7 years back I used not this LED version but older incandescent bulb version for going out of the office, out door purchasing after 6 PM, for quick checking of bike during long bike ride. Long walk to home. Even used as an emergency lamp (candle mode) removing the cap for shower, reading, dinner in hotel, restaurant, office canteen. As there was frequent and long power cut.
Nice! They are very handy. I still use the cheap incandescent 2AA flashlights all around the house.
I've been carrying a Solitaire LED Maglite for years. Several, in fact. I've never had any of them accidentally turn on. Great EDC light.
I'm still using mine! Excellent light!
Def def getting this for the family and myself. Thanks for the review!
Mike Oporto yup!
Didn't think Mag Lite was still around!!! Alot of Offerings in the Flashlight World!!! Good Stuff!!! Thanxs for Sharing... 😀
They dominate the Walmart flashlight section but so many other companies have popped that we have a ton of options!
Made in PA! I carry this every day, the best imo
Good review as I have liked Mag lite since the 80's....Good stuff....
Same here!
Thank you so much that was awesome!
littlepacificstudios Thanks for watching!
I love Mag Lite products! I can use some more so thanks for the review. 👍
Next week I will share a review for their 2 AA model. I have been buying them for many years with no issues. They work good. Not excellent but OK for the money.
If you use lithium batteries they don't leak acid so you'll never have a problem with them in the flashlight and they last longer. It's alkaline batteries that swell up and/or leak acid, but they can do that in any product. Really enjoyed your review.
This is good to know!
Cd means candella. The emitter used in this is the Luxeon C emitter. If you have a Sams club membership, I highly recommend getting Energizer Ultimate Lithium Bulk packs of 12. They have awesome shelf life, I bought an 8 pack in 2004 at then $20.96, and they're still most of the way full with moderate use.
Nice! Will do and thank you!
Never had any battery issues in a mag lite, had to change the bulb one time but that’s it
Nice review, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
im a coast led and i say mag are okay they do illuminate the dark area fine
buying one to have it put on my kydex sheath for my knife, so wanted to watch some reviews even though i know mags are good anyway lol.
Right on!
Nice flashlight and good presentation. Regards :)
Thank you!
My solitaire got ram over by a Mac truck. Twice. Still works
Nice!!!
👍 for the doggy
I will let him know!
That's my EDC pocket flashlight. Works great and I dont even realizeit's there. I keep it on the lanyard with a d ring hooked to my belt loop.
It works surprisingly well!
If you put an Energizer Ultimate Lithium in there you'll forget it's even there.
I have had one of these lights for the past 5 years. It has survived daily use, sitting on it, washer AND dryer, and many drops. If you are concerned about durability of a $10 aluminum flashlight, then you may not want to use electronic key fobs for your car. Those fobs cost a ton of money to replace, and they are not as durable as this little light. Also it's made in USA, that's nice. The main con, it's not as advanced as other flashlights in this size, but my '97 Ram 1500 takes me 60 mi to and from work everyday. So "features" and "how modern" something is is not the end all be all.
This is true!
it is not opening from back side I couldn't put the battery.I think it is stucked in a someway . do you think how can I open it?
You may have a battery that leaked inside of it and the acid cakes up in the tube making the lid hard to open. Put a small screwdriver in the hole where the cap is and gently hold the barrel of the flashlight in a pair of pliers and twist
@@travisp11 thank you. I will try
on the battery issue dont use duracell, they have been to have issues with swelling, the new energizer 10 year batteries will be better if they every bust. I have used cr123 duracell batts and are the best, then energizer, then surefire. For aa, aaa, c, d, and the 12v smoke detector batts energizer are the go to. everyready = store brand stay away unless you are in a pinch for all batteries. I will be getting the twist head 3c maglite soon for work. Outside of surefire flashlights = high end 1911, maglite = glock of flashlights, they set the bar. The reviews on amazon and other places are mostly true some lights slip through QC just like anything else, if you get one contact maglite and they will fix or replace for free. They warranty is like Smith and Wesson, they back there product and have a reputation to maintain. Good review glad you like a old school light from 1979, ps that's why i say maglite =glock, when you cant pistol wipe with plastic, you use a aluminum pipe lol
I have heard that about Duracell. I will stick with Energizer.
Energizer owns eveready and they now own rayovac
There's a reason flashlights guys call alkaline batteries "alkaleaks". No matter the brand they WILL leak eventually. You've been very lucky to not have any problems. I personally never use anything but nimh rechargable batteries. Just keep charging them over and over and they'll never leak.
The nice thing is if you're somewhere where you can't charge them that's when the normal Energizer or Duracell come in to play because they're always good as a backup.
This puts out more light than the 3D cell Xenon version.
Check out the Mag Tac
Only thing that I don't like is that you can get higher lumens from similar sized AAA flashlights like the Hatori or TruNite one pro is the focus beam though.
This is true and I know that price should not always dictate what you but what are some of the cheaper models that the company you mentioned have to offer?
@@travisp11 Well TruNite has the Ti3 which is $14 but is brighter and smaller. The Hatori 9CM is about the same size and claims 150 lumens for the same price but sadly it doesn't support a key ring.
@@kakashi99908 Good to know!
Hi! Question do you try to use rechargeable battery? And what highest mah? Thank you stay safe.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with rechargeable batteries in this light. You could try a rechargeable with voltage and milliamps that match the alkaline batteries that I use.
@@travisp11 ok thank you stay safe all.
Wish the solitaire had the candle feature... Still like my solitaire though.
I agree!
It does.
The led of this flashlight is made too in united estates or is made in another country?
I would guess China but I’m not sure
@@travisp11 hi, i have now a maglite solitaire led, is new and very beautiful, but i have a problem, the solitaire led flashlight, says in the head after solitaire: LED but in my flashlight does not says LED in te head of the flashlight, you know why??
Sorry for my bad english, i have from Colombia
@@Sebastian-lu8en You may have been sold a fake.
I have one but everytime I turn it, on the light small light fades away slowly
Bolt Goated new battery?
travisp11 yes it was that thx
i like this video style
Thank you!
Amazingly Maglite is still Made in the USA.. Support our companies when you can..
My only wish is for Maglite to start moving towards the sliding front lens like others have to adjust the beam.
I agree!
@@travisp11 I’m mad at myself (kinda) cause i was looking for a really small flashlight at a reasonable price that was Made in US last nite, and forgot all about Maglite. Best i could find on Amazon was USA made Cree LED used.. Dont think maglite makes a single AA cell flashlight..
@@kctyphoon Yeah, I think the 2 AA models are the smallest you can get aside from the one that I featured in this video.
👍👍👍👍👍
Russian. скажи пожалуйста а он может работать на батарейке 10440 или не может
10$? In EU they are sold for 30€... 35$ :/
You will find one in my coin pocket everyday
They put out some decent light for as small as they are. Thanks for watching!
Me also
I had an incandescent one for a few years and kept it on my keychain. Don’t keep it on a keychain, it unscrews and falls apart. Better to keep it in your pocket.
True!
Have one for two and a half month's......second battery. Now having reliability issues. These maglites are not as good as they used to be.
Not good!!
@@travisp11 yeah its sad that maglite used to have a place in my heart. I used the 14 lumen regular bulb maglite on my destroyer while on duty.....never failed. I guess i will have to find another edc light. I guess made in the USA dont matter anymore😕
@@adamreed6471 may just be the LED technology that is inferior in this light.
@@travisp11 update! All it needed was a new battery lol....the flikering stopped...
@@adamreed6471 nice!!
The majority of the one-star reviews must have been knock-offs. It's Amazon after all.
Probably.
Maglite beams are so poopy...
Go buy a olight for the same price ten times the quality and design and three times the lumens mag lite is the hi point of flashlights lmao
This is good to know! BTW, I got an Olight video that will go live on Saturday at midnight. I think you will like it!
@Chloe Watson yea, because olight is better
