I don't know if this is the right section, but I just saw a maglite commercial on the discovery channel. I only saw the end, but it talked about mags new MAGLED technoligy. I just thought I'd tell guys. I don't know if they've ever had a comercial before. If there is any other threads about it, please say.

I recall having seen their commercials over the years, but last night for the first time saw their updated one which touts their MAG-LED Technology - during the final four seconds or so...

I haven't seen any commercials either, but have seen the LED Maglite - one version anyway - in the store.

You guys must be young. Maglite used to have a TV add where they showed one run over by a truck and it still worked. I think it was in the late 80's. But it has been quite awhile since I saw them advertise. Maybe they are feeling some heat from the other guys.

I don't have cable, so I only get to see what's on the big networks..

I do remember the one where the semi runs over a Maglite, though -

Haha, I was just about to start a thread about seeing a maglite commercial. It just aired on the history channel.

The commercial stated it was a great gift for the holidays.

1st maglite commercial on television i've seen.

I've seen the commercial a few times. It appears to be at least a few years old ... if not a decade or more. At the very end they have added a mention of their (old) LED models.

Anyone remember the comercial where the cop claims to have been on a bridge when it collapsed ... so he thought to reach into the glove compartment of his cruiser and pull out a flashlight to signal with? Was that a commercial for lights or batteries? :confused:

LukeA, did the one you see have a bunch of different models shining in the air near the end? The one on youtube was not the one I saw.

I saw the commercial yesterday... I was laughing too. I think at one point it said "Brightest flashlights in the world". :ohgeez: They better start putting :caution: stickers on them! :crackup:

Don't get me wrong...I do love the MagLites... great host.

never seen any maglite commercial though, probably not in Discovery channel asia. Funny to hear "brightest light in the world" propaganda :)
why are they so conservative in technology side but aggresive in their add?

I think that's what they said...but I could be wrong. Somebody correct me if so. I'll have to keep watching to see if the commercial comes up again.
