The Maglite® ML25IT Classic 3-Cell C Incandescent Flashlight is a mid-size flashlight that combines classic Maglite® construction with a streamlined twist-head operating system, adjustable focusing, and traditional Xenon incandescent illumination. Using the latest ANSI performance data provided, it delivers a 222-meter beam distance, 12,435 candela peak beam intensity, and 63 lumens, with approximately 3 hours 15 minutes of runtime. Its adjustable spot-to-flood beam, vintage incandescent illumination, twist-head ON/OFF and focus control, hands-free Candle Mode, rugged machined aluminum construction, diamond-knurled grip, water-resistant design, replaceable lamp system, spare lamp in the tail cap, and three-C-cell power source make it practical for home, work, vehicle storage, emergency preparedness, outdoor use, and users who prefer the straightforward operation and character of a classic incandescent flashlight.

1. 222-Meter Beam Reach, 12,435 Candela & Up to 3-Hour 15-Minute Runtime

The Maglite® ML25IT Classic 3-Cell C Incandescent Flashlight combines its mid-size form with substantial beam reach. Its focused beam reaches 222 meters (approximately 728 feet) and produces 12,435 candela peak beam intensity, providing concentrated illumination for viewing objects and areas at distance.

Maximum output is 63 lumens, with approximately 3 hours 15 minutes of runtime. This combination provides practical illumination for property checks, household tasks, vehicle use, emergency preparedness, work environments, and outdoor applications.

• Beam Distance: 222 m / approx. 728 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 12,435 cd

• Runtime: 3 hr. 15 min.

• Light Source: Xenon Incandescent

• Output Configuration: Single Output

2. Xenon Incandescent Technology, Adjustable-Focus Beam & 1.7-Inch Head

The Maglite® ML25IT Classic 3-Cell C Incandescent Flashlight uses a Xenon incandescent lamp, providing traditional filament-based illumination rather than an LED light engine. This delivers the familiar vintage incandescent illumination associated with classic flashlight technology.

The flashlight incorporates Maglite®'s adjustable spot-to-flood focusing system. Turning the head allows the beam to transition from a concentrated spot for greater reach to a wider flood for illuminating a broader nearby area. Its head measures approximately 1.7 inches / 43.18 mm in diameter.

3. Single-Output Operation, Twist-Head ON/OFF Control & Hands-Free Candle Mode

The Maglite® ML25IT Classic 3-Cell C Incandescent Flashlight uses a simple twist-head operating system. Twisting the head provides ON/OFF operation, while turning it further adjusts the focusing system from a concentrated spot beam to a wider flood beam.

The flashlight also supports hands-free Candle Mode. The head can be removed and used as a base for the flashlight, allowing exposed light from the lamp to provide stationary area illumination.

• Operating Configuration: Single Output

• ON/OFF Control: Twist Head

• Focus Control: Twist Head

• Focus: Adjustable Spot to Flood

• Hands-Free Function: Candle Mode

• Runtime: 3 hr. 15 min.

• Beam Distance: 222 m

4. 8.6-Inch Machined Aluminum Body, Mid-Size Design & Diamond-Knurled Grip

The Maglite® ML25IT Classic 3-Cell C Incandescent Flashlight features rugged machined aluminum construction in a mid-size C-cell format. Its barrel incorporates a diamond-knurled gripping surface that adds texture for secure handling.

The flashlight measures approximately 8.6 inches / 218.44 mm long and weighs approximately 14.4 ounces / 408.23 grams with batteries installed. The 1.2-inch / 30.48 mm barrel diameter provides a substantial grip while retaining a slimmer profile than a full-size D-cell flashlight.

• Product Type: Mid Size

• Construction: Rugged Machined Aluminum

• Grip: Diamond-Knurled Barrel

• Length: 8.6 in. / 218.44 mm

• Barrel Diameter: 1.2 in. / 30.48 mm

Its rugged machined aluminum construction adds durability for regular home, work, vehicle, and outdoor use.

The flashlight uses a replaceable Xenon incandescent lamp system, with a spare lamp stored in the tail cap for convenient onboard replacement. The supplied specifications list drop resistance as N/A, so no specific drop-resistance rating is claimed.

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.
