Cheap MAGLITE S6D015 Display Box Heavy-Duty 6-D Cell Flashlight, Black

Customer Ratings:

This flashlight is around 19.5" (49 cm) and weighs 3 lbs (1.3 kg) with batteries. It is "heavy duty" as described and a typical Maglite construction.

It comes with, or should come with, a Mag-num Star Xenon bulb with a spare in the cap. This is the brighter Maglite incandescent bulb (White Star Krypton being the other).

LED technology has made incandescent bulbs seem out of date and not worth getting. Indeed, I had (not having an incandescent flashlight for a while) looked at LED replacements for this model with the expectation I was going to get one after receiving this light.

However, I have found a replacement completely unnecessary. This light is very bright, and chasing higher lumen ratings is all the rage. But in reality, there is more to judging a flashlight than the amount of lumens. The focus and flood settings are quite comparable to the best LED flashlight I have which uses standard alkaline batteries. The colour of the light is different: but I found little difference in practical light use at night in the fog and mist. Both illuminated a distance fence to a comparable degree (albeit, with different beam colours) and the flood and focus were comparable. I know that the LED flashlight (a Maglite Pro LED 2d) would drop in lumens as it ran as well (by design).

There are four factors which comprise the FL1 Standard: Beam Distance, Peak Beam Intensity, Run Time, and Light Output. Lumens is the unit for the last factor. The Maglite website does not yet include the ANSI FL1 Standard information for this light, but other sites show the lumens to be 136 with a Krypton bulb, with a throw (beam distance) of 295 meters. The Xenon information would be higher than that, but even if it were the same, it would be comparable to the LED models in many ways, plus, it would not have the heat management issues and degrading performance which LED have during continuous use.

I think this flashlight is good the way it is and no bulb replacement is necessary and that it is a very good deal ($25). Although, a flashlight of this size and weight would not have universal appeal.

Great flashlite-wish it came in a LED model. I tape it with hocky stick tape for a better grip. A word of caution: since the batteries last so long, inspect them once in a while for deterioration. I recently had to junk a 4D LED Maglite because the cells swelled and ruined the tube. It worked fine, daily use, until it died.

Honest reviews on MAGLITE S6D015 Display Box Heavy-Duty 6-D Cell Flashlight, Black

The Flashlight is perfectly made here in the U.S.A.

But is advertised as having a (Mag-Num Star Xenon Bulb).

It does not have this Bulb but a Kryton bulb.

I called Amazon about it and the woman checked the site also and without a bunch of crapp, she credit my account so I would be able to purchase the correct bulb from amazon with no cost to me Period.

Thank you Amazon.
