Like many other manufacturers, Mag Instrument has expanded its line of flashlights to include models featuring LED-type bulbs. Why? LEDs are virtually unbreakable, and they are far more efficient than incandescent bulbs. As the product name suggests, this Maglite runs on 4 D-type batteries, which will take a while to run out thanks not only to the LEDs but also to Mag Instrument's Intelligent Energy Source Management, which balances high brightness against extended battery life. The bright, powerful beam adjusts from spot to flood simply by rotating the head. You also have some flexibility in terms of lighting sources-use either the installed LED module or the Krypton lamp (stored in the tailcap). The case is made from a high-strength aluminum alloy that has been anodized inside and out, which gives you water- and shock-resistance in a lightweight package. High-quality O-rings at both openings keep water away from the batteries. In other words, this energy-efficient flashlight is almost indestructible-a good quality when it comes to the tools re rely on to help you find your way in the dark. Limited lifetime warranty. Batteries not included. If you're looking for the same light in a 3 D-cell version, see Mag Industries product #ST3D016.--Josh Dettweiler What's in the Box

It's a T.K.O.

This light is a knock out!!! It is really bright and it's heavy enough to knock out any intruders! I keep this mag light by my bed and sleep like a baby. One thing I really like is that you can change the width of the beam by twisting the top of the flashlight near the bulb. If you twist it one way it widens the circle of light and twist it the other way and it makes a small intense beam. In all, this is the best flashlight I have ever owned!

Puts a lot of light on the subject

Case is lightweight with no batteries. After you put the 4 "D" cells in, it is satisfactorally heavy. Could be used as a nightstick or to fend off wild animals.
The push on/off switch is rubber guarded and easy to use.
Whenever you use the outer lens ring to expand the beam, it leaves a dark spot in the center where there is no light. I downgraded it one star because of this.
I comes with an extra bulb that is stored in the flashlight body.
I would anticipate the LED bulb will last a very long time.
Be aware that department stores sell a similar model that has only a standard bulb. The LED model puts out more light with less battery drain. The light is bluish-white on the LED model.

MAG ST4D016 LED 4D, Black

Perfect in all respects, good beam, made in USA. A little slippery to hold, I wrap the south end with friction tape in case I need to use it as a club.

Product was excellent. I would pay the extra ten bucks and buy the package that comes with the LED light included. This thing is huge and I feel very safe camping or walking around the block at night with this thing. Very bright and sturdy.
