ML50L LED 2-Cell C

This light is exactly what I was looking for. It's very bright, sturdy, enough weight to thump a 'tire' if necessary, and small enough to actually carry. It also looks very similar to my Dad's old MagLites I grew up playing with. It's both efficient and nostalgic. The battery life is excellent, too. I'm using rechargeable, 1.5v(regulated) lithium cells and I've never had it die or even dim. For the price, I don't think you could do better.

Very nice with high and low beam. Takes 3c batteries which makes it heavy to be used around the house but a great outdoor or keep in the auto type flashlight

Maglite flashlights are still the 'go to' flashlights on the market. They feature a high quality metal casing & a bright light source to be able to see clearly in a dark environment or outside at night. This flashlight is compact & takes 2 'C' cell batteries. It also features a LED light bulb, which offers a bright, energy saving light source & a 10 year warranty. If you're looking for reliable, quality made in the USA type of flashlight, this Maglite LED flashlight is the one to choose!

It works and feels like the quality Maglites I have used for years, but updated as an LED flashlight. Has three different modes, with different effects for each one, but what I really like is that it is bright, has usable, focused light where I need it, and it works every time I push the button

***Updated: January 27, 2017*** I've had the flashlight a little while now and have learned a couple of additional things about this flashlight. 1. When your batteries start to run low, you lose the brightest setting. So if your 1st click was brightest, 2nd was medium, and 3rd was lowest, when your batteries are starting to get low, the 1st and 2nd clicks will just be medium brightness. When they get really low, all 3 clicks will just be the lowest brightness. 2. The Quick Focus is nice, but I wish that finest focus was be all the way at one end and the widest all the way at the other. Unfortunately, it's not this way. The finest focus is in between the ends, for some reason. Downgrading from 5 stars to 4 stars because, while I still really like the flashlight, it's not "perfect". ***Original Review*** My kids and I "played" with this flashlight all last night to give it a good testing and so far, I really like it. The first thing I noticed about the flashlight was the size of it compared to it's Lumens, Beam Distance, and battery life. I feel that, for its size and the fact that it only uses 2 "C" batteries, the Lumens, Beam Distance, and battery life are excellent. I feel that this flashlight is perfectly balanced between size and functionality. This is my first LED Maglite. All my previous Maglites have been incandescent. I like that I will never have to change the bulb in this flashlight, as the LED is expected to last more hours than I will likely ever use this flashlight for (50,000 hours minimum). My old incandescent Maglites have a head that turns and turns. This flashlight has a Quick Focus feature that allows you to change the focus of the beam from narrow to wide with only a 1/4 turn of the head, which I think is great. Additionally, the head is unable to turn any further than this 1/4 distance, so you only have the 1/4 distance to move the head back and forth in. I find this helpful in learning what positions the head needs to be in in order to quickly achieve the desired beam focus you're looking for. My 1 year old daughter dropped the flashlight on the wooden floor from about a 1 foot height and it continued to function normally. I'm glad to see that the slightest bump like this didn't kill the flashlight. I would have been extremely disappointed if such a small drop did kill it. I don't plan to drop the flashlight often, obviously, but it does happen. I'm using Odec C Rechargeable Batteries, Deep Cycle 5000mAh NiMH Battery Pack(4 Pack) in the flashlight and it's working well with these so far. The flashlight has a Lumens rating of 490. We turned it on on High in a dark bedroom and, wow, did it light up the entire room! I love that I should get around 15 hours of use even on this High setting and around 112 hours on the lowest Eco setting. To me, that is amazing! We took the flashlight outside and did a distance test in the dark. We are about 700 feet away from the Stop sign at the corner of our street. We could not see the Stop sign in the night, but when shining the flashlight in that direction, we could clearly see the Stop sign. Impressive. Switching the flashlight between the 4 Activity Based Function Sets is really simple. I know that the instructions make it sound like knowing how far to unscrew the tail cap is a bit of a guessing game, but it doesn't need to be. Just hold down the on/off button first, which will turn the flashlight on. Continue holding the button down and then unscrew the tail cap just enough to turn the flashlight off. Then, while still holding the on/off button down, screw the tail cap all the way back in. Now you're in the programming sequence and the flashlight will cycle through the available Activity Based Function Sets for you to choose from. There are a couple of things I don't like about the Activity Based Function Sets, though. My 1st dislike is that there is no Activity Based Function Set which allows you to have the Eco setting tied to the 1st click of the on/off button. Actually, being able to program the on/off button for each of the 1, 2, and 3 click settings separately would have been ideal, but this is not an option. The 2nd dislike is regarding the Multi-Mode functionality itself. It can be a bit difficult sometimes to click 2, or 3, times in a row to get to the right setting you want. You really do need to be fully aware of which setting you are trying to get to *before* you start clicking the on/off button. It does take some practice and decisive clicking. I do like that the on/off button is extremely quiet when clicked, though. Overall, as you can tell, I really like this flashlight, and the price makes it even that much better. (I paid $35.) I don't think that I will personally be going back to the "D sized Maglites anytime soon, as this "C" sized Maglite is such a perfect balance in all areas that are important to me.

This flashlight is an extraordinarily well-made and well-thought product which functions well, is reliable, and simply feels good to use.

Nice, medium size light with great illumination power. Perfect to have at hand.

This flashight wont light and Maglite customer service offers no help other than to contact Amazon for a rebate. This was a very bad choice.

Sufficiently small to carry on a belt (given a suitable holder), yet produces a powerful beam of light. The button is a simple on and off affair, rather than the chaos of a set number of clicks for some specific but useless function you don't want. A simple, specialised and so quality item. Convenient and useful.

brilliant lovely and bright and light to hold love the flickering light it brings my dogs in

Buena linterna hasta el momento funciona muy bien

Ottima, dimensioni e peso più che accettabili, ottima illuminazione ed autonomia, usata con 2 ricaricabili NiMh perde un poco di autonomia ma guadagna in praticità. Più pratica e maneggevole della ML300L 2D. Peccato per il vetro in policarbonato.

Ce n’est pas ma première Maglite. Je connais bien cette marque depuis très longtemps ainsi que la plupart des modèles qui sont proposés (ma 1ère Maglite a plus de 30 ans et elle est toujours en fonction avec un module LED de conversion) Celle-ci est une des mes préférées car c’est la plus compacte (elle fait 21 cm de haut) et ceci sans rogner sur la performance lumineuse et les fonctionnalités (490 lumens). Pour trouver plus petit, il faut aller chercher dans la gamme des MAG TAC si on veut conserver une bonne puissance lumineuse (320 lumens avec des piles Lithium CR123) et elle sera plus chère Elle fonctionne avec 2 piles R14 (ou 2C dans la référence Maglite). Le choix du programme d’éclairage se fait facilement au moment de l’insertion des piles (il y a 4 modes possibles). Ensuite, c’est au nombre de clics sur le switch électronique que l’on sélectionne le mode d’éclairage (3 choix). De mon côté, j’ai opté pour le programme « Outdoor » (allumage peine puissance, allumage économie d’énergie et stroboscope) La prise en main me convient parfaitement car j’ai des petites mains (le corps fait 3 cm de diamètre). Pour des mains plus grosses, il faudra certainement préférer les modèles avec des piles R20 (ou 2D) Je l’ai achetée en promotion flash avec un rapport qualité prix très avantageux Si vous cherchez une torche performante alors n’hésitez pas si en plus elle est en promo sur Amazon
