Big Surprise For Promotional Maglites Warranty

Maglite® Flashlights Warranty
Maglite® Flashlights Warranty

Promotional Maglites (Maglights is a common misspelling) will display your company logo for a very long time. But did you know that their famous lifetime limited warranty was just reduced to 10 years? I wouldn’t worry about the quality of this famous flashlight. I think that the company is just streamlining its cost of production and maintenance, to keep up with the competition. If a Maglite used to last a lifetime, it will probably continue to do so.

Here is part of the text from the Maglite website today:

“TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY— Mag Instrument, Inc. warrants to the original owner that this flashlight is free from defects in parts and workmanship for ten years from the date of first retail purchase.”

Why Use Maglite Flashlights With RED Bulbs?

When you need a rugged USA-made flashlight, you normally choose Maglite Flashlights. But here’s a new reason to choose America’s favorite torch:

Choose the NEW Maglite® with the Red Light bulb. Why red?

  1. Red light is easier on the eyes than white light.
  2. Red light is easier on the eyes than any other color, especially blue.

Red lighting is used in confined spaces like airline cockpits, boats, and truck cabins. The visual spectrum of light goes from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. As we go from red to violet, the “energy” and frequency of the light increases. The higher the energy and frequency, the more disturbing it is to the eyes. I once had a car with red lights instead of blue ones in the dash. I noticed how pleasant the red lighting was.

5 Secrets of Maglite Flashlights

Maglite®-Saves-The-Night

Maglites are the best USA-Made flashlight. They are built tough, and will last a lifetime. But, here are 5 secrets you probably didn’t know about Maglite Flashlights.

  1. LED (the bulb on an LED Maglite, or any LED flashlight) doesn’t last forever. It doesn’t burn out. It just gets dimmer and dimmer with age. Don’t worry. Depending on your usage, it should remain very bright till a time between 50 years and 2,000 years from now.
  2. Maglites® are designed to be highly water resistant. However, they are not advertised to be waterproof.
  3. Maglites® are not tested to be explosion-proof or intrinsically safe. Some workers who use a flashlight in highly volatile environments need that type of flashlight.
  4. There are flashlights made for that purpose.
  5. Old and weak alkaline batteries can damage your Maglite® just as they can damage any other flashlight. Maglites® are built tough, but guarding against a leaky battery is above and beyond the call of duty. Many battery manufacturers have a repair/replacement policy if your flashlight is damaged by one of their leaky batteries.
  6. The ANSI standard of rating the power of flashlights was started only in 2009. Mag Instrument has agreed to abide by the ANSI standard, and rates its flashlights so you can compare one with another. ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute. The parameters used are:

    Maglite-At-Night
    Maglite®-At-Night
  • Beam Distance in Meters
  • Peak Beam Intensity in Candela
  • Run Time in Hours/Minutes
  • Light Output in Lumens
