Maglite 4D LED - Surefire 6P LED Comparison

[Warpurlgis]

I have a 6D Maglite and hope never to be hit with it.

[rpss1997]

Not exactly ( sorry maglite fans) but if u compare it to a fenix tk60 ( 4d cells also) the tk 60 is a load more brighter.

[benskitv]

Comparison: You throw a MAG-LITE as hard as you can, still perfectly operates due to impact resistance. You throw a surefire in the sky, its falls, looks fine. Won't ever turn on again. Plus some officers use their MAG-LITEs as a baton... Owch.

[angelc0]

Wait till A CPF guy comment on this one..

That SF 6PL was even the old one. Though it is brighter, there are more powerful SF lights. Check their website.

Search a comparison of a Fenix TK70 vs "the BEST" Maglite's. You'll see.

[ElectricDetonator1]

Children. It's a song. Settle down. I feel like no one even watched the video they were freaking out about the music. Go make your own video and put a song YOU like in it, and shut the hell up. Also, Maglite's are the best out there.

[FaganRoberts]

What a goddamn awefull song!

[cooldc129]

noyhing can beat maglite

[cooldc129]

maglite was brighter

[crazyfooInc]

Just to inform you, this comparison is now outdated; Maglite has a new LED in their flashlights now; the Luxeon Rebel. It is MUCH more superior when compared to the Luxeon III used in the Maglite in this video.

[Jeenyus1983]

As a Christian---Obviously I'll defend God any day of the week---but in this day and age---Everybody bags on Christians---so to throw a Christian song on a youtube vid with all the Christian haters tells me---Brian doesnt really care whatcha think!! Right on---Good vid---I'm trying to find a good flashlight for tactical/EDC usage without spending mega bucks....

[FaganRoberts]

@Jeenyus1983 If your all-power god created the universe (and the USA) why would he need defending from a mere sinner such as yourself? The thing is, there's probably no god to defend. So you're just a solution looking for an imaginary problem. What an ego you must have! LOL

[pattymike]

The CHEAPER Surefires are like $70. The 4-D Maglite is $20. Surefires are more technologically advanced, but can u break heads with it? The Maglite is indestructable, made in the USA, and freakin biker gangs dont carry them and call 'em kill lights for nothing!

[stydel311]

is the sunfire a tactical light?

[DAB0690]

What about battery life? I would assume the maglite wipes the floor with the surefire in this category, yes?

[Parbulab]

@DAB0690 Yes, the maglite's runtime is 44 hours to 50%. With basic Duracell alkalines.

[orange70383]

at 1:05-1:07 did you see the small orb appear and disappear into the wall on the left side???

[Fourteen88SoCal]

Maglite

[brainyb420]

i keep a 6d (niteize led) maglight in my car and edc a surefire 6p led, both great lights but for its size and efficiency the surefire is miles ahead.

[deezynar]

Thanks for the comparison! It's very helpful.

[ghegedty420]

Jesus Rocks!

[MrWahoodles]

damn i need to change my 6p's batteries. I forgot how bright it was. :)

[GenKraid]

That was fun! Thanks!

[greenapplekid]

Does anyone know if 4D mag lights are illegal for security guards?

[MrNickj13]

gayest song ive ever heard

[zerosk8ter9]

haha i like the music you added to this

[NFS13EPIC]

help me cAn i use rechargeable batteries on my mini maglite the paper says to use alkaline batteries the rechargeable batteries are 1.2 nd there the bunny lol the alkaline are 1.5 also i have a mini maglite w the old bulb today at walmart i got a new one w the new xenon bulb nd a solitare also has the new xenon bulb so yea ^_^

[dzdz80]

I think this video gives a good comparison between maglite and surefire.

[1980Grafik]

The Maglite makes for a better cosh!

[ATITANIC1992]

MAG-LITE rocks!

[MooseBaker]

Idk witch is really brighter I love the mag all day long. My 1ST choice.

[TheBuffaloChicken]

Maglite's are good for cracking heads! My 4 C cell has cracked a few!!!!!

[florinbaiduc]

Praise da Lord, I also saw the lights - but I still love my Mag 2D Rebel ;(

[RedneckFromMaryland]

Yeah, but you can't wack the shit outta someone with the SureFire.

That MagLite comes in handy for a few extra things :D

[MooseBaker]

@RedneckFromMaryland Lmao I love it, so true!

[ACromartieINT31]

@RedneckFromMaryland uh yeah u can, 6p led defender or e2d defenders have striking bezzles on the tip, surefire all the way !

[xcrimson1234567890]

@RedneckFromMaryland You can however inflict equally devestating injury when you add the Surefire strike bezel.

[pycroft]

@RedneckFromMaryland

ah yes the classic 4cell maglite or " patrolman's corrective " as it's also known....basically a long , heavy metal pipe with a light on the end . spot on john .

[sveikauskovich]

fuckin love my maglite

[eriequiet]

that maglite, what led is it running?. I know there are both maglite leds and 3rd party I just wanna get the strongest led

[maurigian1]

Judging by author of this video text comments either hes in a bad mood most of the time or a just plain @sshole

[mynameizbrian]

No, I just think it's a little dumb for people to comment on a person's song choice in a youtube video. And/or comment on why that person chose said song....when the song mentions light....and it is about flashlights...

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

@mynameizbrian This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

[samtaekwondo123]

@maurigian1 You're an idiot for thinking that. I'm not a religious person, but I'm not "offended" about his music choice; it seems fitting to me since its talking about "light". Just get over what music choice he made & watch the flashlight comparison for which was what this video was made for.

[LifeSizePotato]

For everyone wondering about the song, it's "I Saw the Light," originally by Hank Williams, Jr., and I think this is a version by the David Crowder Band.

[LifeSizePotato]

A few more minutes of searching and it looks like it's from the 2007 album "A Collision." If you search "david crowder i saw the light" on Google, it even lets you listen to the whole song.

[HVBasti]

Hi,

very good video. Can you tell me the name of this song?

[kongso12]

They both suck compared to Fenix

[ChocolateSword]

Anyway, nice song.

[stellwind]

maglite can be modified...if u turn the top ur light point expand till be lighter..like surefire :|

[thomazinjo]

Great vid with nice demonstration! thanks :)

[frommanhattan42]

Is the 4d LED Mag a lot better than the 3d LED Mag?? any big different?

how about the length? how far can the 4d mag reach compare to the 6P?

[Rodrigo2838]

The best D LED maglite line is the 3D LED, its output is 90 lumens.

The 4D must be around 85 lumens.

pretty strange knowing that when it has more voltage the output must be stronger,but who knows?!

[macallyworship]

new maglites work with led, and last a heeeell of a lot more. plus, my dad beat the crap out of a guy protecting my mom with it.

[420bar]

Now Compare Them To A Led Lenser... I Would Say A P7 Just To Be Even With Both Of Your Flashlights.. I Gave away My Mag After I Got A Led Lenser.

[mcfartard]

i have a led lenser v2 with 90 lumens and its a very strong light very good quality easily outperforms many other expensive lights but thats just what i expect from a german product very good quality

[100clipak]

id rather have the strong spotlight

[noaffiliationsfr]

have both of the same exact flashlights, thanks for doing the comparison work for me!!

[dabarsaune]

Nice video, a have mag lite AA its fuckin'good i by it today and its stronger then my 100 watt car light

[vectraB97]

if that is so you your car light are not working..

or are you talking stronger as in lux? my 6v sigma mirageX 5w/20W halogen bike light out throw my led maglite 3d and my 150 lumen tk20 easy.. maglites are weak led lights... not a lot of power(lumens).. only good throw and run time.. fenix tk40 and led lenser x21 have real power.. 650-930lumens..

[woodlanduk]

Maglite LED burned out after 3 months my old krypton bulb lasted longer shit diodes ,rather use my 5W luxeon its not the brightest but for run time size weight and light output its pretty good.

[mynameizbrian]

Honestly guys, it's a 2 minute flashlight comparison video. If you aren't watching it because of the music, you are complete idiots...

[RobbedofLife]

I'm watching it over and over because I love the song. Haha

[counkev]

@mynameizbrian Hey, Brian what exactly would the flood be useful for? When you put it in flood there is a big hole in the middle where there is no light. And how good is this flashlight at lighting up your side views? Cause I like flashlights that light up the side not only in front of me. And since when did they make the 4D LED ? There is only the 2D and 3D LED on the Maglite Website.

Great Video Really Was What I Was Looking For!!

[itchyfingers89]

How many lumens is the Maglite LED?

[djexplosions]

124 lumens

[vectraB97]

where did you get that nr from? my 3d mag led have maybe 5-10lumens more than my old 55lumen fenix l2t.. I think 3D are 60-70, 4D 80-90lumens.. if your talking the 3w luxeon led.. still it only have okey power first 15min.. after that it turns down.. it get`s to hot.. they are not made for leds.. no heat-sink..

[gunfuego]

actually its around 50 according to the candle power forums web-site........

[shmuckling]

I guess if you just want a small flashlight with a good power that's easy to carry in your pocket the Surefire is a good choice. However , at longer distances the Maglite is much brighter , I love the fact that it can really focus a lot of light on a small area and of course it's ability to "drive" trought pretty much anything without even scrathing the paint. That's just me...

[reneir0492]

the people saying mags are the best never handled a surefire.

[Broadcastbuddy2]

Reasons for a maglite:

Cheaper

U.S. Made

If someone wants to hurt you, give 'em a healthy slap with it.

You get a workout when you use it.

[reneir0492]

reason for a maglite :

failed on me twice

surefire never

surefire also US made

you dont need a club when you could have a sunlight in your pocket

obviously you have never owned a surefire. I use to say surefire sucks,but when you get one you will never go back to mags.

[maurigian1]

In my opinion SureFire's are great flashlights ...if you are a hobbyist or a policeman in America, they are ridiculously priced (over $150 for a kind-of-decent one) also the fact that most run on expensive CR123's make them very impractical in a real emergency, if you live in the countryside, and useless if you take it outside the US. Besides who wants to be hunting the net for deals on those $5 a-piece batteries? When I can buy AA or D cells pretty much anywhere for a fraction of 123's

[Yoshark777]

@maurigian1 Go get a Fenix TK40. :)

[thekapow]

the surefire suxx, when you are searching fore something you dint want the light to be so bright that it is completly impossible to see what you are accuatly looking at. thats why the mag wins.. the best light i ever had with me on duty.

[chevylover516]

duty as in like a police or what

[thekapow]

paramedic

[chevylover516]

ah. nice then i can understand why u prefer the mag. i prefer mag for working on a car then a brite lite and i carry a cheapo 35 lum, led flash light for night fishing. but im look into buying me my own mag 3-4D and a mini for working on a car and night fishing

[pjicleanair420]

you must not have ever operated one

[antunkatona]

Are the Surefire flashlights made in the US like Maglite? Have you tried L1 Lumamax?

[mynameizbrian]

I have not tried the L1, but I do have a L2

[ApocalypticRedIX]

Whats with the christian music for a flashlight review

[mynameizbrian]

why does it matter what music I decide to use in my own video? (especially a song talking about light)

[ApocalypticRedIX]

because I said so.

[Ingram]

if i was a security guard i'd carry something like the surefire for light and something else for defense

[stravevane]

Depending on local laws or at the request of the client.. a 6 cell mag-lite is the best thing you are allowed to carry.

[JWK35]

to "lolsmileroflgrin"

the crenellated strike bezel is only on the defender models, (surefire 6p / e2d defender)

they cost a bit more than the stock ones with the flat bezel.

[mikew0821]

That 6p's batteries aren't even full.

[SDSnyper]

I'm not a security guard but if I was I know id rather sacrifice a bit of light and battery time and carry a mag lite rather than a tiny surefire... Would you rather have a pencil or a baseball bat for fighting? seems obvious to me.

[lolsmileroflgrin]

Well, according to Surefire, the 6pd has a " Crenellated Strike Bezel™ for enhanced self-defense capabilities." Judging from the picture, it does look pretty sharp on the edges. Dangerous or not, I don't know. -shrugs-

[nicknnac]

strike bezel or not. Im sure swinging a pound of metal at someones head is far more effective than a hit from a pointy bezel. I'm not taking a hit at Surefire, have them myself. But the light that I have by my door is a 6 D-cell MagLed. Got just over a foot of reach and just as bright. And much cheaper too. I for one feel a lot safer with what is basically a club with a bulb on the end.

[OTEP1234567891011]

well, you obviously haven't heard of the surefire 6pd. it's a better self defense tool than those 2lb. maglites.

[PoliceRescue911]

6D maglite is the best unfortunately doesnt have led lamp for the 6d :/ you must buy a terralux luxeon for it..

[Smauges]

if you hade a maglite 4D or 6D and want even stronger light for it you can buy the optional extra lamp with Xenon, and you will get about 125% stonger light;)

[Smauges]

With the krypton lamp you got 23000 candela, with the xenon you got 36000 candela;) this is facts from maglite!!

[WIKTOR75]

why not go even brighter with an halogen bulb 300% brighter light

[oomskiwoomski]

I wonder why maglite doesn't post Lumens rating.

[oldboy911]

This is David Crowder band playing..^^

[SPARTANB927]

mags can be used as a club (good back up weapon) surefire is one hell of a good backup!

[sinfonico87]

what's the title of this song???:D is very cool!

nice video;)

[rangerdanger222]

Congratulations, you're also the biggest dumbass.
