it's small but it's bright and the build quality is good. Maglite is indeed different.

Good purchase. It arrived exactly as stated and works perfectly. I would certainly buy from this vendor again. No cancerns at all.

These little flashlites are a good toy if you a little kid! They are made like a little 'TANK'! They are indestructable! KM

Great small size flashlight. Made from aircraft aluminum.

Pros:
-Well constructed in every detail.
-Water resistant
-Available in many attractive colors.
-Shockproof. Full sized Maglites were known to be used as a baton by LAPD.
-Nice light output. You can adjust the spread of the beam by twisting the head, which is also serves as the on and off switch.
-Being a popular brand, some accessories are available to attach it to your hat, belt, etc..
-It even includes a spare lamp inside the tail cap (under the spring).

Cons:
-Uses 3 "AAA" battery which is kinda odd.
-Maglites are somewhat overrated in my opinion.

OK, I am naive in the way of modern devices but I could not figure out how to turn it on. I unscrewed and/or tried turning every apparently turnable secion, got the battery and the lightbulb out, the lantern stand to work, but never ON. When a friend showed me how, I was very disappointed in the product. I bought it for emergency use, and I think the on/off is a bit too obscure. Never had any trouble with other flashlights, including those where you turn the head a little. The design is beautiful and the functions great. But most of all, I wish they had given on/off description in the listing - I would have known not to buy it.
