Maglite MAG-TAC Rechargeable LED Flashlight – Plain Head, High-Performance Tactical Light – Black

Could not be happier. This is my 4th MagTac (lost one, now I have 3) and it is by far the brightest of the bunch. The other lights are rechargeable CR123 powered and come in around a little over 300 Lumen, this one however is in the neighborhood of +600 Lumen and comes fully charged. The difference is evident. The 'spill' on this light illuminates my whole apartment. The modes are easy to navigate and the strobe function even makes me a bit disoriented and nauseous. It has the same dimensions as the standard CR123 MagTac, but is about 3/4" longer due to the charger. The pocket clip is the same as the other lights. It's durable and secures the light well. I bought this to replace my Q-Beam spotlight (stolen) for it's 12V recharge-ability in my vehicle. I'm a former Medic / 1st Responder and I carry a comprehensive Med Kit in my vehicle. I like this light for it's ability to be used as a spot light, but it has lower light levels and portability (which I love) where-as the Q-Beam didn't. I now have 14 Maglites (I'm a 'flash-a-holic') of various size and brightness. This one is "up there" w/ the best and brightest of my lights. I look forward to many years of use with this fine, highly functional tool. Maglite rules! (I would include a comparison photo, but I don't have a vacant wall and my apartment 'fills up' when I turn it on)

Military grade high quality. Rechargeable. No batteries to replace. Last a long time. Would purchase again

I use the MagTac as my EDC. I know that it stop working after two years of use. But this review is about Maglite response and support. I have just shipped my Mag to repair or replacement. Customer Service counts

High quality, extremely bright, decent battery life, weather resistant, and convenient charger. Highly recommend as a carry light, for emergencies, or occasional outdoor use. If I could suggest any improvement, it would be a low-power LED light to locate the charger/light when power is out. Hard to locate easily in complete darkness!

At first, I thought this was the most awesome flashlight I'd ever owned. The High beam was amazing! The only problem,I thought,was that it had to stay in the charger or else the battery would die after only a couple of hours. That was the first three or four days. Then the battery would die after one hour. The charger indicated a full charge, but at the end of the second week we were getting only five or six minutes of light per charge. Now it won't light at all, and the base indicates that it is fully charged. I've been a MagLite Fan for decades. This is unbelievably poor quality. I've emailed the company, now we'll see if things get fixed. I'll update with their response. UPDATE: MagLite customer services responded to me quickly (Monday am.). They asked a few pertinent questions, such as serial number and detailed description of the problem. They are sending me a prepaid return label for service. I have to admit that it is a real pain in the butt to have to deal with a malfunctioning brand new product, but there is always a lemon in every barrel of apples, I guess. At least they are responding politely, positively and quickly. further update: The flashlight was fixed and returned very promptly. It's been three months of nightly use and it's still working great. I live in a highly wooded area with the occasional bear, coyote and cougar so it's great to have when the dogs need to go outside at night. The beam cuts through the dark. All components working well at this point. I'm back to loving this flashlight...only four stars until it functions well for over a year.

Work great

Outstanding Maglite! Consider this light as your 1st Choice. High quality build and design. Great ergonomic feel in your hand. Nice weight. Really bright and shines a long distance. Runs on new battery chemistry of LiFeSO4. Will run on high output for 2.5 hours as claimed. Recharges quickly in your car lighter plug in, a usb port or your household wall outlet via modules and a USB cable and charger stand provided. Can leave in charger stand after fully charged to keep it ready to go without battery overcharging. Nice compact super bright light by Maglite. Highly Recommended! Can buy a new battery for it if needed for about $20.00. Original battery will likely last 4 - 5 years perhaps longer. I own and use many higher end quality lights. This is the best.

I have always carried maglites with me for my whole working career. This is one you should really pass up on. I was skeptical going rechargeable if your battery drains you have to stop and charge it you can’t just pop in some new batteries. So I bought two, one to keep on the charger and one to use, I tried to be smart that way. BUT the BOTH have been in for service several times and they fail again after only a few months. I went back to the non rechargeable mag-tac and have been happy. I keep a spare set of batteries on hand. I pay the expense of batteries but a flashlight that doesn’t work when you need it is worthless so I am more than happy to pay for batteries to know my flashlight works perfectly. As a long time mag lite lover, skip this one.

Muy bien la linterna, muy resistente, lo malo que la batería le dura una hora en uso continuo

I had this product less then a month before it started having problems I sent it back to company who I got it from to say it was a faulty led light. They've said they changed the light but until I give it a full test I won't be holding my breath about this torch

Excelente calidad pero poca duración de batería si se usa de manera constante. La batería no dura mas de dos horas. Tenemos 3 equipos y sucede lo mismo.
