Maglite XL100

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

Have not bought a Mag in a long long time but this one sounds pretty interesting. Surely it will be able to take lithium batteries?? I hope they become available soon!
 
Hello all. I'm new here so I try to write something useful. The new XL-100 was tested by finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma 2009-20 (World of technology). Nothing special on this test, but nothing bad to say either. Actually the unit tested here was a prototype which exists 5 pieces. They write that the manufacturer will later inform the maximum power and water resistance of the torch as the informations wait for international testing standard.

Weight with batteries: 114 grams
Length: 122 mm
Diameter: 25 mm
Price: 74,90 € in Finland (Which I think is awful high)

Good info and :welcome:

but do you think you can post a scan of the article?
Jeez that is expensive.
 
I've always liked maglites because of their simplicity and high reliability. With this new XL100 I'm not quite sure what to think and after watching the video of it I'm not sure it should be marketed as a "tactical" light either, however if they were to bring out a version of the light that only had the dimming function (and maybe a tail cap lockout function if not already implemented) as i can just press the button in quick succession if i wanted to "strobe" it or signal "SOS", than I would not hesitate to purchase it. 🙂

I'm pretty sure that advertising it as a "tactical light" is just a marketing ploy for average consumers and collectors because I can't picture anybody who needs a flashlight for actual tactical use would ever consider anything like this no matter what label it had.
 
Not a bad price at $35.99. The only thing that puts me off is the three AAA cells.
 
I think you have to press and hold the switch for any of the motion activated controls to work.
