What is the difference between the Maglite AA Mini LED and the Maglite AA regular? Is it brightness? longer lasting? ??

The difference is solely based on size. The mini is nice for cramped spaces.

LED is much brighter. I have owned both. Part of a self defense class recommended using a small LED flashlight to shine in the bad guys eyes because it will affect the bad guys vision. No I have not checked this out.

They are both minis, however, the Maglite mini AA has an incandescent bulb. The Maglite AA LED mini has an LED which is brighter.

As has been already answered, I believe it is simply that the Mini is smaller in size.

There is no difference between the two as I have ordered both before. The MR stands for mini Reflector some of the reflector surface have facets others do not. They are all halogen bulbs...but some are not made with as good quality materials as others...the name brands you find at home depot or other big box sellers are top notch...the others are knock offs and could be made with inferior materials...

You might want to try using complete sentences. You can learn the differences by reading the descriptions and reviews for each light. In brief: The Blaze 2watt is a smidge brighter but the Blaze 2watt Micro is smaller, better balanced, and has better battery life.

For me it lasts about a month using it on my 160 video Led light. That could be broken down into 10 minute intervals, used a few times a week for a month. But it lasts over a hour and a half at full brightness, and make my leds more powerful than the 6 AA option. Plus its saves me a lot of money, rather than buying the Duracell AA 48 Pack. :)

As with most led lights you will get a long life out of 1 double A, when you extend the light from wide angle to narrow the beam becomes square not round. Not a problem just different. It is still a stronger beam than my 4 D cell regular mag light....and much easier to carry.

The Maglite XL200 is a similar light. I trust that one. I don't have any experience with this light.

I use generic, dollar store batteries. With one AA battery, stays really bright for about 40-50 minutes. After that, the light grows dimmer over the next hour of use. I haven't had any problems with this flashlight.

AAA batteries will die much quicker than a 3600mAh 18650 battery so yes you will get brighter light for longer from an 18650. There are several advantages of the lithium-ion. They are all we use.1. They maintain a brighter beam for a longer time.2. You can quickly swap a fully charged battery to keep your light operational.3. You aren't constantly throwing away AAA batteries.

DEAR KO,I had a great surprise with the quality that this product offered. Defnitly, over my expectations. I have a friend who has a regular one, and there is a big difference, in my personal opinion, in terms of brightness and reach between the two models. If I needed to buy it again, I would definitely go for the PRO Led. I hope this helps... Good luck with your purchase!

It sounds like your XL50 might be defective, I've looked around and no one else is complaining about run time. I guess I'm wrong about the lumen comparison but my XL100, which I bought from Amazon, states clearly on the Maglite package that it has 83 lumens. The Maglite webpage for the XL50 says 104 lumens. Either Maglite has made a mix up, or no one yet owns both flashlights.

Those batteries can replace regular aa in certain items only.They give more power than the regular aa but have to be used only in compatible items.For example they are great in this flashlight http://www.amazon.com/BBQbuy-300lm-Flashlight-Torch-Adjustable/dp/B006E0QAFY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355173097&sr=8-2&keywords=mini+flashlight

I haven't dropped any of my Thrunite flashlights so I can't respond on the dropping issue. I have 3 of the Thrunites and the tn35 is by far the best and the brightest ! My tn30 mini is rated at 3200 lumens and my tn35 is brighter. According to reviews, the Thrunites are pretty accurate on their lumens ratings

It's not a matter of brightness. Both emit the same # of lumens. It's a function of the light spectrum they emit. So it's really an aesthetics question. Some people don't care for "white" that's in the 5,000K range and prefer the "warm" or yellowish light emitted at 3500K.

First of all the light produced by the LED is pure white rather than the more yellowish tones associated with an incandescent bulb. Secondly the reflector that comes with the LED bulb assembly has gotten an upgrade over the original version, the light beam is more focused. Trust me this is a sweet upgrade. When my Dad and brother saw mine, they both upgraded they're flashlights. Well worth the money. Not to mention how it extends your battery life by 4 hours give or take.

Regular batteries are the wrong size, and wouldn't have enough power to achieve the higher brightness settings for this flashlight. It's a good investment. The batteries cost more upfront, but the charge lasts a long time and can then be recharged over and over. It's a good investment, especially if you intend to use the extreme brightness for functions beyond those of regular flashlights (like hiking, search and rescue, scaring off trespassers, etc.). Hope this helped!

Hi, the RiteLite requires 6-8 (not sure) AA batteries. Fewer can be used (minimum 3 or 4) but the illumination will last only half as long. I use Duracell AA. You can use any type of AA batteries you like. Overall this battery light is garbage (I've submitted previous feedback). It's your choice. My advice is -- buy something else.

If you have three modes Low,High and strobe, you have the real thing UltraFire WF502B CREE T6 XM-L 1000 Lumens . If you have five modes it is a cheap copy and dim display. I have bought 3 and got the right one twice E-cloud and prettylight and a fake from SunnyStore8 with a LED array 1/4 the size of the real one.
