The Maglite Mini Maglite 2AA LED is a blue anodized aluminum flashlight with a 3-watt LED and Balanced Optics focusing.
Blue anodizing is the reason to choose this over the black version, and it is a practical choice as much as a cosmetic one. A black flashlight set down on dark ground or in a toolbox disappears. A colored body is findable, which is the difference between having a light and looking for one.
Balanced Optics shapes the beam through the focusing range rather than only at one setting. A cheaper adjustable light gives a clean spot and a ragged flood, or the reverse. This holds a usable beam across the whole rotation.
Two AA cells power a 3-watt LED, and both are easy to replace anywhere. The aircraft-grade aluminum body gives the familiar Mini Maglite construction in a brighter finish. Explore more headlamps and compact lights.
