Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Universal Camo

I have to say this is the best flashlight I have ever had. I bought this flashlight over a year ago and use it quite often. The light still shines as bright as it did on day one; and it is indeed a bright light. And, I have yet to replace the batteries. Sure, one could get the more expensive Streamlight or Pelican flashlights, but with this Maglite you are getting an absolute bargain. It's worth twice the price (or more). Maglite quality is there, just like the old days when America and Americans took pride in the things we made. I sure do miss those old days when we produced quality products at a great price that lasted forever. I am proud to say that Maglite still makes those times of American-made, quality, old-school products in this day and age.My only real complaint would be the "black hole" it produces. I don't know why this cannot be solved, especially since I have cheaper flashlights that do not have a black hole. I will not deduct any stars for this as this is such a great product, and in doing so would be dishonest.Long live the Maglite flashlight. And God bless the USA.• UPDATE! (5.15.2020): I have had this flashlight for almost 6 years now, and I have not yet changed the batteries! No joke. The light is just as bright as it was when I 1st took it out of the box. As a side note, I own another Maglite (incandescent bulb) since the 90's. I have not changed the batteries on that one either! It also STILL works as good as new! Maglite is THE BEST FLASHLIGHT out there, bar none!!!•• UPDATE! (6.28.2024) TEN YEAR REVIEW: As I am writing this, I’ve had this flashlight for over 10 years now (bought June 24, 2014). I have had ZERO issues with it, with the exception of the button, as it has fallen off a few times. I think I may have changed out the batteries maybe twice (thrice?), making this torch very efficient indeed. I’ve dropped it, carried it in my truck, scratched it, etc. Still keeps going. The light emitted is nearly flawless, and lights up everything in its range. And, if all else fails, this Maglite can be used as a weapon.I’m sure you can spend way more money on other brands which emit many more lumens - but why? I spent a grand total of $27.42 on this product. Do you really need that much more light? Too bad it has gone up in price. This thing is an American-made heirloom that is simply indestructible!Oh, on another side note... as before, since the last review… I still have not changed out the batteries of my old incandescent bulb Maglite! Ever. Not once. And, it still works!SIMPLY. THE. BEST.U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!

The 3 D-cell LED Maglite in digital camo finish is a great flashlight. Workmanship and material quality is outstanding for a budget D-cell flashlight (the flashlight is made in the USA). The design is well conceived, well executed and intuitive.The digital camo design -- it looks pixelated -- is very cool looking and appears to be wear resistant; this is an attractive flashlight and the product photo does not do it justice.Although the outdated packaging suggested that my flashlight was a previous (2nd) generation version, the flashlight is actually the latest (3rd) generation as can be determined by the Cree XP-E LED mounted on a green PCB and clearly labeled "484". The upgraded LED gives the flashlight a throw of 364 meters at 131 lumens according to newer Maglite packaging.With three good D-cell alkalines, battery life should be about 79 hours according to the updated packaging (tested under ANSI rules). That's well over three days of continuous usage.The flashlight is built solidly and is a formidable club when filled with three alkaline batteries.The price is very reasonable for such a high quality flashlight. In fact, the price is lower than many Chinese-made products of lower quality.Getting the milled aluminum end cap on the flashlight can be tricky because the interior spring is very strong. Maglite installed such a strong string in order to keep the heavy batteries in place so that the flashlight doesn't flicker off through the bumps that occur under normal use.The attractive Maglite 3-D Cell LED flashlight in the camo finish is an outstanding product at a great price.

I received this order at noon today or just before noon to be exact.I was greatly surprised due to the speed considering that this is an international delivery and only last Saturday night I tracked it and it is still in the US.I have not opened it yet I plan to check it out this evening.It looks very nice and while I have not tried it yet based on my previous Maglite flashlight I think this one would also be as excellent if not better since this one is LED and would be brighter than one with a krypton bulb.I give only four stars because the length is not 14.72 inches as specified when I measured it.Anyway I was really delighted by the speed of the delivery and hope this would always be so with Amazon considering the hefty price I paid.Well, after testing it and using for sometime I give it 5 stars because it has the brightness,the heft,toughness(I had dropped it unintentionally) and the good looks.I developed a fetish for flashlights as a result and would surely buy more of this kind in the future and even now considering to upgrade my 5d to LED.I would buy now if I had the funds but putting it off for now because of the hefty price especially the LED converter kit.
