I am very pleased with my purchase of the PURPLE MAG-LITE. It was a great price at around $16, comes with an extra bulb, has an adjustable beam, and seems to be well constructed. I live on a canyon and was amazed at how far the beam of light travels!! AND IT'S PURPLE!!!

Mag Lites are the best flashlights. It's dependable and bright. Comes in all sizes and they are great for the price.

I don't know if the plumber swiped it or my exiting roommate. All I know is they all turned up missing at the same time! Can't do without it. No substitute for the real thing.

I used it this weekend and it was the sharpest light out there in the high desert. Clean beam and all it is the best flashlight I own.

I consider all my Maglites to be great products. I purchased this 3-cell along with a 2-cell LED Maglite as gifts. I hadn't seen the new LED Maglites in action so wasn't confident getting this 3-cell as an LED too - plus the LED isn't available in the gift-receiver's favorite color - purple.

If having a purple Maglite isn't a priority, go with the LED version. The light quality is much bluer and crisper than the standard bulb. I don't know if the bulb puts out less lumens than the LED, but the visual perception is that it is not as bright.

If purple is a must-have, you can upgrade with an LED module - which is what I plan on doing with all of my main Maglites.

This Mag light was the best as always. There is no other Flashlight that can compare to Mag lights. This light is the best for anything. I am simple not interested in any other Flashlights, unless they can be proven to out last a Mag light, as to which I doubt very serious....Gary!

All houses need several flashlights, just in case. This flashlight is large and much heavier than cheaper ones. It is very bright and has two settings. And of course it is a beautiful dark shade of purple, so I love it. :)

The Amazon Description says:

But it is not LED, just regular lamp.
The packaging claims 45 Lumens and 10 hours (by comparison, the black LED 3D cell maglite says 104 Lumens and 72 hours)

I have several of these maglites. They are strong and sturdy. Provides enough light. Love the purple color....my favorite color. Comes with an extra bulb in the end cap. Also Maglite is designed and manufacture in the USA.

The color stands out and most men wound.t take it. Plus I love the color .
