Do you think there is a possibility of an eight-cell Maglite being sold one day?

Doubtful. 6-cell is pretty heavy piece to swing accurately and is correct length for forearm blocking manouver. 8-cell would require 12V bulb in both correct form factor and critical filament distance from C/L of filament to flange for the focusing feature to work. If MagLite saw a market demand, they'd have already made it. Cop-market trend is to smaller, more PC flashlights that are intentionally useless as a baton. Cheers!

I upgraded my MAGLite 3-Cell D Flashlight. It provides a bright light indeed.

Maglite gives a warranty with their flashlights. The information was in the package or I'm sure you can go to the website.

Do.Not. Buy at this price!!!!! The person who sold me mine will have more at $30 very soon. Just let me buy my 8 first, ok? ;-)

As long as it's a 2 or 3 D Cell Maglite it should work. Mine was from the early 90s, I don't believe they've changed much.

I think Maglite has a great reputation for quality products and service. They repaired one of their flashlights that was 15 years old for me at no charge. I have found them Dependable in law enforcement and emergency med applications. I'd go with the proven products!

I believe the $10 one listed is a fake. All, ALL Maglites are made in the USA. Maglite does not offer a LED lite with a low 14 Lumen 5 hours runtime lite. This must be a fake, or something fraudulent with a incandescent light.

It probably would work great but there are a lot less expensive flashlights that put off as many lumens for a lot less money. One example is the Cree which you can buy for one tenth the cost. All this said, I love the Maglite XL200.

That's the problem with this flashlight. They don't offer a replacement bulb. They should publicize this fact before anyone has to buy this item.

In my 'unqualified opinion' they certainly seem to be. They drive my flashlight with 7 T-6 emitters and that puppy gets hot enough to cook, or even start a fire (No, I've not ignited stuff, but then, it gets darn hot darn fast.) The batteries have PCB protection, so they hopefully protect themselves from exploding, thankfully. I'll put it this way, the amount of energy they dump appears to be on the order of a rather bright car headlight. I cannot advise about 'vaporizing' as such, however, with an inverter to a charging circuit with enough capacitance and inductance mated together, it'd surely be possible for them to be a source for enough energy to be 'charged up and dumped at will' quite handily. Think 'super stun gun,' but with one big bad jolt at higher amperage.

I have Nite Ize in both a 2-D cell Maglite as well as a 5-C cell. I really have not used them enough to draw an accurate comparison. I do recall that the 5-C cell, when I used it regularly with a halogen bulb, would eat batteries like crazy. The Nite Ize does seem to give a lot more bang for the buck. Sorry I cannot give you a more definitive answer.

Yes it would. I have 6 that I would be willing to sell if you are looking at buying them.

I used it to upgrade my 3x D Maglite from incandescent to LED. Worked for me!Considering the package says it works in all C and D cell Maglites, I can't see you having a problem!

I would imagine not. 14500 run at &#8776;3.7 V. You stick two of those in your maglite, you are going to be running 4 times what this bulb is designed to run on. Perhaps if you could make a dummy battery so you run on only one, it might work.

Yes, and they will make it brighter and last longer. This is the best pocket flashlight you'll ever get don't hesitate.

I don't think they have been discontinued as they are still available from Homelite. We continue to get them in any quantity we want. I think it's a mistake on the listing.

Seven and a quarter volts will damage the LED system in a three volt flashlight. When in doubt ask Maglite.
