Maglite flash-lights give a very satisfying feel, due to their length and diameter, knurled barrel, solid build, and hefty weight. This one is made from anodised aluminium which makes it strong and resistant to corrosion. The torch comes with a bulb fitted, and a spare in the end cap. The end cap unscrews to allow you to insert the batteries, and rubber O-rings are used to keep moisture out.
The front end twists to change the focus of the beam, as with virtually all cylinder Maglites. They describe this as being from "spot" to "flood", but calling the wide beam "flood" is a bit of an exaggeration. The wide beam also suffers from the classic "dark spot" - a shadow cast by the incandescent bulb. If even light is important to you, buy a multibulb or the MagLite LED version. The Maglite is good enough for most jobs but even with the supplied bulb and new, decent batteries the light quality is poor enough to lose one star.
The switch is a rubber covered push-click type contact, which can be on or off, or half pressed for intermittent signalling.
This is by no means the best torch I have ever seen, but it is suitable for most situations I find myself in. And it can sure take a beating! In normal day-to-day use these things are essentially indestructible.
Whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to use Uniross D Converters for this torch - it simply doesn't work. The contact in the bottom of the torch is a spring and the smallest loop of that spring is bigger than the contact on the foot of an AA battery. There is not enough space to use a coin as a contact plate. Use real D-sized batteries instead, such as Duracell Plus.

its a nice torch solidly built and can be used for self defence if needed. Light output isnt great compared to LED equivelants but if you want something that will last you an age this is the torch for you.
i personally upgraded the bulb in mine from the standard krypton bulb to the upgraded 6 cell xenon bulb which gives the torch a slight lumen and efficiency increase and nicer colour but the light corona isnt as good the krypton.
you may want to wrap a piece of a4 paper around the batteries as i found there was a very slight rattle where the batteries didnt fit as snugly inside the torch as i would of liked.
Ive also heard to people using the 5 cell maglite bulbs in these torches and overdriving them to get a brighter light but the bulbs wont last as long.
enjoy.

Well, what can I say about this magnificent torch, with 6 D size batteries it can be quite hefty, but it does make a difference. It easily reaches the end of my 2 acre field at spot beam. It has to be one of the best torches I've ever bought, with brilliant aluminium build quality and not to mention it's self defence capabilities! I find the torch sits well in the hand with the balance point about 2 inches behind the switch, which can be a bit annoying at times I must admit and in the winter months it does get extremely cold handling bare metal, but that's what gloves were invented for! The quality of the beam (spot and flood) is outstanding and greatly outweighs the negatives I find. Excellent choice for walking the dog with.

Perfect
The flashlight is very good. You can use it for your safety also due to the fact that is heavy with the six batteries in it. The out coming light is very good.
