Maglite Boxed AA LED Mini (Grey)

I bought this to replace my old Maglite mini, which I had converted to LED with a third party replacement LED unit. The new one is not a patch on my old one – it was at the very least, twice as bright and with the same power consumption. If I hadn’t dropped the old one and ruined it I’d still be using it – it was awesome. I thought that this would be about the same but was disappointed with the light output.If you have an old bulb type mini, I’d strongly recommend searching for an upgrade to LED unit. The total price, even if you buy a new, standard mini, plus the replacement LED, will be about the same price as buying a new LED mini, but you’ll be amazed by the brightness.

Having owned larger Maglight torches, I decided to buy this smaller one to keep in my caravan. Takes two AA batteries which last for ever, and fantastic brightness. 100% reliability and superb build quality. These are the worlds best torches, not cheap, but worth every penny.

As expected from the Maglite brand, a very good quality torch; even so, I was surprised how bright it is - so be careful using it near traffic, as it could easily dazzle a driver or cyclist.Unusually, it is worth reading the instruction manual (for instructions in how to switch to "dim" and "blink" modes.)

Good torch, has several different functions and is of the quality you'd expect from a maglite torch.

I gave this as a present to my Granny for Christmas so that she can use it to find her dogs in the garden without having to go outside, and have had many good comments about it, including her neighbor asking if we could order her one too!
