Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mag-Lite ST4D016 4-D Cell LED Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: Powerful
Summary: 4 Stars
For such a small LED it has quite a powerful beam in the dark, it doubles as a defensive weapon with it's size and weight, many are in awe for me having a "police" flashlight, to me it's just a wonderful toy, I couldn't have chosen a better one!Customer Review: Pure gold!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product does not require very many words. It is the best flash light I have ever owned. I recommend every one buy one and keep it by their bed. If the lights go out you have the means to light up the night. If the lights go out while some one is breaking in. Then you have the means to light up the night and smack the crap out of some one. This light has a little weight to it and its metal so its doubles as a weapon of blunt force trauma and an outstanding light source.Customer Review: Puts a lot of light on the subject
Summary: 4 Stars
Case is lightweight with no batteries. After you put the 4 "D" cells in, it is satisfactorally heavy. Could be used as a nightstick or to fend off wild animals.
The push on/off switch is rubber guarded and easy to use.
Whenever you use the outer lens ring to expand the beam, it leaves a dark spot in the center where there is no light. I downgraded it one star because of this.
I comes with an extra bulb that is stored in the flashlight body.
I would anticipate the LED bulb will last a very long time.
Be aware that department stores sell a similar model that has only a standard bulb. The LED model puts out more light with less battery drain. The light is bluish-white on the LED model.
Customer Review: Quality Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone whose life or safety, depends upon their ability to light up the night, will want a professional grade product. My "work-horse" is a Streamlight SL-20X, w/ a SL-35X lamp, throwing out 40,000 candle power. Exactly what I need to be able to see someone trying to run from me or hide in the shadows. For close quarters, I prefer the Streamlight Stinger w/ a Terralux LED upgrade package. To back them up, I keep a Surefire 9P modified to chamber 4 CR123 batteries and fire a 12V Xenon bulb. In my toolbox, for use when I'm crawling in sub-basements, attics, & under cars, I keep a Streamlight SL-20XP LED & Streamlight PolyStinger LED.
Starting to get the idea that I won't leave anything stock or OEM? Can't wait to hear about how I added "more power" mods to my car, my gun, my computer, my gold teeth.......even my jeans sag more than the next guy!
Now lets talk about the Maglite. Sort of like stepping down from a muscle car to a Honda, right? I've also got a set of Snap-On tools, but none-the-less still buy junk from Harbor Freight.
A couple of weeks ago, I found an old Maglite in my garage. Had it from when I was a kid. The batteries had exploded and leaking acid ruined the entire sleeve & switch assembly. Since I had a sense of humor, and an extra $4 in "forever" stamps, I wrapped this thing up in a Streamlight box and sent it back to the Maglite warranty center. Within a couple of weeks, a brand new Maglite came in the mail. Maglite stands behind their product. They are serious about that lifetime warranty. You can't beat that, period.
A flashlight that you can own forever (if you don't lose it) for all of $10!
I've seen mine dropped from ladders, down hiking trails, off the top of a 6 foot fence....you name it, all sorts of heights. Sure, the bulb might break. You may even crack the lens. But you won't break the metal casing or the switch. Even if you drop them in water, you can dry them out, change the batteries, and still use them again.
As Hanukkah approaches, I've already decided to give all the kids Maglites this year. Just like I had when I was a kid. Back then, you were on top of the world if you had a Swiss Army Knife & a Mini-Maglite. Even as an adult, I can't go anywhere without a Leatherman Tool & Surefire G2 Nitrolon.
Not very bright. Cost of batteries will add up real fast. Starts off brighter, then dims & fades. Poor beam pattern with dark spots from filaments out of balance.
But still the best value for an all purpose light. Great to keep around in the kitchen drawer. Excellent for kids. Can't be beat for camping & fishing.
