I wish the new ones would concentrate in making the flashlights run longer, at a steady , lower lumen output rather than extremely bright for a couple seconds
My gma still uses the 2008 flashlight and has had it in her car ever since it came out. Same exact one in the vid. Perfect condition with original bulb and everything. She still seems to think its the best in the market too. She refuses to buy another one for 5 bucks. Gotta love stubborn old granny.
@@SterlingSimmons22 Another, slightly more practical flashlight I've been looking at is the Acebeam X75. I like it because it has a higher dust/waterproof rating than a lot of these crazy powerful flashlights (IP68). That means you can submerge it in shallow water completely and it will still work. Plus it's more compact that this one. It's around $400
If we're talking about lights in general, the searchlight has pretty much been the undefeated king of artificial lights since their introduction in WW1. Even in WW2, they were capable of producing 800 million Candelas, or about 10 billion lumens, which is kind of necessary if you're going to spot bombers flying at 5km altitude in the pitch black or a ship that's a few miles out in the dead of night.
Worked at Ace Hardware when i was a teenager .Guy kept coming in asking for Bulbs for Maglite flashlight. after some back and forth. found out Off duty cop. worked Security at dance club.. Taking Care of Violent Drunks LOL.
You can still buy the 6 battery Mag light, and now you can also buy an l.e.d. bulb that fits in place of the ones we all broke as kids. They do not break easily.

2008 Mag lite: i can almost see a tree 2023 LED lite: we have a wildfire In all seriousness, I used to work at an aluminum plant 20 years ago where we made all of the Mag lite metal parts. They are extremely well made. They would refuse entire orders if they were off by ~5 thousandths of an inch or had any water spots on them or any defect at all. 5 thousandths of an inch is so small but they demanded that level of quality and received it. There were situations where the loads get tarped to protect from the elements and then shipped to California for final processing but the bundles got wet along the way somehow. Those truck loads would be refused. If you've ever had a mag lite, you know the quality was good, especially in the 90s and 2000s. Now you know why they were expensive; They demanded the best quality throughout the entire journey. We made the Little Giant Ladders (called Wing) metals as well. They didn't care if we sent them aluminum colored sand. Not every company cares about quality but Maglica really did
Cool story! It’s a similar situation with Snap-on Tools’ quality control with steel shipments. If it was “compromised” in any way prior to the manufacturing process, that steel is refused and/or scrapped. What this guy isn’t telling you, is that Mag Lite will out last that Chinese spot light by 50 years.
The mayor lived across the street from the chief of police. I hope the mirror up with a company that sold high-powered lasers. He bought a VERY STRONG infrared laser. He used a night vision scope to see the spot on the other side of the road we are the chief of police's house was and while he was sitting there drinking his coffee, the mayor set the garbage can next to him on fire with the laser but you couldn't see the beam.... He used his night vision to see the spot onto the trash can. Hahaha. They were always doing shit to each other.
Love MAG lights! I work security, tough tough light. Had a guy get stupid once while working a hotel. He was being asked to leave due to complaints, he yanked the door open and had a small knife in his hand,all i had tome to say was "oh 💩! " and swung my right hand, MAG hit him in the face, broke his nose, fractured his orbital bone. Needless to say he dropped the knife. Night manager was with me for the eviction, she called cops. Guy tried to say I had hit him with a baton. I showed cops what i had. Cop said " what do you use that for?" Told him " its a flashlight just a flashlight, i use it on my rounds in the darker areas and to check areas that are hard to access." Cop said " good answer." Guy got arrested for assault with deadly weapon.

Yeah. I had a cop fracture the top of my left hand with one. I was at a club that got raided by the sheriff's department is part of the Drug War because they got a tip about some people who were slinging in the club.

This one old asshole was walking by me pulled out his mag light and smacked the back of my hand as hard as he could because I my fingers in my pockets while we were waiting for them to finish their raid. So a little background about this... Before this night this Sheriff's Department used to have a policy of people being able to pay off duty cops to provide security at clubs and at private parties. I distinctly remember being at one once at a park that had been rented out and the cops who were providing security on the outside, would ask "Do you have any drugs knives or guns? No? Welcome to the party?". The law enforcement and the people putting on the events and the venues had an understanding. The police would have their back turned to the inside and would be looking outside in the moment something happened they could turn and enter the establishment, in force. It made us safe and greatly reduced incidents by being able to quickly defuse them. The police were also very happy to be being paid twice sometimes three times or more their normal salary to be there as an off-duty officer and we as customers/guests were very happy for the presence of not just good security, but security backed by legal authority. Somer Conservative folks in the Community didn't like this arrangement once they heard about it, and got the law in the county changed to where off-duty officers could no longer be paid to provide security services. Those same cops had to start making up for the lost money someway, so like every other department in the US They decided to figure out how to pay for their now inflated salaries with proceeds from drug busts. So back to this night at the club. Because of my prior experiences with them I was very trusting of the police officers and I welcomed their presence and felt comfortable with them. Then a mag-light hit me, and the pain of reality got my attention. There is a moral to this story somewhere.
The SR32 will probably atleast momentarily blind someone though (120k lumens Is a lot), giving you time to get away from someone. So one Is more offence while the other Is defence
The Maglite also has an LED version with a very long runtime, 42 hours if I remember correctly. I doubt the other flashlight can output that much light for more than 1 hour.
@brinckau no the turbo mode cuts off after a minute. However if you keep it around 700 to 2k lumens it'll run for a good long time before you have to recharge
I had a brighter flashlight that plugged into my cars cigarette lighter, and it was made way before 2008. This video maker has no idea what he's talking about.
I remember that red 2008 flashlight. We had one just like it. We kept it on the night stand next to the door so if an intruder ever came in we could beat them with it. It was heavy AF.
@@gocardz6028 Or, carry a modern single 18650 cell LED flashlight that puts out a couple thousand lumens and fits comfortably inside your pocket, along with a concealed pistol preferably with another 1k lumen LED mounted to it. If you're in a situation where you can legally use a 6-cell Maglite flashlight as a striking baton, then you're also in a situation where you can dump several 124gr hollowpoints into your attacker's chest, the courts will lump both options into the same category, "deadly weapon". Call me crazy, but relying on your opponent not having a ranged weapon is just plain silly in this day and age, and very often the mere sight of said handgun will make the threat quickly rethink it's life choices and decide to _stop_ being a threat, thereby negating the need to even use a weapon in the first place, a pistol aimed at your chest or noggin is quite the incredible deterrent, much more so than someone weilding a long flashlight menacingly😂. Not to mention you don't have to sacrifice either striking or lighting your target for the other, with a pistol and LED light you can do both, much more efficiently. Long story short, don't use a club with a light attached to it when you can use a firearm with a light attached to it...
I can’t think of a single situation where you need such a powerful light, half of that would be more than sufficient and won’t blind everyone in your path
It's nuts when you think about it! I have a Maglite XL50 from 2015 (which is a pocket EDC light) rated at 200 lumens. My Olight Baton 3 Pro Max is almost exactly the same size: same body girth but, actually shorter than the mag. My EDC today (the Baton 3) is literally one thousand, two hundred and 50 percent brighter at 2,500 lumens. Waaay longer run times and way more modes/features including being fully waterproof. Pretty wild!
I still have my big purple and little keychain maglites. Always thought it was nice of them to give you a spare bulb under the spring in the battery compartment.😊💡🔦
I realised my "ultimate" torch the whole time is basically replicating incandescent with the efficiency of LED. A Convoy S12 with 219B 3000k is about as close as I'll get.
I got a maglite around the same time (2008-ish) and I remember being excited and thinking about how I would have it for a long time. I do, in fact, still have it and it has hardly been used thanks to how far LEDs came right around that time as well.
An incandescent 4D Maglite was NOT the "world's brightest" in '08. It was a standard utility unit & police issue, more for its usefulness in also being ready to bop someone over the head with if necessary.
That is not a standard maglite, it is shown in the video it was a Mag 623. The number is the over driven aftermarket bulb it uses, powered by high drain lithium cells. The mag 623 is something like 20 times brighter than the stock light.

As a retired rescue worker ill have the mag light over that any day of the week. The mag light could go 8 hours on one set of batteries didn't blind airline pilots and was easer to carry in a belt loop.

The SR32 will probably atleast momentarily blind someone though (120k lumens Is a lot), giving you time to get away from someone. So one Is more offence while the other Is defence

Why do I have the urge to shine it in my eyes for one second.
Maglite is still in business for a reason, their products are reliable and last. That bulky flashlight won't last as long.
Hmm interesting as I actually own one and have had it for 2 years and it works absolutely flawlessly
@@wizard_of_poz4413yea well chuckiewashere doubts that cuz maglite good and new stuff bad
@@wizard_of_poz4413wow 2 years lmao… come back in 16 years and we’ll see how it is then
The Maglite also has an LED version with a very long runtime, 42 hours if I remember correctly. I doubt the other flashlight can output that much light for more than 1 hour.
@brinckau no the turbo mode cuts off after a minute. However if you keep it around 700 to 2k lumens it'll run for a good long time before you have to recharge
My man brought a model T Ford to a Bugatti fight.
I had a brighter flashlight that plugged into my cars cigarette lighter, and it was made way before 2008. This video maker has no idea what he's talking about.
*Friends, I did 21 one arm pull ups, please support me*
This reminds me of the scene from “Jango” when the clan tries to ambush the wagon at night 😂

Does it kick when you turn it on?
😂
Lmaooaoooaoaoo.!!
way underrated comment
I was thinking the same thig
yes! and it makes the same sound..
remember when Arney turned Christine's headlights on!?
It's soo bright, I can hear it.
You’re hearing the fan wind up in the torch
At the start I flinched when he aimed the second one at the camera…
That beam hit so far in the distance I'm confident it reaches the back of your body again.
I remember that red 2008 flashlight. We had one just like it. We kept it on the night stand next to the door so if an intruder ever came in we could beat them with it. It was heavy AF.
😅 functional, utilitarian
the beam on that maglite is beautiful
What is the upgrade on that one??
The other is probably fine too, it is just over saturating the camera and makes it look off.
😂😂😂😂😂 we watched all these vids decades ago, now again!! 🤣🤣🤣 Crazy its all starting to make perfect sense so smart 😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Yeah that 2008 maglite.. still have em..4D😊
I have 20 D cell batteries, I will trade for a car or a Nice boat. 😉
Lmao buying that many d batteries got the employees thinking your girls b.o.b. it getting used alot

I was given a 2d a few weeks ago, and I replaced the button rubber and put a 300lm led bulb in it, and now it's my go-to flashlight.
That was not the world’s brightest flashlight in 2008. It was the UB3T Invictus by SureFire.
They say if you look into one while its on, it gives you the same superpower as Daredevil
Hey that's not a flashlight it's a whole bloody lighthouse he brought 😂

@@kabhimanyurathod3406Yeah, Portable Fusion Reactor Flashlights.
Nothing most likely as we create flashlights that instantly blind its user.
Cheap night vision

2 Questions:
1. how long will the batteries last?
2. How long will the flashlight last?
I'll take the maglite
The battery wouldn’t last long maybe 2 hours on high honestly maglight is the best option for practical applications
3. How many people can I beat before it breaks? I'll stick w/ maglite
I'll take an olight javelot over either of these
@@gocardz6028 Or, carry a modern single 18650 cell LED flashlight that puts out a couple thousand lumens and fits comfortably inside your pocket, along with a concealed pistol preferably with another 1k lumen LED mounted to it. If you're in a situation where you can legally use a 6-cell Maglite flashlight as a striking baton, then you're also in a situation where you can dump several 124gr hollowpoints into your attacker's chest, the courts will lump both options into the same category, "deadly weapon". Call me crazy, but relying on your opponent not having a ranged weapon is just plain silly in this day and age, and very often the mere sight of said handgun will make the threat quickly rethink it's life choices and decide to _stop_ being a threat, thereby negating the need to even use a weapon in the first place, a pistol aimed at your chest or noggin is quite the incredible deterrent, much more so than someone weilding a long flashlight menacingly😂. Not to mention you don't have to sacrifice either striking or lighting your target for the other, with a pistol and LED light you can do both, much more efficiently.
Long story short, don't use a club with a light attached to it when you can use a firearm with a light attached to it...
4. How long does it take to blind someone with this?
I can’t think of a single situation where you need such a powerful light, half of that would be more than sufficient and won’t blind everyone in your path
You are basically setting fire to the field with the 2023 flashlight 😂
It's nuts when you think about it! I have a Maglite XL50 from 2015 (which is a pocket EDC light) rated at 200 lumens. My Olight Baton 3 Pro Max is almost exactly the same size: same body girth but, actually shorter than the mag.
My EDC today (the Baton 3) is literally one thousand, two hundred and 50 percent brighter at 2,500 lumens. Waaay longer run times and way more modes/features including being fully waterproof. Pretty wild!
And the olight charging setup is awesome
If everything is literally, nothing is literally.
Damn , he could see into the future with that badboy .
Idk why this popped up in my main page feed 😂
Very calming and interesting though!! ❤
I still have my big purple and little keychain maglites. Always thought it was nice of them to give you a spare bulb under the spring in the battery compartment.😊💡🔦
I realised my "ultimate" torch the whole time is basically replicating incandescent with the efficiency of LED. A Convoy S12 with 219B 3000k is about as close as I'll get.
Can’t wait to see this footage used on another Shaddow hawk flashlight add
I got a maglite around the same time (2008-ish) and I remember being excited and thinking about how I would have it for a long time. I do, in fact, still have it and it has hardly been used thanks to how far LEDs came right around that time as well.
It’s the comparison I never thought I needed
An incandescent 4D Maglite was NOT the "world's brightest" in '08. It was a standard utility unit & police issue, more for its usefulness in also being ready to bop someone over the head with if necessary.
That is not a standard maglite, it is shown in the video it was a Mag 623. The number is the over driven aftermarket bulb it uses, powered by high drain lithium cells. The mag 623 is something like 20 times brighter than the stock light.
That maglight certainly was not the brightest thing in 2008. I certainly had better, brighter and less fragile lights with me for my trip to Iraq.
Yeah, I hope you weren't there k*lling people.
Imagine using this is a self defense weapon. Like you're trying to mug somebody and they pull out a pocket sun

@@ks_palerider94 Lol it's the future, everything will be insanely more expensive unless world currencies collapse and they can save the financial markets somehow. 30 years is a long time.
LEDs were introduced to flashlights in 1999. No way that mag was the brightest in 2008
In 2008 my engineer friend Norm had some ignorant flashlights. (Lights so strong they will give you a suntan and burn out your eyeballs. These are sick, like a ships spotlight) One of them had an HID lamp in it. Even to this day that flashlight is sick and evil
@@KlodFather ignorant flashlights? What does that mean?
@@KlodFather I’ve still no idea what you mean by ‘ignorant’ flashlight.

@@KlodFather using the word “ignorant” incorrectly = 🤦♂️
As a retired rescue worker ill have the mag light over that any day of the week. The mag light could go 8 hours on one set of batteries didn't blind airline pilots and was easer to carry in a belt loop.
That flashlight is brighter than my future 😢😅😂

When that second light came on I expected Dragonlord to cry out an alert to the shocktroopers.
Ima vouch for the mag lite though. Still have it, still works, and it’s the perfect heavy weapon to use for self defense because of how heavy it is.
Careful you might start the grass on fire!
