Maglite Mini Incandescent 2-Cell AA Flashlight, Black

This is a great flashlight. I have other flashlights, that are LED, but they bother the eyes and are not healthy. These give off a true light, not the blue light of an LED. We have animals and use this light to check on them at night. Less damaging to their sensitive eyes at night. You can focus the beam from more of a flood to a small spot light. Unscrew the lens piece and it acts as a base to stand the light up and you have a nice little 'candle' light. For the money, they're great. Glad to see Maglite is still making other and LED flashlights.

I love this travel sized flashlight! It's the perfect size to keep in your glove box, purse, or take it camping. Cell phone flash lights aren't always appropriate. The battery compartment also has a spare light bulb nested in the cap! The flashlight itself is made from durable metal, much better than cheap plastic. The light beam is also adjustable from a directed beam to a more diffuse light that illuminates a larger area. You can also remove the cover over the bulb, and the flashlight works like a flameless candle, lighting up a whole room, car interior, or tent. Maglites last decades, they are a reliable made in the USA brand, still made in the USA. Great purchase! Definitely recommend having one on hand for emergencies!

This mini Maglite is compact, sturdy, and bright enough for everyday use. Perfect for keeping in a drawer, glove box, or emergency kit. The build quality is solid and it feels durable. Great little flashlight!

I've been using this size and brand for over a decade. You will need scissors to open the packaging. The flashlight is easy to assemble. It has a strong light, despite its small size. It is light weight and easy to fit in a purse, glove compartment, drawer, etc. I've never been successful at replacing the little bulb, but the purchase of a new item after over 10 years of use is not so bad.

Compact size fits in the console of the car for convenience. Gives you a better sense of security.

I've been using incandescent mini maglites for decades. I've probably purchased 20 of them and store them in my flight bag, in my aircrafts for night flight, in my hiking, skiing, backpacking, kayaking backpacks, etc. They fit perfectly in my hand or can be held in your mouth hands free, but aren't so small that you are more likely to lose them like AAA variety. They are very light weight. They can be operated even with bulky gloves on. There are zero integrated circuits to ever fail and only a couple of o-rings that are easily replaceable but I've never needed to do it. I've never crushed one or had it break from being dropped. I've never had one fail due to moisture. The primary failure mode is using normal alkaline batteries which leak and swell and then corrode the inside. The second mode, which has only happened half a dozen times or so is bulb failure and certainly changing the bulb worked, but is a bit fiddly and you could lose the bulb. The third mode has only happened maybe once or twice to me was battery exhaustion but was addressed with spare batteries or backup flashlights.So my guidance for the most reliable flashlight I've ever found are twofold:Use lithium AAs as they have a shelf life of at least a decade, have never leaked and corroded my equipment, and are lighter than normal Alkalines. I even use 9 or 12 of them with special D adapters inside a 3 or 4 D cell maglite for cars and trucks and such where space and weight are less of a concern.Use a roughly 2" wide piece of painters tape or some such to go once around the barrel to keep the flashlight from turning on inside a pack or pocket and draining (this is easily removed when it's time to use it, can be stored on the handle or elsewhere and placed back when done or replaced after a trip).In ultra critical situations like night flight, carry extra batteries and/or duplicate flashlights.I have designed elastic loops on my flight kneeboard to hold the flashlight in a known convenient place and the smooth tubular design makes it easy to slide the flashlight into the loop. I've also used them with headbands which work similarly for hands free operation, but I seldom do that since I prefer to turn them on and off frequently or maneuver the flashlight to places my head is not. There are better headlamp solutions.
