For comparison: What is the brightness of standard C and D flashlights/Maglights?

HighlanderNorth · Oct 15, 2011

I wanted to compare the brightness of some basic 2-3 and 4 C&D cell flashlights Vs. the brightness of many newer LED flashlights, but when I went on to the Mag Industries, Maglight website, I couldnt find the brightness specs of their lights.

So what would the lumen ratings of the following types of flashlights be:

1. 2 D cell maglight?
2. 3 D cell Maglight?
3. 4 D cell Maglight?
4. Standard, cheap, plastic 2 D cell flashlight?

Thanks........

Incandescent or LED maglites?

A 4D maglite on fresh batteries outputs around 70 lumens (this reduces very very fast) while a cheap 2D light outputs 10-20 lumens, generally speaking.
