- Dim bulb-eater
- After hearing all of the tales of mag-aa durability,etc.I'm extremely disappointed,the aa model is very dim compared to the more modern personal lights I own.It isnt a dependable light at all,after one 2 foot drop to a carpeted floor the bulb blew out.I replaced the bulb with the spare,and it blew out when I put fresh batteries in .My recommendation is buy one of the new l.e.d personal lights-no bulbs to burn out,longer battery life,much better beam quality,lighter and more dependable.

- Old Technology, and not particularly good at that..
- I can't believe that Maglites are still considered quality lights these days.
Sure, they were pretty good 10 years or so ago. But what's changed? The Mini Maglites I've owned have always had the same problems - bulbs which go pop and fail if the light experiences any kind of shock - or sometimes for no reason at all. And that dim, yellow, uneven excuse for a beam of light.
It'd be nice if Mag produced a light which you could actually *rely* on to work when you needed it, rather than this outdated rubbish.
I've since found far more reliable, brighter, and generally better lights from other makers such as Streamlight.
There are lots of lights out there which are miles ahead of Maglites in every category. - 2003-07-15, 3 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Withstands fire!
- We were standing around a campfire several years ago and someone asked to look at my husband's Mini Mag Lite. When our friend was returning it, we joked, "Don't throw it in the fire!" Well, guess what? His toss was a little short, and into the fire the Mag Lite went. As we stood there trying to figure out how what to do next, the Mag Lite simmered in the hot coals. When we finally extracted it from the fire, my husband turned on the switch, and to our utter amazement, it still worked! Sure, the plastic disc at the end was completely melted away, but the metal casing was totally intact and the flashlight still worked perfectly! How many flashlights can do that??

- Great little flashlight
- When three tornadoes hit my boarding school, I came to realize the importance of a flashlight (which I didnt have at the time, unfortunately). Realizing my error in not owning such an essential item, I immediately went to the store and bought one. My family has owned (and lost) numerous flashlights, and our Mag lite are by far the best flashlights we've ever owned. Some flashlights go on and off as the battery jiggles around, die as soon as you drop them, or just aren't made to live long. Mag lites are definitely NOT these flashlights! My mini Maglite has been dropped, kicked, stomped, squished, thrown, everything... and it still works great! It's three years old now and still works like it did on day one. It doesn't suck batteries dry, which is definitely a plus, and the light is constant. It doesn't flicker on and off if teh battery somehow shakes. I love how you can change the beam to cover a large area or focus in on a small area. It's great for late night reading in the dorm rooms. Now I even own a small MagLite Solitaire for my keychain. It's very small but just as powerful. Altogether, a great little flashlight and an excellent price.

- Buy one forever
- I got one of these little like 1980-something. I still have the same one, it still works great with only changing bulbs and batteries throughout the years. It has been practically everywhere with me and always worked.
These flashlights are campact, bright, durable and focusable. I've dropped mine, tossed mine, even used it as a hammer once or twice. Got it wet, cold and generally yucky. Still works great. The only way this won't be the last flashlight you'll ever buy is if you do what I did, finally get a bigger Mag-Lite a few years ago for those times when I want more light.
These have to be the best-supported flashlights on the planet. How many other flashlights have so many accessories available for them and have been copied so frequently? You won't be sorry.
