Now, that's fast! It's got 1082 lumens and it will run at that level for more than 3 hours, unlike other flashlights that boast high lumens, but will barely last! In eco-mode, the ML150LR(X) will go for 79 hours nonstop with usable light. The beam throw is 500 yards (458m). That's 5 football fields!

You can thank Maglite's patented LED Heat-Sink Technology for that kind of all-star performance. All that power and it still weighs under 1 pound. Still not impressed? It's been given a 5-star rating by the National Tactical Officers Association during field tests and it's raved about in an editorial review by Officer.com. When law enforcement and public safety professionals trust the ML150LR(X) Rechargeable LED Flashlight - you know that you can trust it too! And, it's an iconic design, not one of those ugly flashlights! It belongs in your hand - at home, at work, or at play!

All of our published ANSI-standard performance data (Light Output, Beam Distance, Peak Beam Candlepower and Run Time) are based on testing with alkaline batteries; and when we ship these flashlights with batteries, the batteries we include with them are alkaline. We do this because the designs of these flashlights are optimized for use with (non-rechargeable) alkaline batteries.Alkaline AAA, AA, C and D batteries standardly have a nominal output of 1.5 volts. NiMH rechargeable batteries in these sizes typically have a somewhat lower nominal output (1.2 volts). Also, the discharge curves of NiMH batteries typically differ from those of alkaline batteries – so the two battery types may behave differently under load.That said, the flashlights will operate with NiMH rechargeables, and use of NiMH rechargeables will not harm the circuitry nor otherwise damage the flashlights in any way. You should not, however, expect the flashlights’ performance to be consistent with our published ANSI data if they are operated with rechargeable batteries. (For example, ANSI Light Output may be lower, and/or ANSI Run Time may be shorter with rechargeable batteries.) The degree of difference is hard to predict. We have noted variation in the quality of NiMH rechargeable batteries on the market, and if you choose the best-quality NiMH batteries you might find that any performance shortfall is, for your purposes, not meaningful.Bottom line, if you are willing to tolerate a possibly significant decline in flashlight performance, there is no reason you can’t substitute rechargeable NiMH batteries for (non-rechargeable) alkalines.

How long should an LED last? What is its “life expectancy”? A MAGLITE® flashlight’s LED light engine is a permanent component, not a “perishable” or “consumable” item like a battery or an incandescent lamp. In normal use, the LED should last for the life of the owner and should never need to be replaced.The explanation for these statements is a little complicated.

It starts with answering a preliminary question, which is, “How do you define when the useful life of an LED is at an end?” With an incandescent (filament) lamp, this question is so easy that nobody even asks it: The life of an incandescent lamp is over when it burns out. The “burning out” of an incandescent lamp is a sudden, catastrophic, complete failure; there’s no mistaking it when it happens.

“Burnout” occurs when the lamp’s filament (typically made of tungsten, a very high-melting but brittle metal), grows so thin and weak that it can’t support its own weight, especially if it is jarred. So the filament breaks.

When it does, the flashlight can’t complete the electrical circuit that ordinarily would flow through the filament, so if you turn on the flashlight, it does not give any light. When we say that an incandescent lamp is “dead,” what we actually mean is that its filament has suddenly and catastrophically failed.But if we ask the same question about an LED – “How do you define when the useful life of an LED is at an end?” – the answer is not nearly that simple because an LED typically does not fail suddenly and catastrophically: There’s no filament to “burn out,” nor is there any other clear, distinct event you can point to and say that the LED is dead. Instead, what typically happens to an LED is that its light output extremely slowly, and extremely gradually, declines with use.Much of the literature states that in a typical installation, an LED should perform for 50,000 to 100,000 hours before its light output falls to 50% of its initial output. So if we define 50% as the end-of-useful-life point, and if a flashlight is used for 1 hour a week (and even that might be a lot for a typical homeowner, who would use the flashlight sporadically, occasionally and in short episodes), the LED’s “useful life” (as defined above) should be 50,000 to 100,000 weeks – that is, between one and two thousand years. It sounds like you may be using the incorrect replacement lamp for your flashlight.

D & C Cell Mag-Lite® flashlights have different numbers of batteries or cells and therefore operate at different voltages, so each size Maglite® flashlight needs its own unique lamp size. For instance, if you have a 4-Cell Mag-Lite® flashlight and you put a 2-Cell or 3-Cell lamp inside, it will burn out very rapidly because the 4-Cell flashlight runs at a higher voltage than the lamp of a 2 or 3-Cell flashlight was designed to handle. For our personal size flashlights and your information, we manufacture a 2-Cell AA Mini Maglite® flashlight, a 2-Cell AAA Mini Maglite® flashlight and a Single Cell AAA Maglite® Solitaire® flashlight each of which require its own unique lamp. If you use the single cell Solitaire® lamp in a 2 Cell AA or 2Cell AAA, the lamp will burn out immediately. Make sure to buy the correct lamp for your flashlight.

I can’t remove the tailcap from my flashlight. I have even put pliers on it and tried to twist it off, but it's absolutely stuck. Is this problem covered by my warranty? When you cannot remove the tailcap to change the batteries, it is probably that the batteries leaked and caused corrosion inside.

Mag Instrument does not warrant against battery leakage. If the flashlight has been damaged by leakage of batteries, do not return the flashlight to Mag Instrument but determine what brand of battery caused the damage and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions about how to make a damage claim. For details, see the above FAQ entitled “ If my flashlight is damaged by a battery leak, what should I do?” Are Mag flashlights waterproof? When this happens, it probably means that the batteries have leaked and are stuck inside the barrel. Oftentimes, batteries will swell before leaking, causing them to get stuck inside the barrel.

Mag Instrument does not warrant against battery leakage. If the flashlight has been damaged by leakage of batteries, do not return the flashlight to Mag Instrument but determine what brand of battery caused the damage and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions about how to make a damage claim. For details, see the above FAQ entitled “ If my flashlight is damaged by a battery leak, what should I do?” Are Mag’s flashlights “explosion-proof” or “intrinsically safe”? Yes, unfortunately, they can.All alkaline batteries are filled with a caustic material that can damage (corrode) any device, including a flashlight, if it escapes from the battery cell. Given the limitations of alkaline battery technology, there is always some risk that a battery might leak under some conditions. There are a number of specific reasons why this might happen. One is a defect in the battery, or physical damage to it.

Another reason has to do with the fact that all alkaline batteries have a self-discharge rate, causing them to gradually weaken and die even if they are in a package on a shelf, or in a device that is not used. Leaving dead batteries inside a device can cause battery leakage and resulting corrosion damage. Putting new batteries together with old batteries, and/or with batteries of a different type, can also cause rapid discharge, pressure buildup, and leakage. And misuse of the batteries (e.g., by attempting to recharge batteries not designed to be recharged) can also cause leakage that can damage or destroy the flashlight. Besides staying with reputable brands of alkaline batteries, is there anything else I can do to minimize the battery-leak-damage risk? Visual signs of battery leakage and crusty deposits (corrosion) inside your flashlight are a sign of leakage and damage, and if the flashlight is non-functional, this corrosion damage is likely the cause.It sometimes happens that batteries become stuck inside the barrel and are hard to remove.

If this happens, it likely means that the batteries have leaked and have swelled up, and if the flashlight is non-functional, corrosion damage from the leaking batteries is almost certainly the cause.It also sometimes happens that the tailcap becomes stuck on the flashlight and is difficult to unscrew. When this happens (and there is no evidence of barrel crushing or denting), the cause likely is that a battery leaked and produced corrosion that involved the tailcap threads, seizing of the tailcap onto the flashlight’s barrel.In any of these situations, the likely cause is alkaline battery leak damage. Is battery-leak damage covered by my warranty?

Flashlight Performance Testing – The ANSI StandardIn 2009, the American National Standards Institute, in cooperation with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, published a standard called the ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009 Flashlight Basic Performance Standard. The ANSI Standard has become widely accepted in the portable lighting industry because it affords a practical way to make “apples-to-apples” comparisons among different flashlights.Although the ANSI Standard is not mandatory, Mag Instrument has chosen to follow it. That is why, on our product packaging,in our product literature, and on the website, we display certain flashlight performance data in the form of an “ANSI Strip,” so called because it uses the officially-designated ANSI logos and reports data taken in the ANSI-prescribed way.The ANSI Standard defines four basic performance categories, and prescribes official logos for displaying results. The following table lists the categories, and for each one indicates the unit of measure, the official logo, and the basic meaning of the category:Light Output versus Beam DistanceJudging from questions and comments we receive, the distinction between Light Output and Beam Distance is a source of some confusion.

It is important to understand that these two concepts – Light Output and Beam Distance –deal with quite distinct characteristic which, surprisingly to many people, don’t necessarily go hand in hand. A flashlight can have a very high Light Output (measured in lumens), and yet have a very short Beam Distance (measured in meters). And the opposite can also be true: A flashlight can have a very modest output in lumens and yet can be remarkably effective in lighting up an object very far away.Why is this possible? Because Light Output is simply a raw measure of the rate at which a light source generates light – i.e., how many photons, how much “luminous flux,” the source generates per second. It tells nothing about how well or poorly that light is gathered and directed.

Beam Distance, on the other hand, is a measure of the maximum distance from which an optimally focused flashlight will cast a useful amount of light on a target. The ANSI Standard effectively defines a “useful level of light” by prescribing that the Beam Distance is the maximum distance at which the flashlight will produce ¼ lux of light. A quarter of a lux can roughly be described as the light level provided by a full moon in an open field on a clear night. That’s not as bright as day, but it is bright enough to see by – a good, standard, working definition of a “useful level of light.”So while a flashlight’s Light Output – its “lumen rating” – tells you nothing at all about how good or bad a job the flashlight does at forming a useful beam of light, the flashlight’s “Beam Distance” rating is all about its ability to form light into a useful beam and send it in a useful direction. “Beam Distance” thus strongly correlates to a flashlight’s optical quality; whereas Light Output has nothing whatsoever to do with beam-forming optics. In fact, to get a high Light Output score, a flashlight would not even need to have a reflector or lens, at all!Optics MatterSince the beginning, Mag Instrument has prided itself on its beam-forming optics — the quality of its precision-designed and precision-crafted reflectors, and the versatility of its spot-to-flood beam focusing mechanism. High-quality optics help a flashlight to direct light in a useful way without excessive power consumption – something that the “brute force” approach of maximizing lumen output cannot do.Optics and Run TimeHigh-quality optics can also play a role in slowing battery consumption and prolonging Run Time.

As LED technology continues to advance, the number of watts of power consumed per lumen of light generated goes down; but it is still true to say that the more lumens you want, the faster you will consume battery power. So it is still true, and probably always will be true, that excellent beam-forming optics will enhance a flashlight’s ability to deliver useful light while avoiding the need for enormous lumen output and correspondingly fast battery drain. If I wanted to know the current draw and the wattage of a particular Mag® incandescent lamp (say, the LMXA301 Xenon lamp for the 3-cell Maglite® flashlight), how would I find that information? Each of our incandescent lamps was designed and developed with only one purpose in mind – to operate optimally in the particular flashlight for which the particular lamp is designated. We publish data describing how each lamp performs in its flashlight – for example, our website, catalog and package literature supply light output, peak beam intensity, beam distance and run time numbers for the 3-D-cell Maglite® flashlight running the lamp you mention. All such data are based on testing according to the ANSI/NEMA FL-1 Flashlight Basic Performance Standard (2009).

It is against Mag Instrument policy to provide engineering advice to persons seeking to use Mag Instrument parts or components to build non-Mag devices. And of course we do not warrant, endorse or recommend any such use or any such non-Mag device.You can, however, obtain approximate wattage, current-draw and voltage-drop numbers for the lamp in its intended operating environment by following the procedure described in the answer next above. How do I retrofit my Maglite Flashlight with the new Mag-num Star II Bi-Pin Lamp?

Pushing over 1,000 lumens of light (high power) from the LED lamp assembly, the water-resistant light measures just under 11” long, just over 1” in diameter and weighs under a pound with batteries (about the same diameter as a C-cell light). Yes, that’s weighing under a pound with batteries. At the high power setting, the fully charged light will last over three hours. There is also a second, lower power setting that produces 138 lumens and does so for eighteen hours. That’s longer than any shift should ever last. That 138 lumens may not sound like much as compared to the 1,000+ lumen output, but you need to remember that as little as 15 years ago, a 65 lumen flashlight was considered bright enough to be “tactical.” Finally, there is a minimal power setting they refer to as “eco mode” wherein the light produces 25 lumens for over three days.

25 lumens is sufficient for searching your trunk to find your raincoat or to see the path you’re walking so you don’t kick that skunk hiding in the shadows. Officer.com Editorial Review. The light has a powerful beam that throws light an easy several hundred yards away.is built like a tank, and worked very reliably.Due to technological advances in heat-sink technology, this flashlight is purported to be the longest lasting, brightest law enforcement flashlight out there.

Based upon my admittedly less scientific field testing, they are correct in their assertions and claims. The performance of the light is exceptional, very bright, multi-function, multi-programmable option is a bonus to me, allowing the end user to tailor the light to their needs. Changing the modes and functions was very easy and only takes a few seconds. After charging the battery as instructed for the initial charge, I placed the light on each of the four modes and checked each of the functions, all performed as advertised. This light was dropped, kicked and tossed, while in the high-power mode, with no loss of illumination.

Therefore, receiving a 5 rating in performance, ease of use, quality and durability. National Tactical Officers Association (Field Tests).
