The Maglite® Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED Flashlight is an ultra-compact, single-AAA specialty flashlight that combines the familiar Solitaire® form with a purpose-built red Spectrum LED. The red beam is designed for applications where red illumination offers advantages over conventional white light, including protecting night vision, reducing eye strain in low-level-light conditions, viewing fine details with enhanced contrast, aircraft cockpit use, truck cab use, confined-space work, nighttime navigation, astronomy, and other tasks where maintaining dark adaptation is important. Small enough for a pocket, keychain, flight bag, field kit, tool kit, or emergency kit, it delivers 33 lumens, a 35-meter beam distance, 304 candela peak beam intensity, and 1 hour of runtime. Adjustable spot-to-flood focus, LED Heat-Sink Technology, basic power management, aluminum construction, and IPX7 waterproof protection provide practical performance in an exceptionally compact package.

1. Beam and Runtime Capabilities

The Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED produces 33 lumens of red light, with an ANSI/PLATO FL 1 beam distance of 35 meters (approximately 115 feet) and 304 candela peak beam intensity. Rather than being designed simply to maximize conventional white-light brightness, its red output provides specialized illumination for situations where maintaining night vision and reducing the disruptive effects of bright white light are important.

Red light is particularly useful in low-light environments because it can help preserve a user's dark adaptation while providing enough illumination for navigation, equipment checks, reading, and close-range tasks. The flashlight delivers approximately 1 hour of runtime at its primary output.

• Maximum Output: 33 lumens

• Beam Color: Red

• Beam Distance: 35 m / approx. 115 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 304 cd

• Runtime – High: 1 hr.

• Runtime – Low: N/A

2. Technology and Features in the Head of the Flashlight

The flashlight uses a specialized Red Spectrum LED light engine rather than a conventional white LED. The red wavelength provides task-specific illumination for pilots, drivers, technicians, outdoor users, astronomers, field personnel, and other users who need useful illumination while minimizing interference with night vision.

The LED system incorporates LED Heat-Sink Technology to help manage heat produced by the LED and support dependable operation within the flashlight's compact aluminum body. Basic power management regulates available battery power during operation.

The head also provides Maglite®'s spot-to-flood adjustable focus. Rotating the head changes the beam from a tighter spot for directing red light at a specific area to a broader flood for closer and wider-area illumination.

3. Power/Mode Functions

Operation follows the simple twist-head design of the Solitaire® platform. Twist the head to turn the flashlight on and off, and continue rotating the head to adjust the beam between spot and flood. There is no separate electronic push-button switch or complicated mode sequence.

The Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED provides one primary Full Power output rather than separate High, Low, and Eco brightness settings. The design also supports hands-free Candle Mode, allowing the flashlight to serve as a small stationary area light when hands-free red illumination is useful.

4. Build, Construction and Grip

The Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED is built around a compact aluminum body measuring only 3-3/16 inches (81 mm) long. Its slim 1/2-inch-diameter profile makes it practical for keychain carry, pockets, flight bags, truck cabs, outdoor equipment, field kits, emergency kits, astronomy gear, and professional tool bags.

The cylindrical body incorporates a deeply grooved textured grip for secure handling and easier rotation of the head during power and focus adjustments. The flashlight has a black body with a red-accented tail cap identifying the red Spectrum LED, along with a key ring/lanyard attachment for convenient carry.

5. Power Source

The Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED operates from one AAA alkaline battery, providing a simple and widely available power source while keeping the flashlight exceptionally compact.

One AAA alkaline battery is included. The flashlight is not rechargeable, so no charging cable, charging port, or proprietary rechargeable battery is required. A depleted battery can simply be replaced, making the flashlight convenient for flight bags, vehicle kits, field equipment, emergency kits, astronomy gear, and professional tool bags where immediate battery replacement may be preferable to waiting for a rechargeable light to charge.

6. Protection and Seal

The Red Spectrum Solitaire® LED carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it is designed to withstand temporary water immersion to a depth of 1 meter under the applicable test conditions. This provides substantially more water protection than a flashlight designed only to resist rain or splashing.

It is also rated for 2-meter drop resistance, adding durability for a compact flashlight likely to be carried on keys, in pockets, flight bags, vehicle kits, outdoor equipment, field kits, or professional gear. Its aluminum housing, waterproof construction, protected LED system, and impact resistance make it suitable for regular field, professional, and everyday use.

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.

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.
