Maglite Boxed 3D Cell Flashlight Black

Product Information

Runtime with medium power mode is approximately 12 hours with 4D cells. Power consumption of approximately 3 watts producing approximately 350 lumens Lithium primary batteries, such as Energizer Advanced or Ultimate Lithium, are more expensive, but last longer than alkaline, perform better in cold temperatures, do not leak, and are approximately 1/3 lighter than the average alkaline. The voltages of these batteries are also slightly higher, which leads to increased output compared to alkaline. Maglite XL50: This is a simpler version of the XL100, featuring three modes that can be activated with consecutive presses of the tailcap switch. The XL50 will have a lower retail price than the XL100. The torch will always come preset in function set #1 (general). To change to a different function set simply unscrew the tail cap until the torch no longer turns on, pause for two seconds and then hold down the switch. While still holding down the switch, tighten the tail cap until fully tight and the torch will start to blink after four seconds, the number of blinks indicates the function set. To select the desired set, wait until the torch has done the required amount of blinks (e.g. four blinks for function set #4 Tactical), and then release the switch. Runtime with high power mode is approximately 5 hours with 4 D cells. Power use of approximately 9 watts producing approximately 1200 lumens.

D and C battery models are put on the market; targeted to the public safety and industrial sectors (the 5C, 6C, 7C and 7D models are out of production)

Longer battery life results from the circuit built into the unit which completely utilizes the power from the batteries, whilst maintaining constant light output. You just want to use it for emergencies! (This is great because the ‘drop-ins’ that increase battery life are cheap) It is designed with a solid polished metal reflector and heat sinking to allow for improved optics and heat dissapation. This bulb will transform your Maglite into a ultra high performance, reliable, energy efficient torch making it the perfect choice for professionals. D-cell lights with the Luxeon III will have a spare incandescent bulb in the tail cap. For the Luxeon Rebel models, the tail cap is not very interesting and consists of only a spring. Testing the practical beam distance of the ML300l D-4. Left: Searching for owls at 70 to 90 meters. Middle: Shining the beam across an open field to neighboring hill, 415 meters away. Right: Ponting beam down a straight section of road with multiple reflective reflective features, 576 meters. Bradley Ford

The V4 was released with a newly developed electronic switch enabling a Multi Mode operation and a slightly more powerful bulb producing an output of 245 Lumens. We went out at midnight, on a moonless night, and directed the ML300L at various points we could measure to determine practical, useful beam distance. We used the flashlight to search for owls in trees on a rural property and found we could clearly see individual branches illuminated at distances of 70 to 90 meters. We did not see any owls, but that was more a function of the chattering of the five-year old accompanying us. Next we went to an open field. Shining the light across it, we could just make out the hill where the neighboring property starts, 415 meters away. On a straight section of road with no traffic lights, we found we could identify the outlines of shapes like trees, bushes, and buildings at a distance of 576 meters. It was our impression that reflective signs, lines on the road, and the road itself reflected light that might have extended beam distance. All of the LED Maglites are regulated, which means that as the batteries are depleted and voltage drops, more current is drawn from the batteries to offset the lower voltage, resulting in consistent brightness until the batteries are completely depleted.Maglite released an LED version of the MagCharger. Features a 680 lumen output and spot-to-flood beam with a quarter turn of the head. Claimed 4 hrs of battery life on a full charge at full power. Other specs are as the Incandescent Version. [4] This LED upgrade, has 3 power modes of low medium and high. Please see picture comparision images below to see the relative peformance levels The light produced will only dim near the end of the batteries' lifetime. It only gradually fades, not a sudden drop out of light A light’s beam, no matter how bright, won’t do you any good if the bulb or other critical components fail. We wanted to make sure the ML300 withstood its 1-meter rating. To test it, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommends dropping the light six times at difference angles, so that's what we did. Maglite 2D pro 274 Lumens with a Cree XP-G rather than a Cree XP-E, increasing brightness while decreasing beam distance efficiency.

While the 2AA includes two alkaline batteries and the instructions specify that only alkaline batteries should be used, it is not recommended to use alkaline batteries. The reasoning behind this is that no matter the brand, alkaline batteries can and will leak! If the light is stored in extreme conditions, such as in the glove box of a car, the chances of leakage are much higher. Instead, lithium primaries or low self-discharge (LSD) NiMH rechargeable batteries are better alternatives. On March 30, 2007, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that they would be switching to a smaller, lighter LED flashlight that cannot be used as a baton, in response to a highly publicized incident where an officer was accused of using excessive force against a suspect by using a Maglite. [6] Gallery [ edit ]The Takeaway: Maglite’s latest gives you the right amount of light for almost any situation, is manufactured in America, and offers legendary durability. It is interesting to note, that although we tested in a somewhat rural area, there were neighbors within reach of the ML300L's powerful beam of light. While directing the light at various objects, we realized we had to take care to avoid shining it on houses and windows—lest someone think we were up to no good.

The Maglite ML300L 3 D cell torch has the same timeless design of the original 3 D torch, and has now been updated to 746 lumens output on the highest setting using LED technology. In August, Maglite announced several new models including an LED version of the Solitaire, a Mini Maglite LED 2 AAA and a new version of the 2D LED termed the 2D LED Pro promising a beam in excess of 200 Lumens. Easy to fit, just a matter of replacing the original reflector and bulb with the high power LED upgrade For those with incandescent Maglites, Maglite offers a 3W drop-in LED upgrade for the 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell C or D lights, which uses the Luxeon III LED. This upgrade is being discontinued due to the older LED used, but there are aftermarket upgrades (including some with the Luxeon Rebel LED) available from manufacturers such as TerraLUX. For Mini Maglites, there are no OEM upgrades, but TerraLUX and Nite-Ize make 1W LED upgrades that will certainly improve the light’s usefulness.New for this winter (2020/21) is the TTS-ULT10MM with the Luminus SST-40-W LED as apposed to previously with the Cree XM-L2 LED. This LED conversion now produces approximately 1200 lumens plus with the high power mode.
