The Maglite® Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AA LED Flashlight is a compact, two-AA specialty flashlight that combines the familiar Mini Maglite® platform with a purpose-built blue Spectrum LED. 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. Compact enough for a pocket, flight bag, field kit, hunting gear, inspection kit, or tool bag, it delivers 27 lumens, a 71-meter beam distance, 1,259 candela peak beam intensity, and runtime of 12 hours on High or 32 hours on Low. Adjustable spot-to-flood focus, LED Heat-Sink Technology, power management, aluminum construction, and a water-resistant design provide practical performance in a compact handheld package.

1. Beam and Runtime Capabilities

The Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AA LED produces 27 lumens of blue light on High, with an ANSI/PLATO FL 1 beam distance of 71 meters (approximately 233 feet) and 1,259 candela peak beam intensity. Rather than being designed simply to maximize conventional white-light brightness, its blue output provides specialized illumination for applications where blue light can improve visibility of particular details.

The blue spectrum is particularly useful for reading maps and charts in low-light or no-light environments because it provides detail without washing out symbols, notes, or elevation markers. The flashlight provides 12 hours of runtime on High and up to 32 hours on Low, with the Low setting producing 8 lumens for reduced-output and extended-runtime use.

• Maximum Output: 27 lumens

• Low Output: 8 lumens

• Beam Color: Blue

• Beam Distance: 71 m / approx. 233 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 1,259 cd

• Runtime – High: 12 hr.

• Runtime – Low: 32 hr.

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. The blue wavelength provides task-specific illumination for pilots, field personnel, hunters, forensic personnel, crime-scene technicians, inspectors, and other users who can benefit from blue light.

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

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

3. Power/Mode Functions

Operation follows the familiar twist-head design of the Mini Maglite® platform. Twist the head to operate the flashlight and adjust the beam, allowing the user to transition between focused spot and broader flood illumination without a separate electronic tail-cap switch.

The Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AA LED provides High and Low output levels, with 27 lumens on High and 8 lumens on Low. The design also supports hands-free Candle Mode, allowing the flashlight to serve as a small stationary area light when hands-free illumination is useful.

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.

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.
