I love the fact that the latest version of this ALREADY HAS A LANYARD HOLE!!! But be careful, both kinds(the one with and without lanyard hole) have identical packaging so don't forget to check the tailcap if it has a lanyard hole so you know it's the latest version. I got mine DEC. 24, 2010 in Manila, Philippines for Php2,300 and that's $52 and it's a bit pricey because it is imported and taxes are added. But im really impressed they included the lanyard hole and I won't have to worry :)
This is the 2nd generation of the LED mini maglite 2AA. The 3rd generation HAS A LANYARD HOLE and yours doesnt have. Both 2nd and 3rd generations have multimode. The first generation has no multimode and has a 3watt led.
i go camping alot and was gonna get a mini mag light and saw the led and didnt know 2 much about it. which one is brighter and which one lights up the furthest? what do u recomend
@xXxjoemanxXx ...It's been a while since I did this video and haven't carried this Mini Maglite LED for about (6) months now. But, if I remember correctly the LED version is brighter.
I would recommend this light be kept in a pack as a back-up light. and suggest you look into Fenix brand lights. I got three-LD20 (2AA) $69.00, TK11 (2 Lithium surefire batteries) (4) settings $89.00 and TA21 (2 Lithium Batteries)$119.00
Dude, for almost 30 bucks the Mini Mag is so outdated. For that price and maybe 8 bucks more you can get a Quark mini 123 flashlight that has more than 150 lumen turbo mode and is less than half the size of a mini mag. Will fit in your pocket. Maglite really needs to catch up to the rest of the industry...
I have a mini maglite LED that came with my large maglite in a set, but the battery cap is stuck on. I've tried heavy-duty vice grips trying to twist it off to no prevail.
I got one with a green tinted LED, its awesome, they went from blue which washed everything out, to green which made colour regocnition at night so much easier, You will find these on RCMP (Canadian federal LE) duty belts, I find they crap out after a while, I've had one being used for about a year now, and its not 100% relaible anymore, could just be a serial nuber thing though
Yep, was even better on black friday, but they sold out pretty dem quick. Last thing, these come in two versions, the one HZ is showing in video is 2nd generation. First gen did not have the low/high/pulse features and used a different manufaturer of LED.
If you call flashlights torches, what do you call torches? You know, the one they used in which hunts. A stick with a piece of cloth soaked in flammable liquid on the end?
The old Mini Mags worked great. I bet if I go digging in an old gear bag I'll find one or two. Nice to see them come back in LED. Need to pick a few up, check them out, and drop a few in stockings for Xmas. Tks!
Hey man id you buy a normal mini mag an the led upgrade its cheaper. You can pick up a normal minimag for like 8 bucks at wal-mart an the led for about 12-20 pending on where you find it.
Theres also a switch upgrade to put in place of the butt cap to give it multi power options aswell as 2 flash modes.
I knew Mag made LED's(I have one and love it), but I haven't seen the multiple settings. I need to try the "Lamp" feature on mine,,,Yep, It can work as a lamp too!!! But now I have "burns" in my eyes LOL That thing puts out some good light!!!
It's great to see Maglite embracing the newer LED lighting technologies, as well as the development of these technologies in general. They're tougher, as well as more versatile and efficient. Your average guy on the street probably isn't going to own a Surefire, or even a Fenix for that matter, but you can get some pretty decent lights at places like Wal-Mart and Target these days.
Yeah I'm no expert came upon that term while researching for another video.
The brightness of LEDs is measured in millicandela (mcd), or thousandths of a candela. Indicator LEDs are typically in the 50 mcd range; "ultra-bright" LEDs can reach 15,000 mcd, or higher (the 617 nm Luxeon Star (part number LXHL-NH94) can reach 825,000 mcd).

If your in the military or law enforcement, etc. it makes sense, you need a reliable light source.
But if your not....its a bit pricey. I can get a $4.00 LED at the dollar store that will light up a whole fuckin room.

LEDs are measured in lumens too. I've a lot of time looking at light and have never seen the word milllicandela until this video.

Yeah I'm no expert came upon that term while researching for another video.
The brightness of LEDs is measured in millicandela (mcd), or thousandths of a candela. Indicator LEDs are typically in the 50 mcd range; "ultra-bright" LEDs can reach 15,000 mcd, or higher (the 617 nm Luxeon Star (part number LXHL-NH94) can reach 825,000 mcd).
