Why Customers Choose Maglite

TRUSTED BY PROS

"I am a nurse in an NICU and I just wanted to write to let whomever it concerns know how amazing your Solitaire LED mini lights are. I am sure it isn't the most common use for this item, but your lights are some of the only approved we can use directly on our fragile baby's skin because they do not heat up and can withstand our strong cleaning wipes well.

These lights allow us to see through and transilluminate the very small veins/arteries in these premature babies arms so we can start IV lines and draw labs efficiently.

There are many other products specifically designed for our use, but our entire unit loves and swears by these lights instead and we often put in group orders to try to get more as they get used heavily. Just wanted to give y'all a shout out and bring light (pun intended) to an area of use that likely wasn't thought of. " - Erica G.

THANK YOU TO ERICA & HER ENTIRE UNIT FOR YOUR GREAT WORK WITH CHILDREN!

GENERATIONAL QUALITY

"I want to share a positive story about a Maglite product. I recently realized that the Maglite that we still have today is the original that I gave my husband September of 1998 for his birthday, the first year that we were together. I would love to send the Then and Now pictures if you can provide me with an email address or a mailing address. The flashlight still works of course and I think it's probably the oldest gift that we still have from when we were dating. We have now been married for 23 and 1/2 years. A success story on both fronts!" - Brenda M.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BRENDA & HER HUSBAND ON AN INCREDIBLE MARRIAGE AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING US BE THE THIRD WHEEL ALL THESE YEARS!

STORIED RELIABILITY

"I wanted to share a quick story that perfectly represents what your brand has always stood for. Over 30 years ago, I gave a Maglite flashlight to a close friend of mine.

Since then, he has kept it in every single vehicle he’s owned — for decades. It has been through weather, road trips, daily use, and years of real-life wear and tear.

Here’s the part that still amazes me: It still works today and still looks almost new. Not “still works for an old flashlight.” I mean it genuinely performs like it was built yesterday.

Most products don’t survive 3 years, let alone 30+. But this Maglite has basically become a permanent part of his life. It’s one of those rare items that proves, without exaggeration, what true quality looks like.

I’m reaching out because I think this would make a great story for your brand  and I’d love to see my friend featured in some way. He’s not a celebrity or influencer, just someone who has unknowingly been one of your most loyal customers for 30+ years simply because the product earned that loyalty. If this is something your team would be interested in, I’d be happy to share photos of the flashlight and put you in touch with him directly. Thanks for making a product that genuinely lasts a lifetime." - Shawn N.

THANK YOU SHAWN & HIS BEST FRIEND, GEORGE M., FOR YOUR STORY!

"Our Best Overall"

REVIEWED BY POPULAR MECHANICS:

Our best overall is an evolution on the classic hefty Maglite you remember in your parents junk drawer that could blind you if you looked directly at it. This model trades in the D batteries for a rechargeable and replaceable battery. Furthermore, the flashlight has an LED bulb that shines just as brightly as the old-school models you remember.

While Maglite lists that the flashlight shines with a brightness of 1,082 lumens, our own testing measured an even higher figure, not dropping below 1,082 lumens for more than three minutes.

Beyond this, I really love how it feels in my hand. It isn’t quite as clunky as the giant models of the past, but it still boasts a similar heft that feels solid and durable. The aluminum frame and IPX4 water resistance rating backs that feeling up.

The brand has evolved with leaner, more efficient flashlights that still have the heft and reliability that we’ve come to expect.

  • The Maglite ML150LR is a rechargeable flashlight that actually outperformed our lumen test.

  • Despite the company listing 1,082 lumens, it was brighter than that in our lab test and didn’t drop below 1,082 for three full minutes.

  • The flashlight also has some heft in your hand, similar to the classic Maglites of the past.

    Thinking about Maglite might stir up memories of D batteries and a 1970s cop tapping on the window of a pulled-over car. However, the flashlight brand has evolved with leaner, more efficient models that still have the heft and sturdiness that we’ve come to expect.

    The Maglite ML150LR flashlight is a perfect example of this. It isn’t meant for everyday carry in a backpack. It’s designed to sit patiently in a drawer until you need something convenient and powerful during a blackout, while fixing something under the sink, or as you’re searching for Christmas decorations in the attic.

    This flashlight uses an LED bulb and is rechargeable, making it significantly more cost-effective. You’ll save money on batteries considering the dozen or so that the old-school lights seemingly gobbled up. At the same time, the flashlight doesn’t give up all of the hardiness and weight in the process.

    Despite the rechargeable battery reducing the weight and the slim handle, the flashlight is quite sturdy. It still has the same heft in my hand as the classic Maglite from my childhood. The aluminum body backs that weight up with real durability. It won’t dent, crack, or snap if you drop it, which I did onto asphalt from about waist height a number of times. The aluminum is even anodized to better resist moisture and water. In fact, the flashlight is rated IPX4 for water resistance, so feel free to bring it with you when you’re out in the rain.

    An American Origin: Lighting the Way Since 1979

    In 1955, with only $125 to his name, Anthony Maglica Sr. started Mag Instruments, Inc. from a small garage workshop. In 1979, he invented the iconic Maglite flashlight, revolutionizing an entire industry. From work to home to entertainment, Maglite has been a central part of American culture ever since.
