Maglite ML50LX 3-Cell C LED Flashlight, High Lumen Output, Adjustable Beam, Water-Resistant, Multi-Mode Lighting – Black

This is the best flash light I have ever bought. I use it at work to check multiple rooms many times through the night. It fits nicely in a holder on my belt. Its not to heavy like the bigger mag lights and I can sit down comfortably with it on. I go through two C batteries every month and a half to two months. Compared to my last smaller fancy flashlight that was only good for a couple of weeks before it would need new batteries. Also some of my co workers have purchased flashlights well more than twice the cost of this one at specialty stores. When we compared our lights, mine with new batteries and theirs with a fresh charge. This light was just as bright if not brighter than theirs and I don’t have to constantly plug it in to a charger for it to be ready. For what I do this flashlight has a way longer working life between batterie changes for it’s size, compared to anything I’ve seen so far. Even when the batteries are getting low it still produces plenty of light to run against the other flashlights It’s been compared to. I personally rely on this flashlight every night I’m at work for safety/security reasons and that is why I do not hesitate to recommend this flashlight. If you need a good everyday dependable light, this light has been awesome for me. Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I hope it helps. FYI I use mode #4 one press is full power momentary, two clicks is full power on, and three clicks is strobe. It’s the mag light “tactical” mode. I use momentary by far the most.

I have another Maglite 2D purchased 18 years ago, which I recently replaced the original bulb with a dimmable LED. I purchased this one with 2 C batteries because I really appreciate the Maglite quality, and because it is lighter and easier to handle than the 2D type. Also the LED with 3 different brightness levels is fantastic.

After purchasing this flashlight a few years ago I purchased another recently, one for each night stand next to the bed. Fine it doesn't have the lumen output of more modern flashlights, but it has MUCH more useful features. The construction is undeniably rugged, you will be hard pressed to damage this flashlight. The three C cell battery version has TONS of battery life while not being nearly as unwieldy as the D cell versions. ~700 lumens is bright enough if you live outside of a city, and you have easy access to several modes that will do everything you need with nothing you don't. The ability to go from a flood to spot pattern is very useful. The only thing I have changed on this light is the plastic lens, swapping it for a UCL™ v3 AR Coated Borofloat piece from flashlightlens com. If you need a handheld flashlight do yourself a favor and try this one out!

This is a fantastic flashlight and the right size to fit either a center console or glove box. A selection of features are built in; however, you don't have to change from basic function if that's all you require. Programming options is easy to do if desired and instructions are clear/easy to follow.

good compact flashlight, easy focus, convenient on/off switch and ok brightness

Excellent compact lighting and durable

My got-to flashlight for investigating nightime backyard intruders that my dog corners under the shed or up in a tree.

I have had an maglight for over thirty years now. This is my first led maglite. I bought the Maglight that takes three c's batteries. solid construction. And last but not least built in California. L e d light is very bright. Would highly recommend maglight.
