There are always products which set an industry standard and in the world of heavy duty flashlights this brand is Maglite. Since its design and introduction to the United States market in 1979 by Croatian immigrant Anthony Maglica, the iconic Maglite’s reputation as a quality product has gone from strength to strength.
Product ranges have been continuously developed and added to over the years but each new design still gets its final approval from ‘Mr Maglite’ himself before it is offered to consumers.
Maglite designs range from the tiny Solitaire single AAA-battery flashlight intended for use on a key ring, through personal sized, sleekly compact Mini Maglites to several larger heavy duty models. The product ranges includes both traditional bulbs and LED designs. However, there are always several constants guaranteed with every Maglite sold and these are high quality, reliability, durability and a better output than offered by mass produced alternatives.
For many years the Maglite was the official flashlight of police officers and firefighters in the U.S. and today remains the first and only choice for consumers who require a robust and focusable flashlight for use in both work and play. Every Maglite comes with a spare bulb in its tail cap and there are many accessories available which include belt holsters, attachable fibre optic extensions and coloured lenses.
