Heavy-duty 4 D-cell flashlight
For task and emergency lighting
Powerful, projecting beam focuses simply by rotating the head
Self-cleaning 3-position rotary switch: on, off, and signal
High-strength aluminum alloy case
Bright lights, burly cases, fail-safe on/off switches, virtual indestructibility: there are good reasons to rave about Mag Instrument flashlights. Powered by 4 D-cell batteries, the bright, powerful light adjusts from spot to flood simply by rotating the head. The light is housed in a case made of high-strength aluminum alloy that has been anodized inside and out. This, along with high-quality O-rings at both openings, give you water- and shock-resistance in a lightweight package. Maglite's switches are rubber-coated, weather-protected, and self-cleaning-they're virtually indestructible. In short, this flashlight is almost indestructible-a good quality when it comes to the tools re rely on to help you find your way in the dark. Limited lifetime warranty. Requires 4 D-cell batteries (not included). Includes spare bulb (stored in the end-cap). If you don't think you'll need the extra run time the 4 D-cells give you, see Mag Instrument products #S2D016 and #S3D016.--Josh Dettweiler

My parents gave me one of these (stamped with the Boeing logo-must have been a freebie) when I moved out. Not so much for the giant amount of light it emits making it good for rolling black-outs. Rather, they gave me one so that I might be able to quickly subdue any intruder. Zombies, rapists, thugs, and thieves, BEWARE! The heavy over a foot long weapon would stop anything in it's tracks.
Thankfully I have not had to use it as a deadly weapon. It's served me well through many a blackout, and I imagine would make me a freeze-tag champion if my neighbors were more fun.

This is really a bright flashlight. A classic Maglite product. Made from aircraft aluminum. It is really rugged that it became an issue with the LAPD for using them as a melee weapon. Wife does not want to touch it, it is heavy like a sledgehammer.
Pros:
-It is blinding bright.
-Adjustable beam spread by twisting the head, which is also serves as the on and off switch.
-Well constructed in every detail.
-Water resistant
-It even includes a spare lamp inside the tail cap (under the spring).
-Reasonable price
Cons:
-Uses 4 "D" batteries that makes it so heavy and big. It is a struggle to carry it unless you need it also as a weapon.
-Maglites are somewhat overrated in my opinion.

...it's big, it's a Mag Light and it REALLY works when you need it. I purchased the sturdy clips and installed it inside our key cabinet, so when we need it we just grab it, the keys and go

Yes, you can buy smaller and lighter flashlighs that put out more light and have longer battery life. But...if you are looking for something that is built like a tank AND produces a decent amount of light, then I recommend getting one.
I keep one in my car and one around the house. It is what I carry when taking a walk at night. The Surefire on my belt puts out a lot of light, but you would be hard pressed to fend off a dog attack with one.
