I bought the 2 cell one without comparing specs and i am going to keep it and get a 3 cell as well.
Maglite 2d cell review.
Using two d cell alkaline batteries which is the only battery configuration offered the pro 2d led has a maximum output of 274 lumens and intensity of over 33 000 candela.
The economy mode seems to be at least as bright as a 2 d cell incandescent flashlight yet the batteries are claimed to last 120 hours.
But until maglite corrects their specs or fixes their problem buy the 3 cell one and avoid the 2 cell one like the plague.
If you re looking to buy american maglite is the flashlight brand to go to for price and quality.
If it is not wrong the 2 cell version is definitely not the flashlight to get for emergency or every day use.
Maglite mag instrument inc is a flashlight brand that is very unique in the sense that it is both manufactured and designed in america since 1979.
Maglite 2 cell d flashlight gray the st2p096 st2d096 and stp036 led flashlights all outshine traditional incandescent bulb lights and use less power last longer.
The ml300lx 2 cell d is perfect if you re looking for a compact light with enough output.
