This month of September contains many American holidays that the average person doesn’t even hear about. Sure, this week we celebrated Labor Day, but did you know that Uncle Sam Day is on Sunday the 13th, and the birthday of the Air Force is next Friday the 18th? In fact, the entire month of September is also dubbed Americana Month.
What better way to celebrate at your office than to pass out promotional Maglites with the American flag printed on them?
If you or your boss are looking for the best engraved flashlights for your company promotion, Here are the top 7 features to look for.
The true meaning of Labor Day is usually overlooked. Too often this holiday is seen as the last weekend of summer: a time for BBQ’s, picnics, boating, or one last beach vacation before the summer comes to an end.

No matter if you’re doing in-person learning or distance-learning this fall, you surely have a back-to-school supply list. Pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, calculator… what else? Adding engraved flashlights to that list is a no-brainer- it’ll keep younger kids safe no matter where they are, and it’ll help college-aged students on the walk home from a late-night study session at the library.
Take your pick!
Every year on August 7th the United States celebrates recipients of the Purple Heart. The Armed Forces give this award to members of the military who have been wounded, killed, or died from wounds caused by an enemy attack. Let us all honor those recipients and be grateful for the freedoms and liberties for which they fight.
How can we celebrate today:
The flashlights that are popular around the world, Promotional Maglites, occupy a special place in our hearts. Here are our best reasons:
Maglites come in many different sizes and colors. Some have incandescent bulbs,
and some have LED bulbs. Here are the top sellers:
K3A MagLite® Solitaire Flashlight The K3A is the most economically-priced of all the promotional Maglights. Sometimes they are on sale for only $7.94. That fits into most budgets for appreciation gifts. It does come with an alkaline battery and a carry strap. There’s no need to wrap this one up as a present. It already comes with a permanent hard plastic hinged gift box.
2AALED Mini MagLite® LED Flashlight The other popular one has an LED bulb and 2 AA batteries. It puts out an extreme amount of light for its size. LED flashlights are often requested by business owners who want to give a high quality gift to their employees.
The first flashlight was invented in 1899 by David Misell. It contained 3 D cells
and an incandescent light bulb. In 120 years, we have come a long way. LED’s have replaced the bulb. Electronic circuits now provide different light levels and a strobe effect and power conservation. Recharging has become a valuable option. And now the COB (chip on board) bulbs are super bright.
The history of promotional flashlights involves different types of imprinting. Pad printing changed into laser engraving. Today engraved flashlights with your corporate logo are ubiquitous.
