Tools and Hardware Reviews of MAGLITE SP2209H 2-AA Cell Mini LED Flashlight with Holster, Gray
Customer Review: Great little flashlight
Summary: 5 Stars
I own an older mag mini that I upgraded with an LED light. This flashlight is so much better!!! It is very bright and the beam is adjustable. You can select full bright, low light, flashing and even a programed S.O.S!!! Mag products are just better.Customer Review: small tight LED flashlight
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a small but strong LED flashlight with option to focus light as you wish - diffused or spotted. It took me a few seconds to find out how to turn it on, but after that i felt that it was an excellent choice.Customer Review: Excellent durable product

Are you listening Maglite? I want you to do well since you're Made in USA and China is beating you at your own game. This Maglite with LED blows away the ones with conventional bulbs - don't even bother with the old school bulbs. This model lacks the power of the Fenix LD20 but does come close, but then, the Fenix is about $55 vs this Maglite which is under $20, and I think I got mine for $12 during a Christmas sale at a box store. Cons: It has no clicky ON button, you have to turn the head. In practical terms, this means you need two hands to operate it. Not always feasible. The tube/grip is incised for a better grip, but these incisions are so shallow they are just for show. The incisions should be deeper to afford a better grip, like on an olympic barbell, or like on the Fenix. Maglite needs to add some ribbing or something to give a better grip. I tightly wrap some rubber bands around mine for something to hold onto. The grip on the turning head can be improved as well. It has no hole for a lanyard which I find annoying and could have been engineered in for about 5 cents per unit. The head is cylindrical, which means it can easily roll away from you (I think they sell a plastic octagonal shaped edge that can go over the head and fix this problem). The beam is not as smoothly graduated as the Fenix, and the Maglite has more artifacts than the Fenix. However you only really notice this when shining it against a white wall for test purposes. The head comes off to expose the lit bulb at its brightest for use as a lamp of sorts. The strobe feature is a slow strobe better to attract help and the slower strobe ostensibly lasts longer, whereas the Fenix is a rapid disorienting strobe better for shining in an intruder's eyes. All in all, when cost is taken into consideration, this light is a great value compared to the Chinese made Fenix. I prefer the Fenix but I would rather have 3 of these Maglites than 1 Fenix at the same cost.
