The Maglite® ML50L® 2-Cell C LED Flashlight is a mid-size, high-performance LED flashlight designed for home, work, emergency preparedness, outdoor activities, vehicle use, security, and general-purpose illumination. Powered by two standard C-cell alkaline batteries, it produces up to 466 lumens, projects a beam up to 291 meters (approximately 955 feet), and delivers 21,197 candela of peak beam intensity. Three power levels provide 8 hours 15 minutes on High, 13 hours on Low, and up to 109 hours in Eco Mode. The ML50L 2C also features Maglite® Quick Focus® spot-to-flood adjustment, the QuickClik® electronic switch, four selectable function sets, LED Heat-Sink Technology, rugged machined aluminum construction, water resistance, and 1-meter drop resistance.

1. 291-Meter Beam Reach, Up to 109-Hour Runtime & 466 Lumens

The ML50L 2C combines practical brightness, long-range beam performance, and extended battery life in a compact two-C-cell design. At maximum output, the flashlight produces 466 lumens and projects a focused beam up to 291 meters (approximately 955 feet) with 21,197 candela of peak beam intensity.

Three output levels allow light output and battery life to be matched to the task. High delivers 466 lumens for up to 8 hours 15 minutes, Low delivers 108 lumens for up to 13 hours, and Eco Mode delivers 25 lumens for up to 109 hours. The extended Eco runtime provides more than four days of continuous light for situations where conserving battery power is a priority.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 21,197 cd

• Runtime – High: 8 hr. 15 min.

• Runtime – Low: 13 hr.

• Runtime – Eco: 109 hr.

• Light Output – High: 466 lumens

• Light Output – Low: 108 lumens

• Light Output – Eco: 25 lumens

• Maximum Light Output: 466 lumens

2. LED Heat-Sink Technology with Quick Focus® Spot-to-Flood Beam Control

The ML50L 2C uses LED technology with LED Heat-Sink Technology to help manage heat produced by the LED and support efficient flashlight performance. Its optical system is paired with Maglite® Quick Focus®, giving the user fast control over beam shape directly from the flashlight head.

With approximately a ¼ turn of the head, the beam adjusts from a concentrated spot for longer-range viewing to a broad flood for illuminating a wider nearby area. This allows the same flashlight to transition quickly between distance viewing, general illumination, work tasks, and close-range use.

• Light Source / Technology: LED

• LED Thermal Management: LED Heat-Sink Technology

• Focusing System: Quick Focus®

• Beam Adjustment: Spot-to-Flood

• Focus Adjustment: Approximately ¼ turn of the head

• Maximum Beam Distance: 291 m

• Peak Beam Intensity: 21,197 cd

• Head Diameter: 1.977 in. / 50.22 mm

3. QuickClik® Multi-Mode Operation with 4 Selectable Function Sets

The ML50L 2C uses Maglite®'s QuickClik® electronic switch to provide multiple operating functions without requiring multiple switches. Available functions include Full Power, Low Power, Eco Mode, Momentary, and Strobe, with four selectable function sets that organize those functions according to different types of use.

The General function set provides Full Power, Low Power, and Eco. Outdoor provides Full Power, Low Power, and Strobe. Law Enforcement provides Momentary, Full Power, and Eco. Tactical provides Momentary, Full Power, and Strobe. The selected function set determines which function is accessed with one, two, or three clicks.

This activity-based system allows the flashlight to prioritize straightforward everyday operation or provide faster access to specialized functions such as Momentary and Strobe.

Mag Instrument’s (Maglite®) only factory in Southern California is, and always has been. Our entire manufacturing workforce – from product-development engineers to automation specialists to machinists — reports to work there, as it always has. However, we can’t make every part, component, and accessory under our roof.  When we have to go outside, our strong preference is to procure such parts from a maker that is not only domestic but, if possible, local.

But in this age of trade globalization, it is not always practical for the manufacturer of any product of any complexity to procure all the needed parts and components domestically.  In addition to price, there are other and often far more important considerations, like consistent quality and stability in the supply chain.  We have even faced situations where no potential domestic supplier was interested in bidding on a part- or component-supply contract.  And so it is necessary, from time to time, to go overseas for a part or component, as much as we do not like to do that.

So when we say we are “A U.S.A. Manufacturer” whose flashlights are “Built In America,” we do not mean that no part, component, or accessory of one of our flashlights is ever imported. What we  DO mean is that our flashlights are, and always have been, invented, designed, and engineered in America and assembled in and shipped from our American factory where all of the body parts and most of the other parts are made, even if some parts, components, and accessories may need to be sourced from an overseas supplier.  And when our product includes some foreign content, we duly note that on the package labeling.

In this way, we strive to save as many American jobs as possible by keeping our manufacturing as American as it can be and still yield a reliable supply of a product of the quality our consumers demand at a price they will accept.

Mag Instrument, Inc. warrants to the original owner that this flashlight is free from defects in parts and workmanship for ten years from the date of first retail purchase.  Mag or an authorized Mag Warranty Service Center will, free of charge, repair or, at its option, replace a defective flashlight or component. (Mag does not warrant the future availability of particular colors or decorations, and may replace a custom flashlight with a standard flashlight.)  This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied.

EXCLUSIONS: This warranty does not cover any of the following: 1. Battery exhaustion; 2. Battery leakage; 3. LED burnout and/or LED module failure; or 4. Damage to or failure of the flashlight or any component thereof due to alteration, misuse, battery leakage or lack of maintenance.

Mag Disclaims any responsibility for incidental or consequential damages. Some jurisdictions (countries, provinces, and states) do not allow exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, incidental or consequential damages and/or limitations on transferability, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

HOW AND WHEN TO MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM: 1. In case of battery exhaustion, do not return the flashlight to Mag, but replace the batteries. 2. If the flashlight has been damaged by leakage of batteries, do not return the flashlight to Mag, but determine what brand of battery caused the damage and follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions about how to make a damage claim. 3. For warranty returns: Send the flashlight (postage or shipping prepaid) to Mag Instrument, 2001 South Hellman Avenue - 50600, Ontario, California, USA 91761-8019, Attention: Warranty/Repair Department, or to an authorized Mag Warranty Service Center. For the location of an authorized Mag Warranty Service Center in your area, consult the retailer where you purchased the flashlight or see the customer service section at www.maglite.com. For your protection and to expedite handling and/or postal claims, we recommend that all returns be insured and sent Certified and/or Return Receipt Requested. Do not send batteries with flashlights.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from country to country, province to province, and state to state. Where any term of this warranty is prohibited by the law of any jurisdiction, such term shall there be null and void, but the remainder of this warranty shall remain in full force and effect. THESE STATEMENTS DO NOT AFFECT THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER.
