to Screw Over the New LED Bulb Unit , But By Shaving the Inner Circle Out for a Little Bit, You Can Make the Hole on the Retaining Cap Piece just big Enough to fit over the New Unit, and It Will Fit Over and Screw it down into the Llight, and it will still be able to fit over the Original Bulb Unit if you ever have to switch back...!! So it's kind of a Quick fix to the Drop In LED, But You Will Be Very Happy When you Screw your Light together and Turn On Your Flashlight, you Will See A HUGE Difference with the New LED Compared to the Original Bulb.. So Finally: This 4D Maglight is an Awesome Light, the Weight and Size are Both Pros and Cons.. It is Big And Heavy Enough that You Will Not Carry This Flashlight With You Everywhere, and You Will Not Probably Use This Light as Your Primary Light Either... But.. You Will Love This Light And the Amount of Light that You Get When You Upgrade to a New LED, Even as a Weapon for Self Defense, or Home defense, it can be your main flashlight in your home or car but it's just too big to randomly carry it around..get upgraded LEDs for your Maglites and you will Love your Maglites even better!! 4 stars, but 5 stars with the Extra Drop in LED...

with all the thousands of flashlights around the MagLite has proved to last and work when needed . The is also reasonable for what it is , I hope I never see made in China on a MagLite

Somente a qualidade do led/lampada não é de boa qualidade, mas trocando ficou muito boa

articolo spettacolare. qualità eccellente.

LEDじゃ無いけど普通に明るい 買わない手は無いね

Best flashlights in my opinion. Strong, sturdy flashlights with adjustable light for flood and focused beam. I would purchase this again.

Es un producto de alta calidad, la luz es de buena intensidad, aunque las baterias que necesita son algo costosas, pero el producto vale la pena cada centavo, claro, no trae las funciones de una lámpara más costosa.
