Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mag-Lite ST4D016 4-D Cell LED Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: Didn't Receive LED version
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this item off of my husband's wish list for father's day. It was processed through Amazon for Andrew Christian, which I assume is an affiliate. The flashlight I received was the standard 4 cell Mag-light rather than the LED version. The flashlight is great, but my husband already has one and really wanted the LED version. We found later that you can purchase an LED bulb upgrade for Mag lights - which is 1/2 the price of the entire flashlight and super bright. If you already own a Mag and just want to upgrade to an LED, that is probably the best route to go. I don't fault Amazon or Mag for shipping the wrong product. In the end we decided to keep it rather than spend more money on return shipping - I'm sure the actual LED version of the light is great - however, beware of buying it from Andrew Christian because you may not get what you pay for.Customer Review: Don't ever buy a flashlight that doesn't say Maglite on it. Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
As always, Maglite has the best flashlight on the market. This review would be longer, but if you've ever bought any maglite before, you know what I'm talking about. The new LED bulbs are supposed to last longer and be brighter, and honestly it seems like it is, but the improvement in battery life is minimal. You really can tell the improved brightness, but it's different than standard flashlights, as the LED is white, not the traditional yellowish light that you get from most flashlights. Overall, great value, the 4 D Cell is nice and heavy, so if you want a heavy one, this is the way to go. It also operates just like any other maglite, you twist the head to focus the beam, so if you need a new, bright flashlight, this is the one for you. You can really tell the difference in brightness at a distance with this compared to the original maglite, this seems to be more powerful and the light beam is useful up to about 150 feet. If you've never owned a maglite, you're missing out, buy one of these or one like it so you can see what everyone else has been using for the last few decades.Customer Review: Excellent brand, Maglite
Summary: 5 Stars
These flashlights are the best. They will take all the abuse you can give them. I do recommend the LED upgrade.Customer Review: Good but 3D LED MAG better
Summary: 4 Stars
I have 3 LED MAG lights, the 4D cell, 3D Cell and 2D cell. Of the three the 3D Cell gives the brightest light ... the other two have a similar brightness.
Tried the 3D Cell LED by Newton ... doesn't even compare ... more of a novelty ... MAG lights are of very good quality.
Customer Review: Great Classic Maglite
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, I knew about the "black hole" problem people complain about. All Maglites have this. In my opinion, a Maglite only works well when the beam is set to spotlight. If you want a flashlight that floods well, I would look at something else. This is a great light to keep bedside or in your trunk, since it doubles as a weapon if you need it to. If all you want is a bright flashlight, you can find much smaller options that are even brighter. Another reason Maglites are great is that you can drop them, submerge them in water, pretty much abuse the heck out of them and they just keep on working.
