ML25LT-S2016 LED 2-Cell C Flashlight, Black

Perfect size flashlight for general use. I got fed up with Duracell flashlights that constantly were dead when I went to use them due to parasitic drain (caused by their button switch), so I bought this, and it sits on my kitchen countertop ready for use. It could be improved a bit like why is it perfectly round so as soon as you sit it down it rolls away? Plus, it could use a bit of increase in brightness to 300 lumens from its 192 lumens. I think 300 is the sweet spot as ensures a good working brightness while giving you good battery life. All-in-all a great light and I will get another once they increase the lumens a bit. UPDATE: 21July2025 - It's true! These flashlights work with low strength batteries even though they are LED. I just checked and my batteries are reading 1.48V on both of my 'C' cell batteries - yet - the flashlight is still functioning. I'm buying another one for the truck.

Bright and work extremely well

Great flashlight.... sturdy and not too big... great light!

This is the classic 3-Cell D Maglite flashlight that you see cops and security folks frequently using. These used to be indestructible. I had the same maglite 15 years ago and used to leave it in my car and even hammer things with it. One year I left it in a trunk all winter and the batteries blew up. I pried the batteries out and rinsed it with water and wiped it out good and it still worked fine. I gave it to a relative. Back to this flashlight, it feels the same quite durable. Still waterproof and solid. I think without the batteries the metal case feels a little lighter than it used to be. It has been upgraded with LED lights which are CRAZY BRIGHT! I can confirm it is Still water proof. I ordered the 3-cell C battery version first by accident. It was way to small so I immediately returned and reordered the 3-D. This is definitely not a pocket flashlight, but if you need a solid sturdy versatile flashlight around I feel like this can't be beat! Solid flash light

UPDATE: After using this light for a few months, I'm even happier with it than when I first got it. It's not too big and not too small, not too heavy and not too light - it's just right! I'll probably buy one more for myself and maybe give a couple as gifts. I wound up with a bunch of C-cell batteries and couldn't give them away. So the only other reasonable thing to do was buy a flashlight that could use them. This is a great light, built with the quality and durability MagLite is known for. It's very bright, easy to switch on and focus. I'd thought of buying the 2-cell version, but thought it might be a little small and I think I was right. This one feels like just the right size and weight. I have older D-cell MagLites with incandescent bulbs and they're great, but a little heavy. This one will probably become my "go-to" larger flashlight - the one I'll use when I'm not using one of my pocket-sized lights! (Geeze, I really need to get out more.... :) )

Very reliable. The other reviewers are right about this item. Easy to use, very bright, adjustable, quality for the price. Stand alone capability. Recommended.

Mag-lites are worth the money. The upgrade to LEC lights is great. Light is bright and in spotlight adjustment is far reaching. With the use of the white cone, it gives you a great small lantern. I have been using Mag-lites for about 40 years and they keep getting better.

Perfect size. I've owned two of the D cells for years. I'm a Maglite guy.

Perfect

Great torch, small, well made and seriously bright.

Like it good for a baby torch that works. No buttons screw and obviously 2 c batteries that you may be able to steal off the wife apparently there use lithium ion batteries now ?? Anyway decent

Hervorragende Leuchteigenschaften. Strahlt extrem weit ins Gelände

Good product for everyday use.
