About MagLite M2A01CMaglite Mini Incandescent 2-Cell AA Flashlight Combo, Black
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
76% appreciated its adjustable beam focus
The light pattern is adjustable despite its irregularity.
I can quickly adjust the head of the flashlight from spotlight to floodlight and it also has a quick conversion to candle mode, making it a unique tool, especially during a blackout or natural disaster.
The light has an adjustable beam that can go from spotlight to a more narrow beam of light.
The Versabrite has a tiltable head and built-in clips, making it useful for inspecting things and taking notes at night or when both hands are needed free.
72% appreciated its long-lasting battery life
After upgrading the Terralux TLE-20 LED, my battery life extended by six times.
I have been using the flashlight for three years and it still works like it did on the first day.
I suggest using rechargeable batteries for consistent performance throughout their lifespan and the flashlight stays brighter for three times longer than disposables.
71% were satisfied with its brightness, while 29% found it dim
The handheld flashlight is surprisingly bright, almost as bright as the Mag 2D light.
The flashlight is not super bright, but it is not what I was looking for.
Rephrased Sentence:
Rechargeable flashlights stay brighter for three times longer than disposable flashlights and are consistent throughout their lifespan.
I find the light to be not bright enough for my liking. Compared to Streamlight, Inova, Surefire, or even the new 3-watt LED Maglites, it is disappointing in terms of brightness.
87% praised for its rugged construction, but 13% experienced durability issues
The flashlight is durable and can handle tough jobs. It's also portable.
The lights seemed sturdy and well-constructed, but they were not reliable and ended up in the trash.
83% liked its comfortable grip and handling, though 17% found it awkward
I can operate the flashlight even with bulky gloves on.
The Versabrite has a tiltable head and built-in clips for mounting to a hat brim or shirt pocket. It is useful when I need to inspect things and take notes at night or require light while keeping both hands free.
The flashlight is comfortably small, but it would fit better in the hand if it were a bit fatter.
For flicker-free operation, slight spreading of the bulb's metal tail contacts is required prior to inserting into the main body.

81% liked the intuitive switch and interface, but 19% found it confusing
The on-off switch is easy to use and can be turned with a simple turn of the flashlight's head.
The Mini Maglite requires two hands or one hand and your chin/mouth to operate, which may not be possible in an emergency. Other flashlights now have end cap switches.
I have faced reliability issues with the switch mechanism used to turn the light on/off.
81% liked its lightweight and compact design
Handheld flashlights are lightweight and can be operated even with bulky gloves on.
The flashlight is small and has some weight to it.
The flashlight is small enough to fit in a drawer, glove box or emergency kit, but not too tiny to get lost.
The flashlight is perfect for a car glove compartment, center console, or even in the visor if my car has a pouch for sunglasses or other articles. It is only 5 and 3/4 inches in size.
