I don't know of any online site that would sell them for a decent price. But I'm pretty sure someone in the States could buy one at Wal-Mart and mail it too you....I'm not sure what shipping and duty fee's you might encounter though.

In fact, tell you what. PM me your address and zip code and I'll find out what shipping one might cost. If it's ok to you, I can do it for you.

I have shipped stuff to several countries in the EU, and I have found that even the mid-range shipping isnt too bad. Let me check and get back to you.

Why go for a MagLite ????

Go to fenix-store.com and get yourself a Fenix L2T for $ 44.95. Free delivery to Italia.
Put in coupon code: CPF5 and you will get another 5% off ( $42.70 ).

You lose the focus of the MagLed but you gain,
Anti Reflective glass lens. ( Mag=plastic)
Hard anodized (Mag= type 1 anodized, easy scratch)
2 brightnes levels ( Mag only one )
Lots of accesories.
Laynard attachment
etc, etc, etc.

the biggest problem is the lack of heatsinking makes the output drop quickly in use.
look at flashlightreviews.com . I think there are better options out there, just depends on your need.

I endorse David from fenix-store.com as well. Not much better than the L2T with free shipping.

Just wanted to note that the MiniMag LED 3AA has *more* throw than the L2T.

No problem. It's a code for us CPF members and well known here. Shipping to me in the UK has usually been 5 or 6 days so probably a week to Italy. I think you will be happy with the result.
Another good site is lighthound.com for other lights and stuff. Paypal ok and good service.
