The Maglite® Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AAA LED Flashlight is a compact, three-AAA specialty flashlight built around a dedicated blue Spectrum LED. The blue beam is intended for applications where preserving detail and contrast under specialized low-light conditions is important. According to the supplied Spectrum Series material, blue is the preferred light source for pilots and map reading in low- or no-light environments, because it provides strong detail without washing out symbols, notes, or elevation markings. The supplied material also identifies applications including blood tracking for hunters and use by forensic and crime-scene personnel to detect bodily fluids.

The flashlight delivers 31 lumens, a 54-meter beam distance, 731 candela peak beam intensity, and approximately 2 hours 30 minutes of runtime. Its adjustable spot-to-flood beam, hands-free Candle Mode, compact aluminum construction, IPX7 waterproof protection, and 2-meter drop resistance make it a specialized but highly portable illumination tool.

1. Beam and Runtime Capabilities

The Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AAA LED produces 31 lumens of blue light. Under the supplied ANSI/PLATO FL 1 specifications, the beam reaches 54 meters (approximately 177 feet) and produces 731 candela of peak beam intensity.

The flashlight uses a single primary Full Power output rather than separate High and Low brightness settings. At its 31-lumen output, the supplied runtime is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.

• Maximum Output: 31 lumens

• Beam Color: Blue

• Beam Distance: 54 m / approx. 177 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 731 cd

• Runtime – High: 2 hr. 30 min.

• Runtime – Low: N/A

• Runtime – Eco: N/A

• Light Source: Blue Spectrum LED

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 supplied Spectrum Series information describes blue illumination as particularly useful for pilots, including reading maps in low-light or no-light environments. Blue illumination provides detail while helping prevent map symbols, notes, and elevation markers from becoming washed out.

The supplied material also identifies blue light as useful to hunters for blood tracking and to forensic personnel and crime-scene technicians for detecting bodily fluids.

The head incorporates Maglite®'s familiar spot-to-flood adjustable focus. Twisting the head changes the beam from a tighter concentrated spot to a broader flood pattern, allowing the user to adapt the blue illumination to different viewing distances and working areas.

• LED Type: Blue Spectrum LED

• Beam Color: Blue

• Technology: LED

• Beam Focus: Adjustable Spot to Flood

• Focus Control: Rotating Head

• Maximum Output: 31 lumens

3. Power/Mode Functions

Operation uses the traditional Mini Maglite® twist-head interface. The head is twisted to control the flashlight and adjust its beam between spot and flood.

The supplied feature information also identifies Hands-Free Candle Mode for this Mini Maglite® configuration. This allows the light to be configured as a small stationary area light when hands-free illumination is useful.

Unlike electronic multi-mode Maglite models, this flashlight does not provide separate High, Low, Eco, Strobe, or electronically selected brightness modes. Its primary illumination function is the 31-lumen Full Power blue beam.

• Primary Light Mode: Full Power

• Full-Power Output: 31 lumens

• Beam Adjustment: Spot to Flood

• Hands-Free Function: Candle Mode

• High Runtime: 2 hr. 30 min.

• Low Mode: No

• Eco Mode: No

• Electronic Multi-Mode Switching: No

4. Build, Construction and Grip

The Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AAA LED uses a compact aluminum flashlight body designed around three AAA batteries. At approximately 5 inches (127 mm) long, it remains small enough for convenient storage in a pocket, equipment pouch, flight bag, field kit, tool kit, vehicle kit, or other compact storage location.

Its narrow 0.5-inch / 12.70 mm barrel maintains the classic Mini Maglite® profile, while the 0.75-inch / 19 mm head provides the rotating control surface used for operation and beam focusing.

The compact proportions and aluminum construction make the flashlight particularly suitable for specialized applications where a dedicated blue light needs to remain readily available without the size of a larger flashlight.

• Construction: Aluminum

• Body Style: Compact / Slim Handheld

• Spectrum Identification: Blue

• Grip: Textured / Knurled Body

• Length: 5 in. / 127 mm

• Barrel Diameter: 0.5 in. / 12.70 mm

5. Power Source

The Blue Spectrum Mini Maglite® AAA LED operates on three AAA alkaline batteries. The supplied specifications state that alkaline batteries are included.

The flashlight is not rechargeable, so it does not require a charging cable, charging dock, USB connection, or proprietary rechargeable battery. Its replaceable AAA power source can be useful for field, professional, aviation, hunting, or emergency applications where spare batteries can be carried and installed immediately.

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.

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.
