Maglite Heavy-Duty Incandescent 6-Cell D Flashlight in Display Box, Black

This is my sixth 6-D Cell Maglite in my lifetime. I've used them for camping, power outages, walking at night, work and home repairs. The first four that I bought in the 1980s were one each for me and my three brothers and as far as I know, my borthers all have and use theirs. When mine was stolen in 1994, it was still working. The fifth one that I bought (my second) in 1994 was using it's original style bulb until 2005 when I replaced it with a TerraLux TLE-6EX LED bulb replacement kit, at the time a fantastic upgrade from the standard bulb. It was still working until recently when it was stolen. This time along with the Maglite, I bought and installed an HRQP 3 Watt LED bulb replacement kit and it's the brightest 6-D Maglite that I've owned. There are brighter LED kits available for this flashlight, but I don't need anything brighter than this. It's a bright, durable and reliable brute that will last for years, as long as someone doesn't steal it. It's my go-to flashlight.

This is the best weapon on the market, sorry, best flashlight on the market..

Long, with batteries, heavy. Add a HQRP LED bulb and you have one seriously bright flashlight, and a potentially serious bludgeoning instrument if need be in self defense. In certain neighborhoods I will carry this light. I keep the head dialed down to a narrow beam to temporarily blind someone so I can step out of a danger zone. WARNING: If you were to do what I did and put a high intensity LED bulb in a 6D cell MAGLITE, don't ever look into it, while turned on. You might cause eye damage to yourself. However on a dark night, where there are no street lights, and you need something really bright, this is your light. I scared a Black Bear with this light one night. With the LED bulb installed, I spotted a bear headed for my bird feeders. I shined the light right into the bear's eyes and it tried to block the light with it's paws. I then grabbed the top of a metal trash barrel hit it with my new MAGLITE and growled really loudly, then shined the light back into it's eyes, and it ran off.

This flashlight is great for an outdoor walk, or if your anywhere outside at night. It's also good if you are in a situation where you need a weapon at night. However, I think it might be rather impractical for any other use. It's too big for using around the house, or working in tight areas. And it requires 6 D-cell batteries, which are not exactly cheap. At the end of the day, this is a flashlight made by Maglite, so you know you're getting a flashlight that's going to last.

A nice little light from maglite, like usual the beam is not perfectly round, but it is made in the US and it is cheap. Pros- *cheap at around twenty five dollars. * tough maglite aluminum exterior wont rust. *Made in Ontario, California (I believe) or SOMEWHERE in the US, not a "Made in China" Stamp to be found. *bright but unimpressive for its size compared to modern expensive LED lights like those by Surefire or Streamlight. * heavy enough to knock someones block off in the middle of the night or on the side of a road Cons- *Finish Scrapes off pretty easily if rubbed against something rough * lumpy light beam pattern, common on all Maglites * Heavy (I know I know I said it was a pro) It is too heavy to carry all day long, if you really want to carry a maglite id suggest a 4 D cell or even a 3) If you are a police officer or someone who wants to defend themselves but cant carry a gun I would suggest a Surefire or Stream light light and an ASP baton (really hurt someone with one (read kill someone) if you dont know what you are doing so be careful and get some training if you are going to carry a baton and make sure it is legal in your area.) Overall I would suggest the maglite if you want a huge light that you will keep at your bedside or in the car.

The old reliable Maglite 6 D Cell heavy duty flashlight has been around for many years. A wonderful yet inexpensive flashlight that has a very bright wide beam, can focus wide or narrow beams, is drop resistant, and can when called upon be used as a close in self defense weapon. This flashlight has been #1 with law enforcement and others for many years. Highly recommended. To make a great thing better, combine this light with a replacement LED bulb and a glass lens (both can be found for a modest price) and you have a flashlight that will compete with any LED light on market today.

a year and a half later, it still works well. I haven't tried killing zombies with it yet, but I believe it would work just fine if I ever had to.

this thing sits right next to my computer table and accompanies me when things go bump in the night and have to investigate. I used AA battery adaptors with rechargeable Amazon NiMh batteries(2000maH) and with Terralux TLE-6EX LED bulb and it works just fine. At first I was afraid that I'd get a flashlight that used those metal prong style light bulbs that other Amazon reviewers were talking about. but the Terralux fit right in! No prongs in sight! now this just might be true for only the 6D maglights. The battery life Is pretty good and its not the brightest torch, but it gets to job done. Its got a nice black anodized finish to it and feels quite substantial, especialy after loaded with 12 AA batteries(EVEN MORE WITH D-CELLS). batteries seem to last about 5-7 hours heavy use.

It's a mag lite, great product. The original

La lampe est comme décrite. De la qualité, solide et durable. L'éclairage est correcte mais il ne vaut pas celui d'une lampe tactique. Attention à la taille.La 6D est vraiment énorme. Difficile de la loger dans un véhicule. Faite attention à l'usage que vous vous voulez en faire avant de l'acheter.

Finalmente trovata una torcia 'classic' style come non se ne fanno più, purtroppo. Pesante il giusto e con un fascio di luce davvero molto penetrante. Certo, non è da cruscotto in macchina ma se vi trovaste immersi nella natura come è successo a me per un lavoro (fotografia), o in campeggio, potrete sicuramente apprezzarne le autentiche qualità di torcia professionale. Unica precauzione: se la temperatura è bassa non lasciatela a terra per troppo tempo perché il case in alluminio si raffredda davvero tanto è le batterie ne risentono.

Nice bright light. D cells are getting harder to find but this light lasts. Great for around the home and backs as a good protective item if need be.
