Just bought one. If a storm hits and we loose electricity, I know as long as i have D batteries on hand i will have light!
I had an incadencent for over 20 years but corroded batteries seized inside and i had to junk it, broke my heart but i learned a good lesson and i will never leave batteries inside this new ML300. Thanks for a great review!
Thanks for the thoughtful note! Unfortunately, I'm seeing brand new batteries coming out of the package leaking these days, and I'm talking what used to be considered top-end, premium batteries. I've had very good luck with Eveready Fusion batteries, both in terms of life and low (or so far for me, NO) leakage. However, I'd still be vigilant and check them frequently if you leave them in the light. For those lights that I don't use on a regular basis, I just take the batteries out and put them in a plastic container next to the light. And by the way, I have no business association with Eveready.
You can upgrade your maglite with a glass breaker tail cap and a crenelated strike bezel and gorilla glass lense and tenergy nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries no more leaking and corroded batteries
Thanks for the review , I’m will be buying one today.
"may be the very last flashlight you ever have to buy" TRUE jaja tnx for the video!
Thanks for watching!
You'll just go broke feeding it D-Cell batteries...
Outstanding presentation! Extremely valuable information. I’m just thankful that you’re preaching the preparation gospel. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, Brett!
Thank You
Appreciate your review! I have a bunch of fenix flashlights and I like them for the most part.. But what I don't like is having a million LI-ON batteries that can catch on fire. I wanted some flashlights with that can run on normal rechargeable batteries. Also LED lights are very unnatural and bad for your eyes.. Insects don't even go near them. They are quite toxic.. I still use them for flashlights sometimes but for nothing else in the house. Everyone always wants what is "New" New doesn't always mean better or better for you.. I did buy one of the ones you have and two of them in the xenon lights, thanks for your discount code I saved 65 bucks :) I like your cabinets behind you those would be a nice bookshelf :) Thanks
I think the most important thing about a flashlight is its power and battery life. It should be brighter and should light longer distance. Smaller size flashlights are very convenient to use and carry them.
Being waterproof is not so necessary.
Certainly power and battery life are important. But keep in mind that this light was designed to be an all-around emergency light source. As such, it may end up being subjected to some harsh conditions that you wouldn't normally encounter during day-to-day use. For example, during Winter Storm Uri, I was outside in blowing rain and sleet working on a generator, so it was nice to know the MAGLITE was water resistant. Also, having a light that will withstand a drop from a reasonable distance and keep working is quite important when performing any task, ranging from changing a tire to boarding an evacuation vehicle during a flood. The ML300L series of lights are not only bright and powerful, which is useful for seeing hazards at a distance or signaling for help, but will also withstand the rough use and is capable of withstanding blowing rain or splashed water.
Thank you for your comment!
Are the new MagLED robust like the old ones?
Doesn't it help if you don't tighten the end cap completely for storage?
Yep, I am thinking about how I am going to find 123/123a batteries and 8265 batteries when things go bad. There are more strange battery sizes, those are just the ones that affect me currently. I bet I can walk in a lot of places and find D batteries. I am trying to decide between the 3 and the 4 cell. I carried both in college delivering pizza's part time. I could see addresses on houses better with the 4 cell and it made a better impact weapon. I thought anyway, I never used it as such. Diffenitely deserve a subscribe for that.
Yeah, with the cost of lithium going through the roof, those CR123/123A batteries could get very expensive soon!
As far as which one to carry (and I know I'm stating the obvious here), the 3-cell is a bit lighter and fits into a deep pocket easier, but the 4-cell does pack a bit more heft. Of course, MAGLITE sells a belt holder for under ten bucks that would make carrying either one rather convenient.
Thank you for your comment!
These lights are cool (though a tad expensive), but you can comfortably get 250-300ish lumens from a modern 2xAA flashlight, like a 20$ convoy T4, and using rechargeable 14500 batteries in the same light instead, you can get 600+ sustained. More portable, and all the light you'll reasonably need for normal use. Sure, not practical for hitting someone over the head, and of course won't run nearly as long as 3 or 4 D cells, but maybe something to consider as a supplement. AAs are a lot easier to find than Ds.
The Maglite's are good for Distance, small lamps only for inside Building.
Where can I get that cool attachement to turn the torch into a candle? Thanks

@@HaskellMoore thanks 🙏
Can you even change the bulb on this maglite? If it gives out then you basically have a paperweight in your hands... old maglites are way better...
No, you can not. However, the LED emitters are rated at 50,000 hours and guaranteed for ten years. The LED lights are capable of many times the light output of the old technology incandescent bulbs, are far more rugged, and much more reliable.
Does the 1000 lumen mode actually last 5 hours or nah?
No, like all the flashlights I know of, the light diminishes as the voltage drops. Lights with lithium batteries (such as CR123s) are less prone to this due to the discharge profile of the lithium batteries. However, the cost of lithium batteries for the same amount of power (or more accurately, runtime) as a quality alkaline battery is about four times as much. Given that the price of lithium has roughly doubled in 2022, CR123 batteries will probably only get more expensive in the coming months.
MAGLITE uses the ANSI FL1 standard in its ratings, which states "Runtime is defined as the amount of time, rounded to the nearest quarter hour, until output drops below 10%." So as you can imagine, yes, the light will have diminished considerably when you get toward the low end of the voltage curve. The good news is, with the more linear discharge curve of most alkaline batteries, you can actually see the light getting dimmer and change the batteries preemptively as opposed to a light that uses lithium batteries, where the light is fine one minute, and gone the next. Why is this important? Because with lithium batteries, when you take the light into a potentially dangerous situation, the only way to know the batteries are up to the task is to replace them. A friend of mine who works on a SWAT team for a federal agency told me that before each mission, they replace the lithium batteries in their lights just to be one the safe side. So as you can imagine, boatloads of perfectly good lithium batteries get discarded each year. I understand their reasoning behind this, but it really is a massive waste. Conversely, with a light that uses alkaline batteries, you can just turn it on momentarily, and if it's getting dim, replace the batteries. If it's at full intensity, you can be reasonably assured that it's good for the mission.
OK, so probably a long answer to a very short question, but I hope this helps. Thank you for a very legit question, and feel free to ping me with any follow-up questions or concerns!
@@HaskellMoore That is why if I ever going to use the 4d ml300, I'll buy the NiMh rechargeable batteries than buy alkaline. It's like recharge the battery every hour you use the flashlight.
GOOD review but I wish you had just demonstrated it by turning it on especially with the cone.
What can I answer for you? The reflector is very deep and shiny for a long throw. However, the beam can be adjusted to a wide pattern for closeup work. Let me know if you need more info!
@@HaskellMoore NO worries, I own one and it is GREAT!
