The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight is a full-size flashlight built around the traditional Maglite® D-cell platform, combining rugged construction, refined optics, adjustable focusing, and classic incandescent illumination. Using the latest ANSI performance data provided, it delivers a 267-meter beam distance, 17,900 candela peak beam intensity, and 98 lumens, with approximately 9 hours 35 minutes of runtime. Its adjustable spot-to-flood beam, vintage incandescent illumination, push-button operation, machined aluminum construction, diamond-knurled grip, water-resistant design, replaceable lamp system, spare lamp in the tail cap, and four-D-cell power source make it practical for home, work, property, vehicle, emergency preparedness, outdoor use, and users who prefer the familiar operation of a classic full-size incandescent flashlight.

1. 267-Meter Beam Reach, 17,900 Candela & Up to 9-Hour 35-Minute Runtime

The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight combines a full-size reflector and focusing system with an incandescent lamp to provide substantial beam reach. Its focused beam reaches 267 meters (approximately 876 feet) and produces 17,900 candela peak beam intensity, providing concentrated illumination for viewing objects at distance.

Maximum output is 98 lumens, while runtime is approximately 9 hours 35 minutes. The combination of beam intensity, runtime, and adjustable focusing gives the flashlight practical versatility for both long-range viewing and broader nearby illumination.

• Beam Distance: 267 m / approx. 876 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 17,900 cd

• Runtime: 9 hr. 35 min.

• Maximum Output: 98 lumens

• Light Source: Incandescent Lamp

• Output Configuration: Single Output

2. Vintage Incandescent Technology, 267-Meter Adjustable-Focus Beam & 2.25-Inch Head

The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight uses traditional incandescent lamp technology, providing filament-based illumination rather than an LED light engine. This gives the flashlight the familiar vintage incandescent illumination associated with classic Maglite® D-cell flashlights.

Maglite®'s optical system incorporates an adjustable spot-to-flood beam. Rotating the head smoothly changes the beam from a concentrated spot for seeing farther to a wider flood for illuminating a broader surrounding area, giving the user direct mechanical control over beam shape.

3. Single-Output Operation, Push-Button Switching & Adjustable Spot-to-Flood Control

The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight uses straightforward single-output operation with a traditional body-mounted push-button switch. This provides simple on/off control without electronic mode menus or multiple brightness settings.

Beam pattern is controlled independently by rotating the flashlight head. The adjustable-focus system lets the user transition from a concentrated spot beam for greater reach to a wider flood beam for illuminating more of the immediate surroundings.

• Operating Configuration: Single Output

• Primary Control: Push-Button Switch

• Focus: Adjustable Spot to Flood

• Focus Control: Rotating Head

• Electronic Multi-Mode Switching: No

• Runtime: 9 hr. 35 min.

5. Four D-Cell Alkaline Batteries & Up to 9-Hour 35-Minute Runtime

The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight is powered by four D-cell alkaline batteries. Its replaceable D-cell configuration supplies power to the traditional incandescent lighting system while providing approximately 9 hours 35 minutes of runtime using the latest ANSI performance data.

Batteries are not included, and the flashlight is not rechargeable. The conventional replaceable-battery design is practical for home, workplace, vehicle, property, emergency-kit, and outdoor applications where readily replaceable D-cell power is preferred.

6. Water-Resistant Aluminum Housing & Replaceable Incandescent Lamp System

The Maglite® Classic 4-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight is specified as water resistant, providing practical protection for everyday situations involving rain, splashing water, or damp conditions. Its aluminum housing contributes to the durable construction associated with the classic full-size Maglite® design.

The flashlight uses a replaceable incandescent lamp system rather than an integrated LED light engine. A spare lamp is stored in the tail cap, providing a convenient backup as part of the traditional Maglite® D-cell design.

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.
