    Maglites as melee weapons

    Maglites have been very well known to be used as melee weapons by policemen. Around March 2007, the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) announced that they would be switching to the Pelican LED 7060 which is smaller and brighter than Maglites. This is because Pelican LED 7060 can not be used as batons in response to a incident where an police officer was accused of using an excessive force against a suspect by using a Maglite.

5 out of 5 stars In a word, excellent   September 21, 2007

The construction and quality is what you'd expect from a Maglite with a solid and durable aluminum body and rubber gaskets inside to keep out dirt and water. The grip is also nicely textured to keep the flashlight from slipping out of your hand.

Light output is excellent with a bright, white beam and good throw distance. The reflector has been redesigned from the 2AA incandescent model and eliminates the infamous Maglite "hole" (a dark spot in the middle of the beam) when the flashlight is on full flood. Adjusting to spot isn't a dramatic difference, but it definitely puts more light in the center of the beam which can be useful in certain situations.

Batteries last a long, long time, and unlike the older incandescent model, the light output doesn't decrease to unusable levels long before the batteries are dead but rather stays clear and bright until the batteries are exhausted. The LED is also considerably more durable than an incandescent bulb, and my LED Maglite has survived knocks and drops that would have required a bulb replacement in my old incan model. And while the LED version is about an inch longer than the old model, the flashlight is still small and light enough to carry everywhere (I always keep mine on my belt so it's always handy when I need it, which is more often than you'd expect!).

I have only one caveat: the flashlight does not have reverse polarity protection meaning that if you accidentally install the batteries backwards, you'll smoke the LED and you'll have to buy a new flashlight. Just be careful when installing the batteries and you'll be fine.

It might seem a little pricey, but it's worth every penny.

Edit: A year later and this little flashlight is still going strong. It never leaves my side.



5 out of 5 stars Great Product, one minor issue though   August 22, 2008

Love Maglite flashlights, only had one minor issue with this one. I don't normally write reviews, but wanted to share this for anyone else who has this problem. The flickering/won't turn on problem very well could be the tailcap assembly (screw off back part). There are 2 metal clips that need to make contact with the barrel. If your AA LED Maglite is not turning on, try bending these 2 clips out and make sure they can make contact with the barrel. Mine had this problem, and once I bent these clips out it has worked just great. I hope this helps someone out there.


5 out of 5 stars Great LED, Much better than non-LED version   May 19, 2007

For a small flashlight, this one is great. It is significantly better than the non-LED version of the same light. The light output from this light is clean, focusable, artifact free, has good color and is about 5 times brighter than the non-LED version. The light still supports "candle mode" too. The flashlight is about 1" larger than the non-LED version. Light output is fairly consistent and strong for a over 3 hours. It is definitely worth buying.

Great product, only problem is there is no spot to attach any type of string to the bottom like I have seen on other models. Keep this in mind when purchasing the accesory kit.

I'm using this light now for 6 months now and it never let me down. It's been dropped more than once and submerged in hot water and still works like new.
