Maglite St2D016 Led 2-Cell D Black Aluminum Flashlight

I have used many flashlights over the years from very expensive ($300+) ruggidized Mil-spec lights to super cheap generic ones and just about everything in between. Out of all of them this one is my absolute favorite. To me it is an incredible value for a mid power LED flashlight. MagLite has made some of the best most durable flashlights for a long time and now that they have LED tech they are almost perfect. Many people do not realize all of the benefits that LED flashlights bring like the fact that you will essentially never have to replace a bulb. They are Impact resistant and they make batteries last so much longer. I can't say how many times I have had bulbs on normal flashlights burn out on me at very inopportune times leaving me fumbling in the dark. I would recommend this flashlight to everyone I know from my grandmother to my son. It is the perfect balance of size and power and an ideal item to keep in an emergency kit in your home or car.

This is a good flashlight to rely on for it's durability and brightness. It provides a nice solid beam that you can see at night, almost like a light-saber. However, I accidentally dropped mine one day and it loosened the power switch of the flashlight, making it rattle. And the D-Cell batteries drain like crazy, even when the flashlight isn't powered, but that only takes months so it isn't an issue. To use as a primary flashlight, I highly recommend it.
