Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This flashlight comes with a high intensity krypton gas lamp for optimum brilliance and extended range. With a twist of the flashlight head, you can change the beam from spot to flood, positioning the light where you need it most. It's anodized inside and out for improved corrosion resistance and durability, with a self-cleaning switch that virtually eliminates oxidation. The high grade O-rings at each opening ensure resistance to water and shock while the low resistance circuitry allows a more efficient use of the batteries. there's an extra lamp in the tail cap to keep you out of the shadows and this flashlight is serially numbered for identification purposes. Bright light. Bright purchase. Black.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme Power and Durability In One Flashlight!, February 2, 2001

Anyone who lives as far out in the rural countryside as I do gets accustomed to power interruptions, whether they are due to downed power lines from ice storms, someone hitting a key telephone pole and knocking out a transformer, or is the result of one of the occasional electrical storms we have during the warmer months of the year. In any and all of these circumstances I can always depend on my collection of mag-lights to see me through the darkness of the house in order to light my well-used candles and oil lamps until the power is finally restored. I also have one in each of my two trucks, and when I recently narrowly missed hitting a startled deer late at night and went off the road into a muddy field, the trusty mag light was invaluable in helping me find a winching point to pull myself out of the muddy gully.

So, in this time of frequent brown-outs and power interruptions, whether it is a venture down into the blackened hole my basement becomes late at night, or finding my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I can always depend on using my mag lights to candle-power my way wherever I am going. I have two of the five battery-sized ones like the one displayed here, but actually also have three or four of the 'smaller' three or four battery sizes as well. I love mine, and although I seem to misplace at least one or two a year, I always have an ample supply of both mag-lights and replacement batteries because I find they are absolutely essential out here in the woods. Get one today.

Not for General use as it is a bit heavy, but perfect for the trunk or wall mounted in the office for power failures. (remove the top completely and you have a nice area light. Red color is easier to find in the dark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is there any better flashlight on the market? I doubt it., April 26, 2001

I have one of these stashed by the back door for forays into the dark of our compost heap. (It gets dark way before dinner up north here and we compost our vegetable scraps.) Then there's one in the car, of course. It happens to make a good ad-hoc weapon, by the way. And perfectly legal for self-defense. Then there's one next to the bed and one in the guest room.

The 5 D-cell means lots of light, lots of life. The size is easy to find. The head design allows you can change the beam from spot to flood by a simple twist. It's treated to resist corrosion (have you ever looking inside one of those cheap steel or aluminum flashlights? They may fail even if you keep the batteries fresh if they are corroded. It's even water resistant. There's an extra lamp in the tail cap, and it has a good warranty. Makes a terrific housewarming present, so don't overlook this as an idea for a new neighbor or a friend who's bought a new house. Can't go wrong with one of these babies.
