Good Points: Good bright white light. Pocket size. Solid build.
Bad Points: Fast cut-out on low battery can be frustrating.
General comments: Unfortunately I lost mine last week somewhere on the Pembrokeshire coastal path so I have ordered another one. These can be good value for money if you shop around carefully. The light will cut out rather than fade when the battery is low, which is frustrating at first, but is not a frequent problem if you use decent batteries. Mine worked a treat with Uniross Hybrios but not so well with my older rechargeables.

The Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 is an excellent flashlight. Like many here, I had mine for a few months, but then it started flickering and sputtering; I thought it was broken, and was on the verge of sending it in. Then I replaced the batteries. I guess with a LED, it's hard to remember that the batteries need to be changed every now and then; also, rather than dimming, the flashlight just dies when the batteries are low. Seriously, all of you who've thrown your LED MiniMags in a shelf because t ...

My 3 watt Maglite Mini Maglite led will not stay on-just flashes or flickers for a moment then nothing. Apparently the switch is bad. Only used it a few times and not cheap either. Better performance with the Hong Kong 3 watt models on eBay for 1/3 the price.

Visiting this site a few hours ago I read a number of comments that were I identical to my own experience. I had put my own maglite aside as broken.
Subsequently, visiting maglite's official site to give a those people a piece of my mind, I learned the problems we had all been having were not problems at all. Maglites are deigned to stay at full brightness, rather than dimming as the batteries get low. The light flickers and eventually quiets altogether because the batteries can no longer pro ...

Maglite Mini Maglite LED 2 AA 3 Watt review - Nice light at first, but the same problems as previously listed by others. Light does not stay on, flickers, or just doesn't turn on at all. It would be nice of there was a fix available online, but haven't found anything yet.

Don't waste your money on this Mini Maglite LED. I traded it in for a new one and the second one lasted only one month. I use it for work and I can't even use up one set of batteries in it before the switch goes bad.

Nice bright light and feels well made (though it isn't). I'm only relieved I bought mine in Canada (Toronto), so have only wasted half the money I would have if I'd bought it in the UK.

In the last 6 months, I have gone through 7 of these lights, and I keep exchanging them at Home Depot, and they will work for a week, then go out. I will need to play with the switch to get it to go on for a few seconds, only to have it go out again. They all seem to have the same faulty switch/contacts. I've replaced the batteries, and it does not help at all.

The Maglite Mini flashlight is a decent value for the money. It is quite bright but there is no push button.

I work as a Maintenance Tech and wear my flashlight to work every day. Have had it for over a year and it still works well.
I sometimes use rechargeable batteries even though the output is not as strong but wish it would give full brightness.
I wonder how the 3 battery light would work with rechargeable?
I like it overall.

It is true that the factory will repair them free of charge, but you have to get it there, and back. My advice: DON'T BUY ONE OF THESE UNTIL THEY REDESIGN THEM FOR RELIABILITY. TOO MUCH HASSLE.Is a beam-focus worth all this, when there are plenty of other lights that reliably STAY ON?

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
I purchased this a week ago at Home Depot and it will not work at all now. Battery drain is very bad considering LED's in theory use less power than conventional krypton bulbs. The trouble with mine seems to be either the tail cap or the barrel/switch. The light would flash intermittently when screwing in the tail cap after replacing the batteries, but once the cap was fully tightened, the light would not work. Very disappointed with this light. Mag has had a r ...

I bought this as a replacement for my old AA Maglite. It's pretty impressive at first I will admit, but soon falls short of expectations.
I have read that you can use NMh rechargeable batteries in it, obviously the people who claim this don't actually have a AA led Maglite, or they would know that any batteries other than alkaline are useless in it.
The alkaline ones last about an hour and a half. Rechargeable ones are lucky to last half that.
The main problem is that if you don't use the tor ...

This is the first LED flashlight I've used that is both very bright and also very functional. It is almost as bright as the Maglite 4D and 4C halogen flashlights. And it is far brighter than the regular Maglite halogen 2AA flashlight.
The beam can be focused, although LED flashlights can't focus to as narrow a beam as a regular flashlight can do. I prefer the softer focus of an LED light, since there's no "hot spots" and "dark spots" in the beam. So, it illuminates the area much better.
Ba ...
