Maglite Review

Review of my maglite 6 D-cell flashlight. Very good light, would be better if i had a more powerful LED in it, but it works for how much i use it (very seldom).

im thinking of modding one of these by putting two mag charger batteries in it, yes they fit. Then the only thing I have to do is find a light bulb that will handle 12v

[CTFD13]

that shouldnt be too hard, go to auto zone or radio shack, they should have a bulb capable of handling that. might take some modifications in the housing, but it could work.

iv got one of these, i keep it in my car for protection

[CTFD13]

it deffinately does that. its almost diabolical with the weight and power of one of these when swung.

alright mate, LED's are ok for battery life but for decent performance you want a Magnum Star Xenon Bulb upgrade (about £5) and it'll partially blind people!

[CTFD13]

haha, thanks, ill bear that in mind. i really dont use it all the time, hardly at all actually, i have other flashlights i use, but thanks for mentioning it!

THAT is not a flashlight, but a BASEBALL BAT and should be used as such!

Try a TerraLUX 3 LED Upgrade. They cost $100, but you get a 700 lumen flashlight. (For comparison, the standard krypton bulb gives you about 40 lumens.) You can find them on Amazon for $60 if you're lucky.

flasaholic's opinion: insted of getting an extra bulb, get a difrent light like a 4Sevens. i have a quark aa2 (207 lumens) or drop a cool $200 on a torch by wicked lasers. the torch is around 8100 lumens and can ignite paper and cook eggs.

@dritb4 Haha!!!...I never shine/test my lights in my yard from my balcony, just because of what the neighbors might think. I´d like to, believe me... but I don´t want the neighbors to call the police... I usually test them, in the outskirts, in the woods, where It is very dark...at this time of year.

It's a brilliant flashlight, have a 6 D myself. I am strongly considering getting an LED upgrade though, them incandescents eat through batteries (even duracell) and at the price of batteries (about 17 euro for 6 duracells), it will have to be done. With this monster you are wasting your time with cheap batteries! Good review.

I am willing to spend 6 dollars on my flash light i am going to buy, a total waste of money, but i am going to show it off to friends and what not. 45ish $ on flash light, then 15 ish on upgrades.

[krauserkiller365]

@dritb4 yeah, i do that too, but everyone has their crappy neighbors :P

[xBADxB4NDITOx]

i love my 6 cell but i HATE buying batteries 13 dollars for 8 then i have 2 left over

55w halogen h3 but it would probably melt the lens!

[sandfordmill]

the only thing i dont like about it is the batteries rattle about when you swing it.
