Worth every penny September 29, 2000

As a 10 year aircraft maintainer in the US Air Force, I've used everything from standard Mag-lites, scuba divers' lights, and even penlights in a pinch. I can say this flashlight is brighter than any other I've used. It cuts my inspection time in half because I can see things 55 feet off the ground just like it was right in front of me. Don't be fooled to think a rechargeable battery pack isn't as strong as standard alkaline batteries. This isn't the case. I wouldn't trade this flashlight for anything!
This MAG is a lifesaver! June 18, 2000

As a police officer with over twenty years on the job, I can honestly say this MAG is the best flashlight in the business! I've used nothing else for the last twelve years.It's candle power turns the darkest area into daylight. The light's design makes it possible to keep the light held under the arm easily when both hands are busy, supplying a continuous stream of light. This is the perfect flashlight for camping--it takes drops and banging effortlessly and lives to shine another day! I'm ordering a second one to keep in my car. It's easily kept charged with the lighter adaptor.
Rugged, bright, durable, reliable January 20, 2008

I've been working night shift highway patrol work for going on 19 years. I am still using the same rechargeable Mag Lite that I was issued in 1990 (the same model as listed here). I've worn out half a dozen squad cars, and received a new mounting/charger bracket with each new car, but always kept the same flashlight. I've had to replace the little rubber button over the switch a couple of times as my thumb wore through it finally. But the light is the same one I was originally issued.
It is very, very bright and completely reliable. It has been dropped (if you drop it switched on, it will probably knock the bulb dead), submerged, chilled to 17 below and 150 above, and switched on/off literally tens of thousands of times. It's had a few high speed rides outside laying on the air intake below my windshield wipers. I've knocked out car windows with it, have used it as an impact weapon, and have even used the butt end for a hammer. I've worked numerous squad car crashes, and have never seen an instance of a MagLite that has jumped out of its mounting bracket due to a crash. There is room in the endcap to keep a spare bulb tucked in a piece of foam or napkin.
The bulb lasts a long time and is easily replaced. The battery stick lasts a long time (about 2 hours on a charge)and it's as easy to replace as changing any flashlight battery. If you use the light for public safety work (police, fire, EMS, security), and keep it in your in-car mount/charger bracket, you will likely never see it go dim . . . until it reaches end of life, which is every couple of years with heavy use.
It's big enough to use for self-defense, and can easily be carried on a duty belt by slipping it though the handcuffs carried there, or you can use a ring made for that purpose, or just slip it inside your beltline behind your back. And (this is important) it is big enough to be carried by tucking it under your armpit, thus leaving both hands free. You can't do that with small flashlights. It's also big enough not to be easily lost in the grass in the dark, like some of the hi-tech mini flashlights.
I liked this light so much that about 10 years ago I purchased another one out of pocket and mounted the charger on the workbench in my garage. That has turned out as equally successful as my shop flashlight.
When you buy this kit, you'll get ONE charger/mounting sleeve that you can mount in either home or car, and they include the proper electrical hardware to power it up by plugging into either home or car power sources.
That's my experience. This thing is a workhorse and I consider it a "partner" at work. I highly recommend it.
Better than what I expected June 11, 2000

My company bought one of these Mag Lights and I didnt expect much from a rechargeable light . Wow was I wrong , This light is better than any dry cell flashlight ever made . This is more like a spotlight on a police car with 50,000 candle power. We use this light all the time in an Industrial enviroment where it gets greasy a lot, and this has led it to be dropped a time or two, none the less it has never failed to operate like new.. The rechargeable feature on this light is so handy. We just hang up the light at the end of the day in its cradle and it is ready for hard action the next day ...
GREAT DURABLE FLASHLIGHT September 3, 2004

I bought this flashlight about 18 years ago. I am a police officer and have worked many nights. The flaslight has been banged around and dropped numerous times. It was sent back to maglight once after about 5 years of use for a defective switch. Maglight fixed it for free. I had to buy a new battery stick twice due to the battery losing its ability to charge. The new stick cost about $16. A full charge usually last me a week of doing midnights. Now that I work days the charge lasts for months. The only down side is tha it is large and heavy, but I would not replace it for anything else. If you are looking for a extremely bright and durable flashlight, this is it. I just wanted to add that after about 18 years of use the charger cradle stopped working. I sent it to Maglight and they fixed it for free again. Now that is the way to stand behind your product. I see alot of people raving about surefire flashlights and putting maglight down. Well I've been a Police Officer in the Bronx for nearly 20 Years now and using the same rechargeable Maglight. It has been banged around and looks it, but it still works like new. I paid about $100 18 years ago and now it sells for $85. Lets see your $200 surefire after 18 years (I don't think so).
