Maglite Solitaire Incandescent 1-Cell AAA Flashlight Red - K3A036

I had one of these small flash lights for over 30 years as an RN, for eye and throat exams. It was purple, we'll worn and a crucial part of all the nurse stuff in my lab coat pockets. Random search on Amazon and I found it! Still great around the house, and for checking sore throats!

At only 2 lumens, this incandescent Maglite Solitaire flashlight is an order of magnitude less bright than newer designs, including the latest 47-lumen LED version of the Solitaire. But sometimes a much dimmer light is exactly what you want, for example to look for a dropped object in the car or read a map at night without blinding the driver, or to provide close-up illumination when you're looking through a magnifier to identify a tiny electronic part at your workbench. Just don't leave an alkaline battery in the Solitaire and then forget it in a drawer for several years, because the old battery will leak and ruin the flashlight, which is why I recently had to buy a replacement. Think I'll keep an Energizer Ultimate lithium battery in this one. Update Nov 2019: Despite owning dozens of higher-output flashlights, I have just ordered my fourth incandescent Maglite Solitaire in the last two years because I keep finding more applications for low-level, close-up illumination. I keep one incandescent Solitaire in each car so my passenger can look through a bag or read a map during night drives without blinding the driver, I keep one at my workbench to provide close-up lighting for working on small parts, and I take one on camping outings to provide low-level lighting in the tent or for finding my way to the bath house without disturbing other campers. And of course, you should always have a spare, so maybe I will order a fifth incandescent Solitaire. Yes, I also carry a higher-output light for when 2 lumens is not bright enough for the job, but for many situations, I find that the classic incandescent Maglite Solitaire produces just the right amount of light.

This maglite was a direct replacement for one that no longer worked. This item worked perfectly.

I ordered this new little Maglite to replace my previous little Maglite, which I've used on my nightly dog walks, attached to the leash, for many years. It withstood lots of weather and being banged around, and it always gave off great light in the darkness -- until it finally bit the dust. I expected this replacement (same brand, model, size) to perform equally well. I'm sorry to say it does not. It's not even in the same league as the other [fantastically performing] Maglite. This current form of the little Maglite gives off a pathetic, pin-shaped, not bright light - even when adjusted to its fullest in either direction (*yes, I know how to operate it). It does not begin to flood and illuminate the ground at night, for example. It's incredibly disappointing. I returned the first one I ordered, hoping it was just faulty. But the second one performs in the same dreadful way. I guess I need to diverge from the Maglite brand to find my next dog-walking light. Too bad about that. I've had Maglites for as long as I can remember.

I was looking for a small and lightweight light for my upcoming trip to Anza Borrego where we plan to got for a night trek. Also I wanted a light to try some light painting and some other kind of trick photography. I had heard about the Maglite but had never used any of their lights. Mostly because they are insanely priced. I thought its the best time to try a Maglite which is not very expensive and will serve the dual purpose. Just to clarify many questions, its NOT LED. The light is incandescent. Also many people have asked how many batteries it takes. It takes only one AAA battery and a Duracell AAA battery is supplied with this light. Another feature I liked was the extra bulb provided in the cap. Its a little tricky to get it out of the housing (you need to press the spring in and then pull it out). Innovative !!!! The good features: 1. Made of goos quality steel which feels sturdy and durable 2. The beam is pretty strong for a light that takes only one AAA battery 3. Can be easily focussed or used for a diffused light 4. The lanyard supplied with it is of very good quality and can be used to attach the light to bag, etc.. 5. Extra lamp is supplied in the cap 6. The front part can be unscrewed completely to turn it in to a candle light mode for use during camping etc.. 7. Life time warranty by the manufacturer 8. The specifications dont provide the weight. I would say it weighs about 20-25 grams with batteries and lanyard included. The bad: Nothing at all !!! Although I wish it were a little longer and could take two batteries. At this price, I would definitely recommend this light for general purpose and for those who repeatedly need to switch on and off their lights during trekking/hiking. !!!!!!!!!! Worth buying!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! No regrets !!!!!!!!!!

Detta är min tredje eller möjligen fjärde av denna modell. De har alla klarat sig väl genom att överleva länge på min nyckelknippa, i min ficka. Har då antingen jobbat som rörmokare eller kört lastbil på det mera hårdhänta viset med containers till byggen (man måste klättra och klänga för att näta på och näta av, samt kräla under bilen för att laga den). Har numera använt andra sorters lampor på min knippa, dock har de inte haft samma överlevnadstid, pajat snabbare. Så nu slog jag till igen på en liten Solitär...noterade direkt att de nyare led lamporna gjort mig lite bortskämd med ett starkare och vitare sken...den här är av den äldre sorten och har alltså ett svagare och gulare sken, inte så kul. Men den håller bergis bättre mot fall och hårda slag, vilket är varför jag köpt den igen. Förr i tiden hade jag givit den fem stjärnor men idag blir det tre, helt okej faktiskt men inte mer...har tidigare varit under hus i krypgrunden och gjort småjobb där och då klarat mig bra med bara denna lilla lampa, vilket säger en hel del om denna produkt.

Ormai siamo abituati alle nuove torce a LED, mentre questa è "old school", cioè ha la lampadina ad incandescenza e quindi la potenza in termini di lumen è un po' scarsa. Se l'acquistate, sappiate che state comprando una torcia che illumina meno di una di equivalente ma a LED. Ovviamente chi acquista questo articolo lo fa più che altro per il design, che rimane un classico.

超お気に入りの商品です。 車のキーにつけていますが１個目のはお尻のポケットに入れていて落としてしまいました。 ちょっとした時に便利で心強い品です。 単④電池で軽くかなり長持ちします。 ゴールドが欲しかったのですが無いのかな？ 色は傷つくと剥がれてきますがそれが使い込んだ味わいになっていい感じです。

Wie immer bei einer Maglite ist die Qualität grossartig, sogar als Miniversion hat man im Notfall eine gute Beleuchtung und sogar im Zelt als Lampe ( bei uns der Klassiker) hat dieses Kleinod eine grosse Wirkung. Sparsame LEDs sind zeitgemäss und zuverlässig. Die Haltbarkeit der Farbe hat sich deutlich verbessert. Ein guter Kauf und nur zu empfehlen.

Je l'ai achetée pour mon fils qui l'utilise beaucoup dans le cadre de son travail (il travaille souvent de nuit). Petite et légère, elle se glisse facilement dans une poche de pantalon ou de chemise. Elle éclaire parfaitement une zone relativement importante à une vingtaine de mètres. Elle est livrée avec une pile de type AAA et une mini sangle avec anneau pour le transport (à accrocher à un porte-clés, par exemple). De plus elle a un beau look et est étanche. Le tout pour un prix très raisonnable. Il en est totalement satisfait.
