The Maglite® Warm White Spectrum XL50® LED Flashlight is a compact, three-AAA specialty flashlight that combines the XL50® platform with a purpose-built warm white Spectrum LED and convenient electronic tail-cap operation. Its warm white beam is designed to provide more natural color rendering than typical cool-white LEDs, making it especially useful for electronics work, wire and cable identification, inspections, confined spaces, maintenance, repair work, close-detail tasks, and extended-use applications where accurate color recognition is important. The flashlight delivers 140 lumens on High, a 186-meter beam distance, 8,609 candela peak beam intensity, and runtime of 6 hours on High or 31 hours on Low. The QuickClik® electronic switch, multiple operating modes, LED Heat-Sink Technology, aluminum construction, and water-resistant design provide practical performance in a compact handheld package.

1. Beam and Runtime Capabilities

The Warm White Spectrum XL50® LED produces up to 140 lumens of warm white light, with an ANSI/PLATO FL 1 beam distance of 186 meters (approximately 610 feet) and 8,609 candela peak beam intensity. Its warm white output is designed to provide useful illumination while allowing colors and fine details to appear more natural than under many cool-white LED light sources.

The flashlight provides 140 lumens on High with 6 hours of runtime and 24 lumens on Low with up to 31 hours of runtime. This gives the user a choice between maximum output and a lower-output setting suited to close-range work, extended tasks, and battery conservation.

• Maximum Output: 140 lumens

• Low Output: 24 lumens

• Beam Color: Warm White

• Beam Distance: 186 m / approx. 610 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 8,609 cd

• Runtime – High: 6 hr.

• Runtime – Low: 31 hr.

• Runtime – Eco: N/A

• Light Source: Warm White Spectrum LED

2. Technology and Features in the Head of the Flashlight

The flashlight uses a specialized Warm White Spectrum LED light engine rather than a conventional cool-white LED. Warm white illumination allows a broader range of colors to remain visually distinguishable, making it useful when examining colored wires, cables, components, surfaces, and other details where color recognition matters.

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 regulate available battery power during operation.

The compact XL50® optical system produces a concentrated warm white beam with 8,609 candela peak intensity and an ANSI-rated beam distance of 186 meters.

3. Power/Mode Functions

The Warm White Spectrum XL50® LED uses Maglite®'s QuickClik® electronic tail-cap switch, allowing the available functions to be selected directly from the tail cap. The multi-mode electronic interface provides quick access to different lighting functions without requiring a separate side switch.

The flashlight provides Full Power, Low Power, and Strobe functions. Full Power delivers the maximum 140-lumen warm white output. Low Power reduces output to 24 lumens and extends runtime to approximately 31 hours. Strobe provides a flashing-light function for signaling, attention-getting, or emergency applications.

4. Build, Construction and Grip

The Warm White Spectrum XL50® LED is built around a compact aluminum body designed to provide durability while remaining easy to carry. At approximately 4.8 inches (121.92 mm) long with a 1-inch (25.4 mm) barrel diameter, it fits readily into pockets, tool bags, electronics kits, maintenance equipment, vehicle kits, emergency supplies, and other compact storage locations.

The cylindrical aluminum body incorporates a textured knurled grip for secure handling and control. The compact XL50® configuration positions the QuickClik® electronic switch at the tail cap for convenient operation. The Warm White Spectrum version uses a black body with a silver accent identifying the warm white Spectrum model.

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.
