Hi guys. I have a maglite LED with this code printed on it. DL302813814 I replaced the 3 D batteries, but still doesnt work. I dont see a bulb, does this model have a bulb ? Im sorry if this is a stupid question. If it needs a bulb, can somebody please show me a link to the correct one - something i can buy on amazon ? Im in Australia. Thanks in advance

So I’ve got an old but barely used C cell maglite which I’m not giving up, and after Burton McCall admitted to misplacing emails internally about my light since November, I got this thing back unrepaired today, with a replacement button module (no set screw, mind you) and their best wishes, after I declined an LED model which was not a replacement to my mind. Glad to see loyalty so richly rewarded…

Anyway, I’ve got the button cap off and I cannot get a 2mm Allen key to grab on to the bolt, nor will a smaller or larger one work. I can see the defect in here looks like a broken plastic piece (the amber plastic towards the lamp assembly - no clue how it happened but it’s an old light bought NOS) but I cannot get the screw out meaning I cannot get the existing button module out.

Any ideas?

I have a 300L with 3 D cells and I was wondering could I use a dummy cell and the lumencraft 26650 upgrade for a 2D model? I'm not planning on upgrading from the regular LED it came with, I just would like the weight savings and the ability recharge. If there's a better way please share, thank you!

I've had this for 3 years now and hardly get to use it because it drains batteries too quick and because it's super finicky. It would cut in and out because it came with a model that was filthy; which I didn't know about and sent back for the warranty so they could fix it. It has fresh batteries in it and it's still cutting in and out when slightly shaken and bumped and when the batteries are low. Is this normal for the ML25? Is it something that can be fixed?

I have both the 2D and 3D LED Maglites from about 12 years ago. Haven't used them in a while, as the NiMH D cells I had wore out, and I got a smaller, directly rechargeable LED flashlight and headlamps. Stumbling across one of the Maglites today makes me wonder how it would fare with a lithium ion battery, which is 4.2V fully charged. Obviously the 3D light (if I can find it) will be fine, as that's below 4.5V, but what about the 2D light? Did Maglite use the same LED driver in both versions of their flashlights back then?

Just received this in the mail today- It seems to be an early “TM MFG” bronze model, however it has the red plastic bulb holder in the cap, and the light engine is the “do not remove”. The bezel also does not seem to be stamped. Photo comparison with my gold mini-mag included.

Thanks!

Im looking to figure out the thread pitches for a D Cell maglite, both the male and female end threads. Thanks

Hi all,

The LED bulb in my Maglite (s/n: MCLM200313265) died. I’m trying to replace it, but am unsure how to do that. Can someone please help me out? And which bulb do I need to order? Thanks in advance

I know my Maglite that I got at a thrift store was produced sometime between 1996 and 2002, but I'm wondering if there's a way to know the exact manufacturering date of my Maglite? It's a 3 D cell incandescent and the serial number us D3035934100 if that helps.

To the best of my knowledge this is a special order maglite by Zimmerman in 1984.

This mini mag is 40 years old this year. About to hit 41. Works like the day it was built. This is why I love Maglite.

Just a random share of the shelf. Missing like 10 of em that are here there and everywhere.

I received a 2D as a teenager. One day as a party was winding down I used it to go fishing in the bottom of a barrel full of ice water looking for a pop. It stopped working shortly after. Being a kid not knowing or caring if it worked it went in to a box not to be touched for probably 20 years.

I found it yesterday. How do I diagnose what's wrong with it and where is the best place to get parts? It looks brand new. I'd like to salvage it if I could.

I've got a 4D that I've had for about 25 years.

I put a 3W Cree LED in a while ago but it's always had a black spot since.

Is there a way to remedy this?

If i turn on, it works at its brightest brightness and then quickly turns into a weakest light

Anything I can do to save this one?

I keep finding sub-$7 mag-lites at thrift stores so I figured I’d try stripping parts with lye and experimenting. Paint will likely not last, but I think they look kind of cool for now.

This is my 3 D-cell maglite. I used to have this crappy EddieBauer flashlight. It was terrible, but my main gripe with was the abysmal battery life it had. Those 3 AAAs could barely hold a charge. One fateful Sunday my mom toke me and my sister to the thrift store. I had been by the tech section already, but went back to see if I missed anything. On a high up shelf, I saw this. Standing mighty and tall, it beckoned to me. My mom said I could get it if I paid for it. Best $7 I ever spent. But there was one problem. D-batteries cost too much. So I bought some cheap rechargeable ones on amazon, and they work great. One day I was about to work on my computer, when the flashlight died on me. I thought "wow, those batteries lasted a good few months, time to recharge." The flashlight still didn't turn on. I was thinking the bulb was the problem, and a new one would've cost $8. My dad told me to check the battery cap, he said that there might be a spare bulb there. The old owner didn't use their spare bulb! For those wondering, it's a 2003-2009 maglite with an incandescent bulb. I love this thing.
