## Description

Product Description Maglite LED 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black desertcart.com Like many other manufacturers, Mag Instrument has expanded its line of flashlights to include models featuring LED-type bulbs. Why? LEDs are virtually unbreakable, and they are far more efficient than incandescent bulbs. As the product name suggests, this Maglite runs on 3 D-type batteries, which will take a while to run out thanks not only to the LEDs but also to Mag Instrument's "Intelligent Energy Source Management," which balances high brightness against extended battery life. The bright, powerful beam adjusts from spot to flood simply by rotating the head. The case is made from a high-strength aluminum alloy that has been anodized inside and out, which gives you water- and shock-resistance in a lightweight package. High-quality O-rings at both openings keep water away from the batteries. In other words, this energy-efficient flashlight is almost indestructible--a good quality when it comes to the tools. Limited lifetime warranty. Batteries not included.--Josh Dettweiler P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Manufacturer Maglite brings LEDs into focus. The Maglite three D-battery LED flashlight, well known for its quality, durability, and reliability is now available with new MAG-LED technology. Designed for professional and consumer use, benefits include a powerful projecting beam that focuses simply by rotating the head, balanced optics combining a highly refined reflector with a quality LED for a brilliant adjustable beam, intelligent energy source management (patent pending) balancing high brightness with efficient power usage, and water and Shock resistance. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty. See more

Review: Great light, highly recommended (although price is increasing...) - I really like this line of Maglites, with the black being the ST3D016 model. I bought 4 of them in 2019, with the average price being $26 at the time (black, silver, gray, and camo). I came back today to buy one as a gift and it's $50, so has nearly doubled in price in 2 years! I bought my first Maglite in 1982, 39 years ago, a 4D, incandescent of course, and it's still going strong, upgraded in the '90's to a krypton bulb, then later to LED module. These are 168 lumens, and are simple and reliable. I haven't had any issue with the button covers, but based on other reviews am keeping an eye on that. I considered the ML300L line at a big increase in lumens, but didn't like the form factor, the lighter construction, the finicky multi-button push sequence, the failure rate, or the overall lower ratings. I already have a couple "fry your eyeballs" Surefire combat lights, but just wanted general purpose reliable very bright flashlights for the garage, shed, and bedrooms. I already had two 20 year-old incandescent 3D maglites, which I retrofitted with Maglite LED bulbs about 10 years ago, one of which has already failed, which is irritating, but in fairness it may have been dropped by the person I loaned it to. Those LED upgrades are big improvements over the Krypton bulbs, but not quite as bright as these units. I was amazed at the brightness and throw of these lights. I can easily light up a rooftop or treetop over 150 yards away, plus don't suck up battery life with a bunch of unnecessary brightness. To me these 3D Maglights at 168 lumens are the perfect compromise between long battery life, durability, a light you can maintain yourself without sending back to the factory, and something you can use as an attitude adjuster in a pinch. For the ones I carry in the thug infested part of town when I walk the dog I added a Weltool strike bezel just in case, but ML300L or not, the light is bright enough on it's own to blind anyone. Hopefully the price will go back down after this inflationary craziness dies down (IF it dies down), but even at $50 I can enthusiastically recommend this model. The sole concern I have is if the LED ever fails, because you can't go back to a krypton bulb like you can with the incandescent conversions, so I'll have to pay Mag to have it fixed. That's not likely though I don't think. The other desertcart extras I can recommend are the Weltool hard glass lens (comes with the strike bezel, or you can buy separately and keep the factory bezel), and an Uncle Mikes belt hanger, which is especially useful if you're a cop or security guard or just might need your hands free. Finally, depending on the size of your hands, wrap the beginning and ending of the knurling with about a 1.5" -2" width of hockey tape, which will help you hang onto the light, and is nicer to have under your palm on a cold night. Get one, I don't think you'll regret it. (P.S. To the people that see a black circle at the center of the beam, turn the bezel! These are adjustable from a wide to spot beam, and only the spot and wide spot doesn't have the black center circle. I index mine so that when turned as far as I can to the left, it's a spot. You can tweak that by taking off the head of the light and turning the reflector a quarter turn in the housing then trying again. Repeat until you get it the way you want it.
Review: Classic powerhouse that still earns its keep - Classic powerhouse that still earns its keep The Maglite ST3D016 3-Cell D LED is a true workhorse. It’s built with the same bombproof aluminum body Maglite has been trusted for since the ’80s, only now paired with LED efficiency. At 168 lumens, the beam may not compete with today’s “fry your eyeballs” tactical lights, but for most practical uses—home, camping, car emergencies—it’s bright, clean, and throws over 400 meters. The adjustable head lets you shift from wide flood to tight spot with a simple twist, and it feels solid in the hand without fiddly multi-mode sequences. Battery life is where it shines: 3 D-cells can keep this light running for weeks or months of normal use. Add in weather-resistant seals and impact resistance, and you have a tool that’s equally at home in the garage or on a night patrol. Some users even like the heft for self-defense, though others may find it heavy for everyday carry. The main drawbacks? It’s big and bulky compared to modern compact LED lights, and if the LED module ever fails, you can’t just swap in a bulb like the old incandescents. Still, the reliability and simplicity outweigh those concerns for most. Bottom line: A durable, American-made flashlight that balances brightness, battery life, and ruggedness. Not the lightest or flashiest option, but if you want a dependable tool that’ll likely outlast you, this Maglite is hard to beat.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Image of this flashlight says 79h? Does it will run for 79 hours?**
A: According to the FL1 testing procedures, with a fresh set of alkaline batteries it will run from full brightness at 30 seconds after turning it on to 10% of full brightness at 79 hours. 10 % is bright enough to light your path if you are walking slowly, and bright enough to read by. I have not personally checked the run time, as I use the FL1 standardized test results as a basis for comparison when buying flashlights. But Maglight can be depended upon to give accurate test results. FWIW, I do not use alkaline batteries in ANYTHING anymore because I have had so many devices ruined by the batteries leaking. I use eneloop rechargeable batteries in almost everything, and for lights that will be stored for long periods of time without being used, like in my Bug Out Bag, I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries because they have an extremely long shelf life, and do not leak. In my 3 D Cell Maglite I use adapters that let me use 3 AA batteries to replace 1 D size. So I use 9 AA eneloop batteries in my 3D cell Maglite and they work quite well. This light is BRIGHT, and with it's focusing ability it is very useful in a wide variety of situations.

**Q: I would like to know why there are different prices for different colors?**
A: For those who "lost" a black flashlight on a black carpet or other black surface, simply purchase a 1" roll of Photo luminescent (reflective) tape, about $3.00 for a 15' roll. wrap it around a bare part of the handle.  Voila, problem solved!  Also, price difference is due to the increased cost to anodize the aluminum metal.

**Q: What's is the lumens?**
A: It’s 168 lumens, as is posted in the ad.  Candlepower (which is really what matters - the reflector and lens has a very large impact) is 42,355.  That’s a lot.  A LOT.  A pocket flashlight might have 500-3000.  A tactical one might have 10,000-20,000.  Crazy ones like my $280 Félix have 12,000 lumens and 200,000 candlepower.  But Maglites are bulletproof (I still have the one I bought in 1980, one year after Mag-Lite was founded, and it looks like new) and will keep their maximum brightness for over 6 hours (for 2-cell) and 80 hours (for 3-cell).  The cool small Fenix and Nitecore flashlights are very bright (up to 40,000 candlepower, 1600 lumens) and small, but they get too hot so their internal processor (they are very smart) will cut back to fairly dim after a few minutes (like 5 or less).  If you really need to keep up maximum brightness for a while (working outside, walking at night through the forest to your campground, searching a field for a lost item) and want something that will last a lifetime, nothing beats a Mag-Lite.  I own 2 rechargeable ones, one 6-cell LED, 5 3-cell LEDs, and 2 2-cell.

**Q: What is the length?**
A: 10.125"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great light,one problem?
*by B***O on December 18, 2010*

I bought this Mag-Lite for my job where I am required to use it on a pretty regular basis. I own one of the orignal 3-D Cell Mags for a long time(it was my dads and I think the light is older than I am). The originals I have come to know and love as a dependable, long lasting flashlight, EXCEPT for the batteries. Mags are infamous for chewing through their batteries like a shark to chum. And when they get cold, it's "bye-bye" battery life. I went with the LED becuase I know that they are easier on batteries. GOOD STUFF: After first installing batteries..HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY!!! This light is BRIGHT! It puts out an immense "white" light that hurts the eyes to stare at(tested it on myself). I have been using the same set of D-Cell batteries for about 2 months now. I use the light 5 days a week, for about 30-45 minutes a shift. It still seems to maintain it's brightness! I have even left it in my car overnight during one of the coldest winters we've had in a long time; took it-to work, pulled it out of my work bag(it was SWEATING beacuse of the cold!), turned it on, and NO loss of brightness. PROBLEM: Really the ONLY bad thing I could say about this Mag, is that it likes to flicker a lot(the light beam). I have completely checked all of the contacts, leads, and batteries for any signs of a short and/or corrossion, but was unable to find any. The only way I was able to eliminate the flicker was to tighten down the beam adjuster all the way, which limits the amount of adjustment I can use on the beam without it flickering. I am not sure if this is a problem with other units or just mine. I am going to contact the company and update my post afterwards. PROS: - Solid, durable construction - LONG battery life - VERY bright light output CONS: - Flickering of the light beam - Weight(Almost 3lbs when "loaded" with batteries) - I chose the light SPECIFICALLY for the weight, as I might need to use as self-defense. UPDATE: 12/30/11 I have had this light for awhile now(a few days over a year). The first set of batteries lasted me over 7 months of continuous daily use! The rubber on/off button cover did end up going missing though. I would recommend getting a small-length(1-3 inches) of bicycle innertubing to fix the problem. Just slip it on over the Mag's tube, over the button, and done!
