I've Maglite AA - 16 years without any problems. 2D and solitaire are also solid products. Bought 2AA Led 2 months and soon noticed that it does not work with rechargeable batteries! while the industry is generally moving towards more sustainable and "green", the Maglite seems to move elsewhere...
Now, it seems that the AA Led is dead - even the alkaline batteries don't work.

I have had many mini may lights...it seems that when one fails, I find my "extras" and piece together a good one. I don't know where all these circuit boards, transformers and fancy swithches are but mine are simply a straight circuit and if all the physical connections are being made, it works. I can make a good led light light with only one aa battery so low voltage is not an issue...just good connecitons everywhere. There's a connection on the back of the bulb holder and the other connectio ...- Read Guest's review (133 words and 1 comment)

Thanks to reviewers below - The best advice I saw: It's not the switch! Change the batteries!
Dead batteries don't "look" the same with LED's as they do with plain old flashlights. Once your batteries get drained pretty low, they might have just barely enough voltage to get the LED to light - and then voltage drops, and the LED goes out. It's intermittent because with no load, your battery picks up just a little bit of voltage again, and the LED fires again, voltage drops again, the LED goes ...- Read Guest's review (101 words)

There are a few things that some of you complaining about the "switch" should consider. First, the FAQ on www.maglite.com for the Mini Maglite LED Flashlight 2-Cell AA addresses most of these concerns. Also, you may not be aware that the light has four modes; 1) on, 2) half power, 3) flash, and 4) SOS. If you turn the light on and then off and back on quickly it will be in half power mode. If you turn it off and back and again quickly it will flash. Do it one more time at it will flash 3 t ...- Read sj586's review (195 words)

the Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt has an unreliable switch which cannot be accessed to fix. Hence alway fiddling with the bulb holder to get it to turn on eventually. Once on it usually stays on.
Not the guaranttee you think it is.- Read Guest's review (46 words)

Wow, this Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt is taking a beating here. I've had (2) identical silver ones, the original 2-mode (on-off) models for almost 2 years and they both perform flawlessly. I got them for a discounted price of around 20 bucks at the time which isn't cheap, but the price is justified. It was the same price as a 2D or 3D, but it's 55 lumen light output places it squarely between the 2D's 36 lumens and the 3D's 76 lumens. The 15-lumen non-LED 2AA Mini-Mag, even at 1/2 the price ...- Read jk3125's review (488 words and 1 comment)

I just fixed mine!Yes the design of the Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt switch on this light is poor. I really like it's size and the amount of light it puts out. So, I would constantly torture myself by trying to use it with the flickering and twisting. Finally, I resigned to the fact that it was junk and tore into it. I used a hair-dryer to heat up the outside metal casing and then pushed on the metal tabs on either side of the bulb with a pair of needle nosed pliers to disassemble.Th ...- Read oneton's review (351 words)

I dont know what lights these other folks reviewed but the
Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt is superb.
The mini LED has NO switch. It is very long lasting, durable , has a very powerful beam and takes a ton of abuse. I use it for geocaching and it is always in my pack. My comments are for the 3 watt LED light. I need a light that uses AA batteries so that it is compatable with the batteries for my GPS and FRS tramsmitter. It is slightly more expensive but well worth every penny. ...- Read Guest's review (110 words)

I purchased a Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt because I thought that Maglite was a quality brand. Unfortunately, my experience with a bad "switch" doesn't seem uncommon at all. I have to twist it back and forth, change angles, pull up, and pull down.. .. just to get it to produce light for a few seconds. I wish they had just put an on/off button on this expensive piece of rubbish.- Read Guest's review (86 words)

I have 2 Solitaire Mini Maglites and they both do not work after minimum use. Sometimes they work intermittently . I have removed tail end cap cleaned steel parts with alcohol. Same intermittent problem sometimes if the cap is half screwed on light works BUT mostly they do NOT work. Good points are small size and tough case- Read Guest's review (56 words)

i have went through 3 of these led lights. when the batteries go bad and flickers you shake it like you would the bulb light and you damage the components inside the led unit.
since then i have switched to the streamlight stylus pro.
it is as bight as the mini mag but the light display isnt as big around..and also it will fit in your pocket nicely.
the streamlight stylus pro is made with military specs.
at work we all are using this light now. and ordering more.- Read Guest's review (89 words)

The Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt started flickering after less than two months. I complained and they were surprised as if I was the first one with failures. I tried 3 different ones with same issue.
I will never buy maglite again, unless they give me my money back.- Read Guest's review (49 words)

NOTE: if you think your "switch" has failed, it is probably the batteries. I had the exact same experience as many here, with the Mini Maglite only staying on for a few seconds, a quick flicker and dead, would come back on for a second or two if I twisted the switch, etc
Before tossing in the garbage, I tried a new set of batteries. It worked perfectly and the "broken" switch was magically fixed.
What is happening is counter-intuitive to those of us who've used incandescent flashlights for a f ...- Read mgotts's review (233 words and 1 comment)

Looking at the reviews the problems is Maglite not communicating how their products work!The bulb is rated at 3w for both AA and C.D cells - so will draw the same current regardless. Bigger batteries = longer battery life.Using a rechargeable AA for argument's sake rated at 1800mAH means that two batteries in series can run to provide 3v at 1800mAmps for one hourA 3W led consumes 1 amp (1000 mAmps) at 3 volts so the torch should last about 1.8 hours only. Obviously this is a back of an envelope ...- Read Guest's review (122 words)

As a tech i wanted to see if i could figure what is going wrong with my aa led maglights so i took one apart.
there is a tiny surface mount transformer the size of a small watch battery that was loose inside. it look like it was not mounted good enough or one side came loose and shaking the light to get it to work shook the transformer off completly from the board. i took another light apart and same thing.
if they had glued everything inside this would not have happened. i think i will go to a ...- Read photojon's review (184 words)

Excellent flashlight during the first set of batteries. Unrepairable. Unreliable. Certain to fail. Don't buy. Great light source that is focusable. The non repairable switch is certain to fail sometime during only the second set of batteries. This is my second and final LED mini mag. This has happened to other people I know also.- Read Guest's review (55 words)

You would be hard pressed to find a avid outdoor or hunting person that doesn't own at least 1 Maglite. They are reliable and hold up to lots of abuse, I have 2 others a 2D and a 5D the 5D I've owned for about 15 years and never had a problem ( other than bulbs found almost anywhere ). People can argue as to their dated design but I would bet this or any other Maglite will be around long after the other fancy looking ones are in the garbage.- Read Jpringlemn's review (163 words)

This company is falling far behind the competition. In a market it once dominated it's products are consistently outshone buy it's competitors. At this price (mrrp) it's competing with Fenix and LED Lenser, both offering superior products for the same money. I bought one recently for £17 (rrp is £40) and had high expectations due to my fondness of the brand. I was left disappointed. I'm hoping it will fail soon as the other reviews suggest so I can get a refund. The original MM loo ...- Read Gedster's review (196 words)
