MagLite K3A986Maglite Solitaire Incandescent 1-Cell AAA Flashlight Purple

I made a mistake and I actually wanted the next larger flashlight. However, the light is well made.

I was looking for a small and lightweight light for my upcoming trip to Anza Borrego where we plan to got for a night trek. Also I wanted a light to try some light painting and some other kind of trick photography.I had heard about the Maglite but had never used any of their lights. Mostly because they are insanely priced. I thought its the best time to try a Maglite which is not very expensive and will serve the dual purpose.Just to clarify many questions, its NOT LED. The light is incandescent.Also many people have asked how many batteries it takes. It takes only one AAA battery and a Duracell AAA battery is supplied with this light.Another feature I liked was the extra bulb provided in the cap. Its a little tricky to get it out of the housing (you need to press the spring in and then pull it out). Innovative !!!!The good features:1. Made of goos quality steel which feels sturdy and durable2. The beam is pretty strong for a light that takes only one AAA battery3. Can be easily focussed or used for a diffused light4. The lanyard supplied with it is of very good quality and can be used to attach the light to bag, etc..5. Extra lamp is supplied in the cap6. The front part can be unscrewed completely to turn it in to a candle light mode for use during camping etc..7. Life time warranty by the manufacturer8. The specifications dont provide the weight. I would say it weighs about 20-25 grams with batteries and lanyard included.The bad:Nothing at all !!! Although I wish it were a little longer and could take two batteries.At this price, I would definitely recommend this light for general purpose and for those who repeatedly need to switch on and off their lights during trekking/hiking.!!!!!!!!!! Worth buying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No regrets !!!!!!!!!!

I use this on my key chain. I provides a lot of light when needed. As long as you keep it off in your pocket, not a issue, it last for several months on a standard battery.

Funcional pero poco potente

It works great but it is not the color ordered.

This is a small flashlight that has a bright light!!! It is great for finding stuff that rolls under the couch or bed. It fits nicely in a drawer or in the car. Just when you need some light.

I normally find Amazon ratings on a product useful. I bought this based on the high ratings of these reviewers you see here. Unfortunately these reviews did not at all match my experience. There are a few reviews indicating the weakness of the beam. These are the valid reviews after my testing for the last two moths. I replaced the packaged batteries originally thinking that no flashlight would have such a weak beam. You turn the tip of the light to turn on and off - you can focus the beam by turning it further, but at no time is the beam of sufficient power. I have used smaller flashlights with far stronger luminance.

Very good product.
