- Looks cool nd useful too
- Got this on time and I bought 2. one for my dad and 1 for my brother in law. I am sure theyll love it. It is pretty strong and the power of the light is also v.good. Good brand to trust on.

- Lightweight and tough, be sure to pack one
- I've been hiking and camping for 24 years now, and I have used many, many flashlights. Since finding the AA Mini Mag Lite, however, it's the only one you'll find in my pack. They are very tough and durable. On a recent trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, I even used it submerged to look for a fellow camper's eyeglasses that had fallen into the lake. While it is not designed for underwater use (being only water resistant), the lamp performed flawlessly.
While nearly perfect, I will recommend picking up the accessory pack available for the AA Mini Mag Lite. The accessory pack includes a rubber cover for the lens end that helps prevent the lamp from rolling and also absorbs some impact if dropped. It also includes a wrist strap with a split ring so you can keep it close at hand (I usually put the strap around my wrist when I slide into my sleeping bag--if I need to get up quickly during the night, the lamp is always at hand). The accessory pack also includes three plastic lenses--blue, red, and clear (the product description lists an amber lens in palce of the clear one). I've found the red one useful when I want to rummage through a pack when my tentmate has already turned in for the night. It gives you illumination that is not as harsh as the non-filtered white light. - 2006-06-14, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- This Mag Lite is just the right size to carry along if you have to travel through a poorly lit area to get to your car at night!

- Perfect, but not LED. Yet.
- To start, I'm a tradesmen who has to carry his lifelines on his belt. Not only on the job, but I'm also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex. Every time I even move to take my workbelt off, it seems to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall saying something is on fire or won't open all the way. And the Mini Mag is the universal flashlight. It's sold everywhere, including this fine site and even family stores, and despite its legendary quality and design, is at the most ten dollars with included holster. I prefer the classic AA design, where CAN'T you find AAs? I've used one of these on my belt for about four years. It's an excellent tool, and I've never had one wear out on me. The bulbs, however, are the Achilles heel. The rest of the flashlight is military, police and trade quality, for civilian price. But these dang bulbs go orange after a couple weeks and last a couple months of casual use. I was considering shelling out forty bucks for a small LED, just to save the money on bulbs.
Then, walking through a sports outlet, I passed the flashlight section. And next to the usual Mini Mag with holster, which I own close to six of, was a Nite Ize accessory designed for this same flashlight. An LED bulb. Now, I've seen these online for about twenty to thirty bucks, and this is a ten dollar flashlight! But this one just sitting around on a shelf was eight bucks, about a buck less than the flashlight's shelf price. What the heck, I got one. To quote another review, my trusty old Mag is now a state-of-the-art torch, with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb. And LEDs, as all Mag-haters know, don't burn out or even go out when bumped.
So, for a total of twenty bucks, you get an American-quality LED beam that competes and plain out whips fifty-dollar imports with plastic casings. I wouldn't recomend this flashlight if there wasn't there was a way to fix its biggest flaw. Just get your hands on this LED adapter, and put it in like you would the standard bulb. Replace the mirror reflector, and stomp the old bulbs into powder. You won't be needing them, ever again. There's also a combo pack availiable, for the same price, that includes a push-button adapter if you've ever wished you could tap a red button on the end instead of twisting it on and off. I haven't tried it, but it comes with the LED, and for eight bucks?
And hey, the flashlight itself comes in six different colors. These things are easily replaced if one gets banged up or your room-mate/girlfriend draws all over it with Sharpie while she's on the phone. I've had these work perfectly even whenhe asing hs been through Hades and back, but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight. Just take the LED out and put it in the new one, those bulbs last forever. And now, so will this flashlight. - 2005-11-13, 11 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
