Review: Mag-Lite finally got it right... almost. - I've owned Mag-Lite flashlights for 30+ years. Back in the day everyone wanted a Mag-Lite D-cell flashlight because they were tough, they worked great, they were bright, and they were reasonably priced for a quality piece of equipment you could trust. Oh, and American made too. There was also the mini-Mag-Lite, compact, bright, tough, an excellent light except that the bulbs always burnt out. Then the LED light craze came to be, and the market was flooded with cheap light much brighter than Mag-Lite. Mag-Lite responded with models that have 4 "Activity-based" modes and 5 modes within each mode... I'm confused, I just want to turn the darn thing on and have it work! I think the engineers at Mag-Lite looked back and said "You know, the mini-Mag-Lite was a pretty good idea - simple, no external switch, 1 mode, let's just make a new, better, bigger, brighter version of that!" And so they did, hence the ML25LT in 2-cell and 3-cell. Unfortunately they decided to revive the 70's and use C-cell batteries in it. Who uses C-cell batteries anymore? With LED technology flashlights don't drain the batteries, and they end up leaking in the flashlight, I suspect even the C-cells will do this. Therefore I took a different route. I purchased C-cell adapters / converters. These are Parallel (don't get Serial, that will increase the voltage and cause damage) and house 4 x AAA lithium metal primary batteries (I used Energizer Lithium, 20-year shelf life, guaranteed not to leak) and they work great! One pack of 4 for each converter, 5 packs for 2 flashlights, I will probably never replace them! Mag-Lite should sell an option like this! The ML25LT being a new model the accessories don't fit yet, The belt holders are for "C & D" sizes... it's way too loose. The new ML25LT has a smaller head, the old C-cells had a large head like the D-cell. The Red, Yellow and White cones that fit over the light will work, but not well. In the pics I lined up the heads of the two lights and placed the cone over each. It says the fit - really? I want my money back on that one! They're plastic, how hard can it be to make a new size, come on! Review: Perfect size flashlight for general use...could use an increase in lumens - Perfect size flashlight for general use. I got fed up with Duracell flashlights that constantly were dead when I went to use them due to parasitic drain (caused by their button switch), so I bought this, and it sits on my kitchen countertop ready for use. It could be improved a bit like why is it perfectly round so as soon as you sit it down it rolls away? Plus, it could use a bit of increase in brightness to 300 lumens from its 192 lumens. I think 300 is the sweet spot as ensures a good working brightness while giving you good battery life. All-in-all a great light and I will get another once they increase the lumens a bit. UPDATE: 21July2025 - It's true! These flashlights work with low strength batteries even though they are LED. I just checked and my batteries are reading 1.48V on both of my 'C' cell batteries - yet - the flashlight is still functioning. I'm buying another one for the truck. ## Features - Aluminum - Made in the USA - Balanced optics, combining a highly refined reflector with a quality LED, for a brilliant adjustable beam.
