Model Number: S4D016 Special FeaturesWater Resistant desertcart.com Bright lights, burly cases, fail-safe on/off switches, virtual indestructibility: there are very good reasons to rave about Mag Instrument flashlights. It goes without saying that a flashlight defeats its own purpose if it can't be trusted, which is why so many people spend a little extra for this four D-cell Mag-Lite. We've dropped ours off ladders, kicked it down stairs--just generally abused the thing--and it lights up now just as readily as it did when we first turned it on. Speaking of which, the on/off switch is one of the first things to fail on generic flashlights. Mag-Lite's switch is rubber coated and weather protected; frankly, it seems incapable of ever wearing out, even after thousands of clicks. Plus, twisting the flashlight's head gives you an option between a tight beam and a floodlight. More importantly, the combination of a supertough krypton gas lamp and high-quality reflectors provides unusually bright light. There's also an extra lamp in the tail cap so you've always got a backup--how many other flashlights deliver that?But the Mag's indestructibility is its main selling point. Mag Instrument builds its flashlights with ultrastrong aluminum alloy cases that have been anodized both inside and out to resist rust. High-quality O-rings at both openings keep water away from the batteries. It's hard to imagine damaging one of these lights. Think of it this way: if, as one of our customers suggests, there were a kingdom of flashlights, Mag-Lite would be crowned king. --Jon Groebner

Review: they are built like tanks, waterproof - first off lets start buy stating the most important fact about these first gen mags...people who know maglites do not buy them for their "brightness" but rather there outstanding durability to cost ratio.Mags have earned this reputation since day one thus for this reason alone they have still not changed...why change something that isnt broke?they are built like tanks,waterproof,drop resitant,shock resistant and parts are readly available all over the net.upgrade bulbs,lens,seals,switches...you name it.now another very very important fact that i do not see written about or even mentioned.in the event of a long term power outage these D batteries will prove to be more vital...why? beacause when your batteries die simply replace and you are good to go.if your light sources are rechargable you are screwed unless you have a generator.this was proven in 2008 when hurricane ike made its way to ohio with sustained wind gust of 40-50mph winds,knocking out power for 3 days in my kneck of the woods.not only did i have to replace my D's in my 2 cell and 4 cell but if it wasnt for long term stash of batteries i would of been screwed.my Brothers rechargables went bad after two night,caught off gaurd by the winds he only had half a charge on his tactical super bright pieces of trash...no power to recharge.so my point is if you do not need a super bright rechargable,expensive flashlight dont waste your money.i change the batteries in mine every 6-12 months and they are fine.these are lifetime flashlights.both my 2 cell D's are 18 and 19 years old,sharing vehicle duties,hunting,fishing,dog finding and all around general pupose.they are scratched up and look like they been through heck!that is because they have! over the past 3 years i replaced the old krypton bulbls with LED's and made them virtually new and 3 times more bright.they will never be replaced as there is simply no reason to with parts all over desertcart.now my 4 cell first generation was upgraded withn LED and a nice new glass lens and it literally illuminates my whole yard.its a beast,heavy,solid and more light than most any person will ever realisticaly ever need.in fact its so bright and useful it acompanis me on all of my hunting trips for the simple reason of long rang beam and excellent flood illumination in the appalachian foot hills were we roam.let me say this again...the 4 cell even with the old fashion krypton bulb is more than most anyone will ever need! if you live in a city with small lots its will illuminate not only your lot but a four lot area.so the two cells being less light and flood illumination is adequate for 99.9% of the general population.right now we live in a time of excess...people always have to have the latest and greates everything...from new phones,cars,computers...maglite still stays true to the old ways of adequate needs that are durable for a lifetime...thus all these review you are reading.so in short mags are realistic in terms of durability and price.
Review: Great quality. - When you pick up this flashlight you can feel the build quality. I like that is uses traditional batteries instead of rechargeable lithium ion. Worth every penny. Its bright enough for normal use and the battery life seems good. I like the adjustable light diameter which is easy to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: about how long is this light? thanks**
A: The 6 D-cell daylight is a less than dainty 19 1/2 ,  ( yes, nineteen and one half) inches long. The 2 1/2 head and 1 1/4 diameter is about right and pretty standard for d cells. It is also quite heavy and makes for a sturdy club.  Completely sealed against the weather.  Should last a lifetime.
 Those other answers may be for the  3 cell.

**Q: Why does Maglite so adamantly refuse to honor its warranty? The design of this flashlight encourages batteries to leak and wreck the flashlight.**
A: Mag-Lite has a Trade-In program that you can trade in a damaged or older light for a new one at a discount.  I had a 12+ year old incandescent Mag-Lite that I left in my shed for the past year and a half which the excessive heat in the shed during the summer (100+F) caused the batteries inside of it to not only leak, but ATE a football shaped hole right through the barrel.  The light still worked, but I could not remove the tailcap.  Fortunately I live where Mag-Lite is located, and drove down to trade in my 2 D-cell light for a brand new LED version for less than $25!  Can't beat that, and I didn't even have to ship mine to them.  While that's not like a warranty, it's far better than if they were to tell you to kick rocks.  Trade-In was super easy, no questions asked.

**Q: Can I get a wrist strap for this ?**
A: i haven't hear of a wrist strap. you could make one using maglite holders, "flashlight torch stretch holster pouch with rotating clip" etc, with a strap to go around your wraist. it would be home made.You can add a MAGLITE Rothco Police C D Cell Maglite Flashlight Side Handle Baton and a Glass breaking tail cap.this make a self defence weapon you can download the maglite catalog at http://www.maglite.com/spareparts.asp i hope this helps you

**Q: what is the difference between in display box and blister pack?**
A: Good question. Did you google it. I’m thinking maybe cardboard box with pic of it, and maglite inside?  I just got the blister pack.
It gives blisters opening, right? Once I broke an item opening the pack. A useless mode of packaging. I think meant for store displays, harder to open to steal. Let the stores worry about theft deterrences. 
Sorry for added non relevant detail.
