Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mag-Lite ST3D016 3-D Cell LED Flashlight, BlackCustomer Review: Junk Junk Junk Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these; have used each for less than 1 hour of "on" time, and threw both of them out within 3 months of purchase after they became unusable. I keep a light in each car trunk, and due to exposure of heat and cold, eventually a cell will swell up a little (not leak, not fail, just swell). When this happens, you cannot get it out without destroying the light. This is due to too tight a fit between the body and the cell (some cells, even new, fit with difficulty). Since the head cannot be disassembled, there is no way to remove a stuck cell if it cannot be removed from the bottom. So much for a "lifetime" warranty, which excludes damage from cells.
I have a brand x Chinese 3-D LED aluminum flash (with multiple LEDs), which does not have this problem. It has been in a car trunk for over 2 years, with the same set of cells. The head comes off, and there is clearance for the cells. Also, it is 10x brighter, and the bulb(s) are not susceptible to damage like this unit.
This Mag-Lite LED design is a slight update of the original Mag-Lite tungsten 3-D unit, which had the same flaws. C'mon, guys, update your design!!!! Or eventually, the public will get wise, and you will be out of business. I really do want to buy American, but I will not buy any more of these.

If you would benefit from having a theatrical spotlight in your toolbox, buy this flashlight !!
Customer Review: LED is superior ! Summary: 5 Stars
I've been working in the semiconductor business for a long time. I bought this LED maglite coz i know that LED is more energy efficient and durable than halogen or krypton lamp. This is one great innovation in Mag flashlights. Definitely I recommend this product to anyone.
Customer Review: LED much better Summary: 5 Stars
The LED bulb is a much better decision for a handheld flashlight. After a drop of 3 feet most incandesent bulbs will break, but the LEDs are almost indestructable.
Customer Review: LOVE IT Summary: 5 Stars
Its a very heavy duty flashlight that can light up caves completely! Perfect if you want a semi-cheap heavy sturdy flashlight. This is a great product! Maglights are awesome! They can blind people and are heavy enough to knock someone out! Perfect for protection, too! Shine it in someone's eyes and hit 'em. You are safe! BAM
