Maglite Flashlights. Are They Still the Best?

There’s much competition in flashlights, in case you haven’t noticed.

Anthony Maglica came up with a new idea, and patented it in 1981. For a while he was flying high with his new product. Then foreign competition creeped in and obtained a market share. At the turn of the century, when LED bulbs entered the arena, foreign LED flashlights really became a cheap alternative to the home-grown Maglite Flashlights.

A couple years ago I bought a package of LED flashlights at Home Depot. There were 8-10 torches in the bag, for about $10 total. You can’t beat that price. The batteries were not included. I had to put 3 AAA batteries in them. They work fine, but…..

The selling point of Maglite Flashlights is their country of origin. They have always been made in the USA. Anthony intends to keep it that way. Enough buyers still believe in supporting the American worker, and continue to buy Maglites.

Promotional Maglights: Picking the Right Size For You

Promotional Maglights (Maglites)

Promotional Maglite flashlights are popular giveaways because they’re long-lasting, durable, American made, and come in a range of sizes to fit different uses and budgets. Here’s an overview of the main size categories.

Ultra Small (AAA batteries)

Promotional Maglights

These are the smallest options, typically powered by 1–2 AAA batteries. Around 3–5 inches long, they’re lightweight and ideal for keychains or pockets. Their portability makes them a top choice for mass promotional events.

Kinda Small (AA batteries)

Promotional Maglights

AA Maglites are slightly larger (about 5–6 inches) and provide more brightness and runtime than AAA models. They strike a balance between portability and performance, making them a common corporate gift.

Kinda Big (C Cell)

Promotional Maglights

Mid-size versions use C batteries and are significantly larger (roughly 9–12 inches). These offer stronger light output and a more substantial feel, often chosen for safety programs or industrial promotions.

Full-Size (D Cell)Promotional Maglights

The largest Maglites use D batteries and can exceed 12 inches in length. Known for their high output and durability, they’re often used by security teams and emergency services, making them ideal for premium promotional branding.

How to Choose the Right Size For Your Promotional Project:

  • Budget giveaways: AAA batteries

  • Everyday use: AA batteries

  • Work or utility: C or D cell

Maglite’s variety of sizes allows you to choose what suits your current needs. Your company logo is permanently laser engraved on the barrel.
