      Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

      I have owned two of these MagLite LED lights, and both of them suffered from the same problem: After turning the flashlight on, the light would flicker and then go off. Nothing that I tried (changing batteries, checking the connectors, etc.) would correct the problem. Traditionally, MagLite products have been of high quality, but a defect like this is unacceptable. I would hope that MagLite has since corrected this problem and that newer lights don't suffer from it. Otherwise, I would not recommend this light. This would be a decent light at a modest price were it not for this defect.

        Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

        I have two of these and will get some more for around the house. It has good battery life then it goes off, replace 2 batteries and you good again. This is not like you old Maglite that would go slowly dim. I use this light daily at work and trust as the only light that I bring canoeing in the BWCA. You will not be left in the dark with this flashlight.

        Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

        Purchased for an adventure race during night hours. Since it was not clear from reading the packaging or the company website on how long would the light stay on on regular alkaline batteries, I tested it, and found that it did not last more than two hours. Another disappointment when comparing the flashlight with another LED light was that when rotating the head to change the focus of the beam, there were dark concentric circles when setting the flashlight to project a more diffuse and wide beam. Generally speaking, I find that competitors have better products. Even the optics element, the lenses, could have been made better, but it feels "old technology". To make things worse, the company website does not mention at all the average battery time or any test result what so ever (other competitor product websites do show instead). In fact, the fact that the light bulb is showingly advertised to be a 3-Watt bulb is misleading in making the customer believe that it will shine more light than a 1-Watt product, when instead, in my comparison test, the 1-Watt competing product shined more light at both close and far distances. BTW, the fact that the beam is adjustable means that I expect the product to provide some kind of lenses/opticts to divert the light in more of a wide angle, but the way this product does it seems to filter away light resulting with a darker output. From a friend who owns the same light but with a battery casing to hold 3 AA (instead of 2) and uses recharcheable batteries instead of regular alkaline, I got that his light output lasts more than two hours.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

        Mag lites are decent flash lights, there durable, but very "old school". After purchasing my Surefire flash light, I will NEVER buy any other flashlight brand, there more durable, brighter, smaller, basically one level up from a Mag lite, if you want something better invest into a surefire.

        Yes I would recommend this but only if you cannot afford a surefire

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

          They are very durable and very waterproof.
          I've put mine thru the wash a couple times; no problem.

          You can use it as a lantern too; unscrew the lens, flip it, and insert the bottom of the handle into it to use it as a base. Now you have a lantern.

          I'm really smitten by the new LED headlamps available today... but when it comes to a flashlight, this is all I'll get.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          it was the best flashlight i had ever owned, until it happened. my friends and i where looking at each others flashlights and then one of them took off the top of the light. and he bent the bulb with it. i couldn't find a extra bulb anywhere so i just got another one. there the best you can buy till somebody messes around. PS if you want to buy this flashlight buy it but dont adjust the light so the bulb bends =)

            Comments about MagLite Mini Maglite LED 2-AA Flashlight:

            I received this as a Christmas present and it has been in my purse ever since. I'm a huge fan of headlamps while backpacking and camping, but I decided I wanted a brighter light with a focused beam that I could easily direct where I needed it - and this fit the bill perfectly. I used it during a recent power outage, I use it find things in a dark car and it will come with me on every camping and backpacking trip even though it doesn't qualify as "ultralight." This is weight I'll gladly suck up.

              It's a great little light, belt holster keeps it right at my side when I need it. Powerful enough to use to explore little caves, yet the adjustable beam makes it useful for reading maps or star charts. The light holds a replacement bulb in the cap for convenience, great for backpacking. Sturdiest flashlight I've ever owned, I've dropped it while it was on and it never missed a beat. Really simple on off control and beam adjustment. A must for your hiking repertoire or emergency kit.
