That is what I saw at the West Houma Wal Mart yesterday.

It takes 2 C Batteries but has a switching system similar to a Min Maglite.

This thing looked really cool by the way.

It reminded me somewhat of the 1 D Cell Kel Lite.

The model number is ML25T.

Has anyone else seen these?

I have 2 in the mail. Scheduled to arrive Monday.
And for mod types or fans of xenons they also have a ML25IT

Once the LT's show up I'll decide if the IT version will be added to my Mag collection.

This light is so rare...Google doesn't even know about it. The one legit hit is to this thread. Nothing in Canada.

Hard to believe adding a 3rd C cell move the runtime from 2hrs to 18hrs, but yet has less peak cd and lumens ratings. Why would that be?

That's pretty cool! A big MiniMag... Still relatively small, 6" and change long, head about 3/8" slimmer than the regular C/D lights.

I ordered 1 silver to hoping it will be like carrying an old Rayovac Sportsman that doesn't need to be banged against your hand every few seconds to re-light, or.... turned off every few minutes so the cells will last long enough to complete my walk.

Eh, black one too, because to me Mag and black are like peanut butter and grape jelly. They just work.


Another cool thread Eric.

I saw this the other night at Walmart and didn't have my tablet with me to take a pic of it. Meant to post about it and forgot. I was really tempted to pick one up and try it, it's such a neat looking little light.

Maybe I am missing something attractive about this but this light runs for 2 hours?
Seems like an antique to me?

School me if I am wrong.

My guess is the time listed is for the incan version. But just a guess.

It says 2hrs right on the packaging.
I am sort of puzzled by this?

Well these were sitting at the Walmart I went to this morning and …..well….. you know.

So The 2 cell is sort of like a giant MiniMag in a sense but I just don't understand 2 things.
Why just one mode and only 177lm and how could they even get just 2hrs runtime unless they were trying to get the worst time possible?

I think it might just be a direct drive light?

Especially since the 3 cell lists 611 lm somehow for 16 hours!

How does this make any sense at all?

Anyway the 2 cell was $18 and the 3 cell was $33 so either way they each seem like pretty much light for the price even if the run times are wrong on both of them?

I will need to see.

I think they should change the blurb on the package from "Spot to Flood" to "Spot to Ring".

But it is a nice size.

Man, I'm with you Tac. To heck with waiting on FedEx to deliver mine....I'm going to WalMart!!! Hope they have pewter.

On a conspiracy note: I wonder if Mag and a battery maker decided to attempt an increase in slumping sales of C cells...nah...they wouldn't do nuthin' crazy like that.

While there, I'll get some krylon clear coat to do a home-made light orange peel thing if it has the mini mag LED beam.


What is that light behind those Mags AV?
