The Maglite® Blue Spectrum XL50® LED Flashlight is a compact, three-AAA specialty flashlight that combines the XL50® platform with a purpose-built blue Spectrum LED and convenient electronic tail-cap operation. The blue beam is designed for applications where blue illumination offers advantages over conventional white light, including low-light map and chart reading, preserving visibility of map symbols, notes and elevation markings, blood tracking, forensic work, crime-scene examination, quality inspections, and hygiene audits. It delivers 61 lumens on High, a 109-meter beam distance, 2,967 candela peak beam intensity, and runtime of 5 hours 30 minutes on High or 23 hours on Low. The QuickClik® electronic switch, multiple operating modes, LED Heat-Sink Technology, aluminum construction, and water-resistant design make it a practical specialty light for field, professional, inspection, and everyday applications.

1. Beam and Runtime Capabilities

The Blue Spectrum XL50® LED produces up to 61 lumens of blue light, with an ANSI/PLATO FL 1 beam distance of 109 meters (approximately 358 feet) and 2,967 candela peak beam intensity. Its focused blue output provides substantially greater reach than a small keychain-style specialty light while retaining the visual characteristics that make blue illumination useful for specialized tasks.

The flashlight provides 61 lumens on High with 5 hours 30 minutes of runtime and 10 lumens on Low with up to 23 hours of runtime. This gives the user a choice between maximum blue-light output and an extended-runtime setting for lower-output tasks.

2. Technology and Features in the Head of the Flashlight

The flashlight uses a specialized Blue Spectrum LED light engine rather than a conventional white LED. Blue illumination is useful for applications such as low-light map and chart reading because it can provide detail without washing out symbols, notes, or elevation markings. It is also used for specialized field, blood-tracking, forensic, crime-scene, inspection, and hygiene-related applications.

The LED system incorporates LED Heat-Sink Technology to help manage heat generated by the LED and support dependable operation within the compact aluminum flashlight. Electronic power management works with the flashlight's multiple output settings to control power delivery from the three AAA batteries.

The XL50® design provides a compact head integrated into the flashlight's cylindrical form, producing a concentrated blue beam with 2,967 candela of peak intensity and an ANSI-rated reach of 109 meters.

3. Power/Mode Functions

The Blue Spectrum XL50® LED uses Maglite®'s QuickClik® electronic tail-cap switch, allowing the flashlight's functions to be selected from the tail cap rather than by twisting the head. The electronic interface is designed for fast one-handed access to the available operating functions.

The flashlight provides Full Power, Low Power, and Strobe functions. Full Power delivers the maximum 61-lumen blue output. Low Power reduces output to 10 lumens and extends runtime to approximately 23 hours. Strobe provides a flashing blue-light function when a signaling or attention-getting output is needed.

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.
