What kind of warranty do you have?
What if the flashlights are defective? What will you do?

The Next Big Announcement From Maglite Flashlights

Anthony Maglica is the genius businessman and inventor of Maglite Flashlights. He has taken Maglite® from its beginnings in 1979 to a major USA-made manufacturer of superior torches. From the first D-cell flashlight, he developed the AA Mini Maglite®, then the AAA Mini Maglite® in 1987. What is his next big announcement?

He is coming out with a rechargeable one that will take an 80% charge in only 1/2 hour.
Also Anthony is releasing a new 4D cell flashlight that can last as long as 18 days, without turning it off.

Watch for these two new Maglite Flashlights in the coming weeks, maybe in time for Christmas.

can’t get any color in any size. The smaller versions, like the K3A come in the most colors. The larger the Maglite®, the smaller the list of available colors. However, if you want your logo imprinted in full color, that can be done on these two Maglites®.

Should You Get Your Maglite Engraved or Color Printed With Your Logo?

With modern printing technology, your company logo can be printed in full color

on a Maglite® barrel. Sometimes this looks great. But sometimes, depending on the barrel color and your logo color, we have to lay down a light base color, so your real colors will look vibrant. This way, a dark barrel won’t show through the light colors of your logo. The drawback of this, is that the base color imprint might show at the edges of your logo.

Full color imprinting will last forever, unless something sharp scratches it. For a permanent imprint of your corporate logo, I suggest getting your Maglite engraved using modern laser technology. Laser engraving is actually scratched through the anodized layer and goes down into the aluminum barrel itself. It can’t be rubbed off or affected by scratching.

Maglite Flashlights….LED or Incandescent?

When you are shopping for Maglite flashlights, you will be faced with the decision of whether to get an LED (light emitting diode) or incandescent bulb. Which one should you choose? It’s kind of like choosing between a Lincoln Navigator and a Ford Fusion. There’s a difference in price, and a difference in

quality.

The LED bulb is much brighter, but more expensive than the original incandescent bulb. So, do you want more quality, or more economy. Both types of Maglite® are popular, and as far as I know, neither one is destined for cancellation.

Another feature of the LED Maglites is the ability to have different modes. You can have different brightnesses, strobe, and SOS. All this is possible because of an advanced electronic circuit.

I hope this makes it easier to make your decision.

The Best Promotional Maglites® For Every Day Use

Promotional Maglites® are used by law enforcement officers and EMT’s. They are not only essential tools in their arsenal, they can be used for promotional purposes. Why not put the badge image or company logo on the barrel? The best Maglites® for every day use are the 2AALED Mini Maglite® LED and the MAG-TAC® LED Flashlight – Bezel Edge.

Why? Both Maglites® are powerful and small enough to keep in your pocket or a pouch.

How To Get A Maglite Engraved With Your Logo

The first advice is: “Don’t try this at home”.

Laser engraving is an art and a science. It requires a special laser engraving machine. Not all laser machines can properly engrave on anodized aluminum. Even if you have the right machine, you need to:

Maglite® m3a in dark green

Try engraving some test pieces to find the right voltage
The right number of passes
The right position on the Maglite® barrel
The right size of imprint, so the logo doesn’t get distorted at the top and bottom edges.
Make a jig, so you can engrave all the barrels at the same exact place.

The best way to get a Maglite engraved is to find a professional engraver, and one that engraves Maglites® all the time. Of course, the internet is the best place to find such a company.
