Turn it on and see the light with this Mini Maglite. Just twist the flashlight head and you can change the beam from spot to flood, positioning the light exactly where you need it. It's anodized inside and out for improved corrosion resistance and durability, with a self-cleaning switch that virtually eliminates oxidation. The high grade O-rings at each opening ensure resistance to water and shock while the low resistance circuitry allows a more efficient use of the batteries. This flashlight also includes a candle mode feature for convenient, hands free light. The diamond-knurled grip helps you hang on to it in tight spots, and the spare lamp in the tail cap may be just what you need to get out a dark situation. Your purchase includes a key ring and two alkaline AA batteries. Manufactured in the United States. Color: silver.

Summary: bike Flashlight & Co.
Comment: Cheap, agile little Flashlight that is great for taking on long bike rides in the dark to use for fixing bike, etc. I dropped it twice on the cement and now it doesn't work sometimes, don't know if it was damaged but still a decent product.

Summary: Great gift idea
Comment: I bought several of these as gifts for the guys at work. They are a great small sized flashlight.

Summary: Handy and inexpensive
Comment: My old black Mini Mag lite finally died, so I was looking to replace it.
This (cheapest) version of the Mini Mag is shiney silver, which I am now getting used to after having the black one. It comes with 2 Dura Cell batteries, a spare bulb, and a black woven nylon holster.
There is a hole drilled through the end cap to allow you to put a cord on it and/or hang it on a nail, I guess.
While it does not focus into a perfectly round smooth beam, it is round and smooth enough for general use. You can spread out the beam if desired, or even remove the head and use it as a holder for the "candle mode" - just the handle pointing up with the bare bulb on top - to, say, illuminate your whole tent for a minute.
No doubt you can put a $15 conversion bulb in this $10 flashlight and make it a $25 flashlight, but why bother?
The only minor complaint I can find is the holster can not just slip onto your belt - you must thread your belt throught the flat loop. This could be a good thing as well, though.
I bought two.

Summary: Best Little Flashlight in the World
Comment: I have several of these Mini MagLites. They're solid, well-made, great little flashlights, with extra features: beam focusing (just twist the head), spare bulb holder (inside the rear cap), and a candle mode (take the head off and it becomes a base for the barrel).
I've only had one fail, and that was my fault (I didn't check the batteries in one that was kept in a drawer and an expired battery leaked).
Why do I own several of these? Well, you've got to have one in each color, right? Seriously...
I keep one in the center console of my car. It's great for old eyes looking at a map or directions at night, when the dome light just isn't quite enough. It's also a help for a quick look under the hood, in the trunk, or under the seat. Of course, I keep a regular Mag-Lite in the trunk, too.
I keep one in my office desk in case of a power outage, or when the timed lights go off in the evening, or for digging around in the computer or copier.
I keep one by my home computer for those times when you have to go poking around inside.
I keep one in the headboard of my bed, again in case of a power outage. I learned my lesson in the 1994 Northridge earthquake; it was still dark and the power was out, and various and sundry things had fallen on the floor -- it's no fun walking around in the dark with bare feet when there's lots of stuff scattered about.
There are a couple of others (kitchen and garage), just to have around.
Just remember to check the batteries every few months, and when the bulb burns out and you use the spare in the rear cap, replace it before you forget (Mag Instrument LM2A001 Replacement Lamp for AA Mini MagLite, 2-Pack)!

Summary: Perfect, but not LED. Yet.
Comment: To start, I'm a tradesmen who has to carry his lifelines on his belt. Not only on the job, but I'm also the unnofficial handyman of this apartment complex. Every time I even move to take my workbelt off, it seems to be a signal for a neighbor to bang on the wall saying something is on fire or won't open all the way. And the Mini Mag is the universal flashlight. It's sold everywhere, including this fine site and even family stores, and despite its legendary quality and design, is at the most ten dollars with included holster. I prefer the classic AA design, where CAN'T you find AAs? I've used one of these on my belt for about four years. It's an excellent tool, and I've never had one wear out on me. The bulbs, however, are the Achilles heel. The rest of the flashlight is military, police and trade quality, for civilian price. But these dang bulbs go orange after a couple weeks and last a couple months of casual use. I was considering shelling out forty bucks for a small LED, just to save the money on bulbs.
Then, walking through a sports outlet, I passed the flashlight section. And next to the usual Mini Mag with holster, which I own close to six of, was a Nite Ize accessory designed for this same flashlight. An LED bulb. Now, I've seen these online for about twenty to thirty bucks, and this is a ten dollar flashlight! But this one just sitting around on a shelf was eight bucks, about a buck less than the flashlight's shelf price. What the heck, I got one. To quote another review, my trusty old Mag is now a state-of-the-art torch, with nearly triple battery life of the old bulb. And LEDs, as all Mag-haters know, don't burn out or even go out when bumped.
So, for a total of twenty bucks, you get an American-quality LED beam that competes and plain out whips fifty-dollar imports with plastic casings. I wouldn't recomend this flashlight if there wasn't there was a way to fix its biggest flaw. Just get your hands on this LED adapter, and put it in like you would the standard bulb. Replace the mirror reflector, and stomp the old bulbs into powder. You won't be needing them, ever again. There's also a combo pack availiable, for the same price, that includes a push-button adapter if you've ever wished you could tap a red button on the end instead of twisting it on and off. I haven't tried it, but it comes with the LED, and for eight bucks?
And hey, the flashlight itself comes in six different colors. These things are easily replaced if one gets banged up or your room-mate/girlfriend draws all over it with Sharpie while she's on the phone. I've had these work perfectly even they have been through Hades and back, but some prefer a more formal-looking flashlight. Just take the LED out and put it in the new one, those bulbs last forever. And now, so will this flashlight.
