Maglite Mini PRO LED 2-Cell AA Flashlight with Holster Black - SP2P01H

Love these little flashlights! Bright enough for indoor use without draining the batteries for extended use. These are very sturdy and feel good in the hand. Pretty hefty for such a small flashlight and stand up to some substantial abuse! Have used this brand since the 1970s and still have a couple that still work. These LEDs are so much brighter than the incandescence and the bulbs last longer. Do yourself a favor though - buy some GLASS lens to upgrade the plexiglass bulb covers since the brighter models can melt the lens if left on too long. For what you get, these are very much worth the money!

There may be better options out there now, but there's a reason I still went for this brand- familiarity and durability. I carried the old incandescent Maglite mini everywhere I went, and then picked up this LED version nearly two years ago. I have carried this flashlight with me nearly every single day for those two years now and it still works and looks great. It has a few small scuffs, but it doesn't impact performance. Some people ask me why I carry a flashlight, and my answer is that this is much brighter than phone camera lights, it has an independent battery from my phone, so it's not eating into that, I can set it in places I wouldn't want my phone to go, and I can very quickly and easily pull it out and turn it on, way before anyone else can get their phone light on. I love the size of this light and the shape, I like that it takes AA batteries instead of some internal LiPo that will eventually lose all charge and die, however I know that lights that take 18650's exist in plenty now, although this light costs less than many of those. While this light may not be as fancy as some others on the market, the KISS principle really applies, and I like my tools simple and functional. This is simple, this is functional, this is my EDC. It may not be for everyone, but it fits my use case.

This is an excellent flashlight, very well manufactured and very bright, perfect size, 2 AA batteries, the operation is very simple and positive. Good product, Good deal!

So far just love it!!! Kinda wish they used the new push button on their Ultrabright led instead of the old twist on/off. Even right out of the package, for some reason, the light wouldn't light??? Kinda had to twist, twist and twist and then finally. Even now about two, three weeks in, it still doesn't light once in a while and I have to fiddle and twist and then it lights. I've always seen this with the twist style on/off they use on all of their lights...I've got a lot;) It's a connection problem, contact problem, not sure if it's paint on the threads or what, oil even maybe...they need to get rid of this type of on/off finally on all their products...the push buttons on their larger lights is so nice, come on guys.Ok the light...a buddy of mine had just gotten their regular AA LED version and I new I had to make the jump. Well after searching I found out that they have this "Ultrabright" LED version that puts out 226 Lumens compared to 69 Lumens of their "standard" AA LED light and for what, 2 bucks more!! Now I see while trying to get my facts right for this review that they have a 245 Lumen AA led version available....but for almost $7.00 more! I can't see that being worth it for me. Actually, I've almost found this light to...almost be a bit "to" bright! When holding it as a co-worker turns a bolt, pipe ect or what ever it really "shines" almost to bright especially if there is a wall right behind where we're working;) No ones ever complained, I actually point it a little off target to keep from blinding them;) I can hardly imagine that that could be possible but it's true...but I love it;)"Focus", this thing really "doesn't" seem to focus! It's just bright, while trying to use the normal twist to focus, it is only slight and almost imperceptibly changes but certainly not a deal breaker. By no means is the beam "broad and wide but it doesn't get the "tight" pattern that their non led AA mini does ...it would be sweet if they could get the focus working.Except for the twist on/off not always lighting the first time, this is an awesome mini flashlight. It was a little embarrassing when I tried to show it off to my buddy against his new regular led light when I couldn't get mine to light, well, eventually;) Just a note, This light is just a bit "longer" then the regular version, actually about 3/4+ of an inch longer/taller and I have noticed it a few times on my belt against my hip...probably have had the same experience with the regular standard ones but this one a few more times. I've worn the regular version for years now at work every day. p.s, get this thing, I might buy one of those push button kits, lol;) maybe not;)Ok, now after owning the light for several months and now that our company actually purchased them for the guys, a safety thing really. I heard the guys right of the get go complaining about the light, not lighting!! ;) I tried to explain to them that I had the same issue initially and actually still do. A great "bright" light and of course not having to basically ever replace the "bulb", I give it a 95 our of 100 but that not lighting is a darn shame, have to twist the bottom, ect. Not sure if it gets "opened" while in the pouch or what but it sure happens "all" the time ;( Darn Maglight, you guys can do better then this. Again, a sweet light but so darn aggravating ;) Still recommending it for sure but taking a star away, sorry guys, you still have a little work to do on this baby.

Very bright and worth the money spent.Well made and can take some rough handling

Wow, is this light bright! After a recent power outage I decided I should have something better than my big old flashlight or candles and liked the reviews of this light. It is easy to operate and convenient to store, I use it often not only for power outages but for exploring nooks and crannies in my home. I should get one for the car, too.

New LED bulb is excellent.
