Maglite Ml300L LED 3D cell Flashlight review.

[@josecortez5213]

I have the same flashlight. Mine got corrosion damage from bad batteries. I took it to the Maglite warranty office at Maglite headquarters in Ontario CA. They said we need a week to fix it. I filled out a form, then was asked to wait in the lobby. They gave me a brand new black ml300l. Guess what flashlight brand Im getting in the future? Maglite my friends.

[@Graymanone]

I just purchased one for a unarmed security position I am currently working in which we are not allowed to carry anything for self defense so I purchased this flashlight/baton and still be in compliance with policy.

[@MrNathansilvia]

I just got one of these for work. I used to have an older 6 cell incandescent, but that's overkill for a duty belt. I had the idea to put rechargeable D cells in it. I found some on Amazon that charge through a micro USB, so lets see how it works... I know they make rechargeable from the factory but I like the iconic look better. Also I have the option to switch out the batteries for other rechargeables or for some disposables.

[@mattscorner1232]

@@MrNathansilvia I definitely think rechargeable batteries are the way to go. I had alkalines go bad and swell to the point where I couldn't even unscrew the end cap due to the pressure. Had to toss the entire flashlight. Shame because it was a great flashlight.

Love my red model...it really shines bright and is a great "attitude correction device"! Great review. Ty.

It's eco, not echo. No offense. Cheers.

I just ordered it. Can't wait to use this baby!

[@f50koenigg]

How is it?

[@gruvergoods6430]

@@f50koenigg oh man. I work a lot at night. Lately out in the country. It lights the areas I need to see up like the sun. Let there be light. Bonus, It doubles as a weapon.

[@f50koenigg]

@@gruvergoods6430 I can tell you are very happy with the flashlight.

[@mikehunt8170]

I just ordered the 4D NASAR version and can't wait for it to get here. I cant find a review on the 4D but the only difference would be battery life. Guess I'll have to make a video reviewing it. Will have to start a new channel though.. I don't think youtube would appreciate my name ;)

You should have pointed at a much farther target to show us the difference between flood and spot. Otherwise, this was a very useful video. Thanks!

[@thumperjdm]

Nice review. It sounds like the threads of your tail cap could use some Nyogel grease (or Vaseline.)

[@mattscorner1232]

+thumperjdm Thanks for the suggestion. Glad you liked the review.

[@TheBikemaster94]

But Ice Cube said No Vaseline 🤣 I guess he had a Maglite collection 🤗

[@adrianotero7963]

I read not to use Vaseline....use Nyogel.

[@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost.]

Use Eneloop D cell to AA adapters and then only rechargeable AA NiMH batteries. That works. I do it like this with the older 168 lumen LED 3 D cell MagLites. Awesome.

[@blindowl-bushcraft-survival]

Very nice review

[@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost.]

Maglite makes rechargeable. But I prefer the older style MagLites an use them all with Eneloop AA NiMH batteries in Eneloop D cell to AA adapters. That makes the light very light and gives me a runtime of about 16 hours with the 168 lumen LED models.

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

I can barely tell the differenced between Low Mode and Eco Mode. The best Function Setting for me, is the one with High Power, Low Power and Strobe. That's all I really need.

[@aceventura4006]

Really good video, thanks

[@pook2830]

Why do people use automatic exposure on cameras when doing reviews like this? High, Low and Eco all look the same, obviously because the camera is adjusting exposure to suit available light. Setting camera exposure manually to give good exposure for High, then locking it off, and then showing the other modes woudl give viewers a true idea of difference between the modes.

[@alantheloneranger]

Can you remove the head on the 3rd generation maglites like you could on the older models?

[@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost.]

Appearently not so easy but it is doable with an wise. The new gen habe rackets on the olastic ring for focus and the head is fixed with steel snap rings. Not for screw on or off. The switch is now high temp fibre glass but can be taken off with an T8. I dont like the new ones so I oedered 3 new Led ones and 4 xenon old style 4 D ones. The older ones can be disassembled easy except the swicht which is easier to take out on the new ones but can be taken out on all of these. Otherwise the head is not supposed to come off on these 3rd gen ones and the LED bulb sitsin an press fit heat sink which can only be pounded out with an socket an great force. Besides that the head no is not threaded on but held in place entirely by snap rings and slides on an plastik ring on gears from plastic for focussing.

[@TeddyJSmooth]

This sounds like a lot of work.

[@ioccatonyz1]

Momentary does not allow you to flash Morse Code, the old generation switch does signaling the best. Also It has no memory, as in full power will be with the first button press even if another selection was used last.

[@Tom-dw2fg]

Can the ML300L use extension kits to turn it into a 4D or 5D?

[@mattscorner1232]

I'm not sure. Its slightly thinner them the older incandescent models. I guess it would depend on how the kit attached.

[@Tom-dw2fg]

@@mattscorner1232 Based on that, yeah I guess the answer would be no. An extension kit screws on the end and adds room for extra 1D or 2D cells. I ended up dropping some cash on this flashlight anyway because 16H battery life is hard to beat. So far it's been great. It's very bright and very hardy. Just what I need. Thanks for the information in your video.

[@f50koenigg]

So far do you enjoy this flaslight?

[@arturosc121]

Is perfec super good

[@aslanyureky]

what is the led used in it?

[@Vinnay94]

Does it come with a spare LED? LEDs can fail prematurely though usually it's the circuit that fails due to overheating.

[@mollies13]

only thing what i like about maglite is there body has that smooth feel, it feel realy god in the hand. The other thing is the button is in the side which is better then turning its head. but im not a fan of maglite lol :)

[@pressuresh1ts793]

Its pronunciation is like so... All-u-min-ee-yum

[@jeezed2950]

So this takes D batteries??? No one really uses those anymore. It's be nice if they made a version that used new LI batteries.

[@mattscorner1232]

Jee Zed Yes, 3 D cell batteries. With the LED bulb, they last quite a while. You're right, it would be nice if they came out with one that had a rechargable battery; but for now I suppose you could use rechargable D batteries as a substitute for the regular ones.

[@fredg8199]

I like the weight, saved my rotty pup from two a-hole dogs that decided to attack. So when looking for a replacement of my incandescent I purchased this exact light. However, Maglite recently released a 1000 lumen rechargable unit, but expect to pay over three times the amount of the 300l.

Anyone use AAA in a cady for this ??

[@FishinWithAlex]

Battery life is only 16 hours on high, that would probably go down to 10 or 8 hours

[@FishinWithAlex]

Definitely recommend just getting 3 D batteries they’re not hard to find

[@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost.]

Use Eneloop D cell to AA adapters and then only rechargeable AA NiMH batteries.

[@adrianotero7963]

@@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost. do you use the adapter that holds one AA or the one that holds 3 AA ?

[@Prussia_is_not_yet_lost.]

@@adrianotero7963 As far as I know there is only an single model of adapters (D size adapter in which goes 1 AA battery) from the Eneloop (Panasonic) brand. 1 AA battery goes into the Eneloop D size adapter. That system I implemented now for all my lighting and it works perfectly and saves you a ton of money.
