7D Cell Maglite???

The link to the pic above doesn't work anymore as few of you already figured out a couple of years ago - but luckily the web archive still has it.

edit: remembered the 800 pix rule... cropped&resized it, and also brightened it up a bit in the process

A 6 cell krypton bulb would work fine and be a bit brighter.

+1 on this. The bulbs can stand being overdriven by one cell only. So a six-cell bulb will do nicely. Just make sure you keep a spare in the tailcap.

Are you sure thats a maglite? The head and switch doesn't look right to me.

[1011Tristar]

The head and switch look like it's a Kel Lite.

7D Mag-right. The other two are 6D-one old style, one new.

[willrx]

...and 7C Mag for reference.

I think thats a Kel-Lite, but it is interesting. havent seen a taillike that.

[ABTOMAT]

That's a standard C-cell Kel-Lite. The tailcap is called the "Judo Head" and is styled after the yawara stick the company also made.

Mag-Lite started making flashlights around 1979. The first year or two are different from the later ones we're familiar with, but it's just minor details in the switch. I have a 7D Mag-Lite from the mid '80s. Other than being 2.5" longer than a 6D there's no difference.

Edit: I think it's time my infamous leather sofa make its reappearance. Here's a collection of extra-long police flashlights, with an early Surefire E1 for scale. From the top:

5/12C Kel-Lite BTL-26
5/10C Kel-Lite BTL-22
7C Streamlight with built-in hippy adjuster
7C Kel-Lite with Judo Head
7D Mag-Lite
7D B-Lite
7D Kel-Lite
7D Tru-Grit

Jeez, those things look like weapons!

Look like?

I was just reposting the picture of post #4 by holtz58. Yeah, there were already people back in 2003 who thought it was a Kel-lite. Sure looks like one Abtomat posted.

[willrx]

ABTOMAT,
Thanks for posting those! Also, Hello.

[Sgt. LED]

I have 1 7D cell bulb.

Found it in a drawer. Not the prettiest beam but it's bright.

[Grog]

[ktafil]

Nice!
It's nostalgic i guess.
You would want one if you want to keep uninvited geuests out of your house!

[swampgator]

7C Streamlight with built-in hippy adjuster

That's classic.

[psfwho]

ABTOMAT,

What color is your 7D? Looks dark blue. I have a 7D but it is Electric Blue.

PS I'm new to this Forum, How do you post pictures? I don't see a link to post photos.

[willrx]

You may have to open a hosting account like "photobucket". Is your blue 7D a Maglite? If you can't post your pictures, email them to me and I'll do it. I have to see this.

[psfwho]

Willrx,

Yup,
It is a 7D Maglight. The ONLY one in Electric Blue.

I sent you a photo of it to your e-mail account.

PSF

[willrx]

I've never seen a blue 7D. Here it is from psfwho:

[ABTOMAT]

My 7D Mag-Lite should be black, but in the right light it has a blue cast.

[Flash-lite]

nice long maglites! want them

[N10]

do you guys actually find those lights usable?..the &Ds or 6Ds....i'm thinking abt getting a 6D(actually bugging me)..lol...even though i don't see much of a use for it right now..lol

[willrx]

Very useable as a conversation piece.

[Illum]

hippie adjuster...that's what you call it eh?

[Fresh Light]

I have a 7D Kel. That thing is really a beast. My dad used it to crack a couple heads in LE instances. But, I guess, that was way back when the enforcers packed only 6 rounds on the hip and didn't carry tasers.

[TheInvader]

My local Ace has TWO 6D's available for $27. I'll ship the other one to anywhere in the CONUS for $40 Priority shipped (insured). It's black.

Anyone want to scoop up on that?
