Maglite’s not a name you would associate with a modern EDC these days, as they hit peak popularity before the era of LEDs in flashlights. But what you might not know is they’ve quietly kept up with the times, and making solid releases leveraging their most familiar form factors. The Maglite Mini PRO is one such light, offering a claimed 332 lumens for 2.5 hours off a pair of AA batteries in a classic Maglite form factor. By twisting its head, you’re able to activate the light on and off, as well as switch the beam profile from flood to spotlight, reaching distances of up to 172m (~562 feet), or around two football fields. Handmade in the USA, the Maglite Mini PRO features a tough aluminum construction, able to withstand impacts of up to 1 meter. Finally, knurling all over its body gives you a nice grip, with a lanyard hole offering an extra option for carry and security during use.
