MagLite Mini Incandescent Flashlight – Compact, Water-Resistant, Twist On/Off, 2-Cell AAA Battery-Powered – Black

Needed to replace my blue AAA Maglite. It wasn't performing well, sometimes the tail cap connection was loose and that flashlight was a victim of Alkaline leakage. It corroded the inside and you can even see the paint was dissolved. Anyway, i wanted to make sure i still had an AAA version of the Maglite in case all my rechargeable batteries were dead or in use. I have the AA version as well which only will work with Energizer rechargeables, the Duracells are a bit too big (it might be because it's a specially designed Maglite), i haven't tried the Duracells in these AAA flashlights as of yet, but i don't have the AAA Duracell rechargeables as of yet. The other reason i needed to replace my AAA flashlight is because the plastic front is cracked in the middle. It's a fairly large crack as well but apparently it doesn't seem to affect the light much. There is a noticeable difference but doesn't inhibit the light's efficiency much. Funny thing is after i bought this flashlight i actually fixed the tail cap bottom so the light works without much fussing around. So it's just nice to have an extra AAA flashlight laying around in case of an emergency such as i ran out of bulbs. Don't seem to have that problem now. One thing that i didn't notice when buying this was there is an LED version of this flashlight and that would have been a better buy but this current one was on sale so i couldn't pass that up. There is most likely a kit where you can convert this flashlight to LED so it's not a huge deal right now. I also plan on converting my AA flashlight to LED so it'll be a bit easier on the Energizer batteries when in use. Overall, for a tiny flashlight this provides plenty of light. Also avoid keeping the alkaline batteries stored in the flashlight, either use the packaging or however you store extra batteries. I use rechargeable anyway so there really isn't a need for the alkalines unless it's an emergency, where i don't have any charged batteries, it's nice to keep the alkalines on hand just in case. I however prefer to have extra D sized Alkalines for my 2D Maglite. That flashlight is far brighter and has longer battery life. For these smaller versions, the AA and AAA rechargeables will be the best as you can recharge them 100's even 1,000's of times before replacing those. Get the LSD batteries and you can store those batteries in the flashlight in an emergency!

Unlike the old 2 lumen Mag Solitaire, the Mini Mag AAA is actually a competent little flashlight with adequate all-around performance indoors or out. It's roughly 4x as bright when focused, and requires less fiddling to adjust focus. But it gets even better. The first step to getting the most out of this (or any) light is to throw away the alkaline batteries, and use Eneloop NiMH rechargeable cells instead. That way the light stays brighter for a longer time, because NiMH batteries have a much flatter discharge curve under load. Plus you can stop worrying about battery life, batteries leaking, and wasting money on replacement batteries. The second trick you should do is replace the stock bulb with the LM2A001 Xenon bulb intended for the AA Mini Mag. These can be had dirt cheap online, and it's as easy as pulling one out and popping in another one. Not only does it raise the color temperature from 2800K to a "whiter" 3100K, but because of the smaller filament, the light literally doubles in brightness when focused into a spot. And the spot becomes a tighter circle instead of an oval blob. The trade off is somewhat reduced battery life, but since your first step was to ditch the alkalines for rechargeables, the issue is mostly a moot point. One nagging issue I observed with this light is that sometimes the batteries rattle when the light body is rotated, causing the bulb to slightly dim or flicker as you turn it. A simple solution is to wrap a thin layer of paper around the batteries to stop them from rattling. Some rechargeable cells are slightly thicker than standard AAA alkalines and do not have this problem.

I love this little mag light!!! I constantly need one for work and this fits in my pocket perfectly and it’s bright. It’s just exactly what I need. I am over the moon happy with this flashlight. I’ve always purchased mag light. I have one that’s a little bit bigger, but this one is like the size of my finger. It’s not big at all and I have it in my pocket all day and don’t even realize it’s there. I am so happy. I would definitely recommend this mag light flashlight to everybody it’s terrible water resistant versatile, and you can broaden the range of how big you need the light it has worked for everything excellently I’ve used it for! I love this flashlight 🥰

These new AAA mini maglites are now 13 lumens instead of 9. Be aware of that if you are looking for the older dimmer version of this flashlight. It is also now rated for 1hour 45min because of the difference in brightness effectively making it a smaller/lighter AA Mini Mag just with less battery life. This is because the AA and AAA minimags now share the same xenon bulb interchangeably making it easier to get replacement bulbs. With that said, I can confirm that the AA and AAA are the same brightness(13lm vs 14lm), just with different spread-throw and different battery life(~200% battery life difference)

You can never go wrong with a Maglite! I bought red so hubby might find it easier!!

Is great

Item is as described and works fine; however, I wanted the slightly larger "Mini" Mag and was surprised to see the tiny flashlight delivered. I thought it was a mistake at first but then I realized I didn't see "AAA" in battery description. So, if your wanting the other size, make sure to look at the battery size. These will be put to use as emergency flashlights in the vehicles.

MINI LAMPE DE 13 CM

Excellent torch works beautifully bought as a spare and back up comes complete with 2 AAA batteries delivery was quicker than I expected, well packaged

Neat pocket size torch at good price.

Ottimo prodotto sotto tutti i profili! Meno luminosa della lampadina a led ma comunque valida, fattura e materiali di prima qualità'

This torch is just larger than a pen and is provided with a pen clip so it can be put in a pocket. These are so well made with good brightness - too early to comment on battery life. Even though it's small it's very useful and being so light it's a great "carry everywhere" tool. I bought it for the car but now carry it with me whenever I do DIY jobs.
