Nice lights, can't wait for my nitecore EZ AA to come in. The maglite does pretty well with the led upgrade. I had one years ago (6 D with an incandescent bulb), got rid of it for an 80 lumen 2AA led light. I think the new led ones put out over 100 lumens. Just wish they'd develop an in house led capable of 300 lumens or more. The new maglite xl series shows hope, but for now they only top out at 104 lumens.
@ericssson Don't forget they are a third of the price, and unless you are military when are you going to need a light that bright. It is nice to have but it's just a luxury to have.
@ericssson I know several. Hell, my brother carries a Surefire. The are ISSUED Surefire in his unit in the Air Force. If they have the money for Surefire lights, they damned sure have the money for Fenix.
@ericssson That depends on what you are doing in the wild, a phoenix will do you know more good in the dense forest because it will just b blocked by the trees. Maybe it would in a desert or the great plains. My point was the price difference and you said it, a Fenix is an expensive light. Three times the price of a maglite LED.
@quest8899 there is a point in which you can obtain the wider beam without any black hole in te middle, use that point unless you want to light a distant point, in that last case you'll need the more concentrated possible. I have upgraded my maglite 3D using the Terralux led quit and now it is much better, even with a really big runtime (the time it brights with the same batteries)
SINCE THE CAMERA AUTO-BRITE ADJUSTED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE ALL THREE ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SIDE-BY-SIDE FOR COMPARISON.

The Maglight may be a crummy flashlight but it is a hell of an "impact" weapon.

They measure their brightnesses differently though, so you don;t know exactly which is brighter unless you have a lumen measure or something

I know exactly which is brighter. Just not to what extent.

i bought a maglite 3d and when i rotate the head it turns black in the middle, is something wrong with it
quest8899 2 years ago
There is nothing wrong with it. Its a variable focus. The other two in this video are fixed beams.
