Here are 3 secrets that no Maglite vendor has ever told you:

Promotional Maglites are still made in the USA, despite any rumors to the contrary. How do they do that, and stay competitive? I don’t know.
MagLite does their own laser engraving for promotional purposes of your company logo. A few professional engravers still do this, but MagLite started a year ago to get a share of the engraving market.
Still old fashioned. Maglite still does things the old fashioned way. They print out their invoices on a dot matrix printer, using carbonless copies, and snail mail them out to the distributors.
Promotional advertising items have been used for about a century. Company owners use them to cordially spread their advertising message to their customers and to the general public. Promotional advertising items are the pens, calendars, flashlights and coffee mugs that are around us all the time. They are the only form of advertising that is truly “appreciated”. When most other forms of advertising may be considered intrusive and annoying, promo products are welcomed by all recipients. Promotional pens and calendars could be called “trojan ponies” by advertising companies. Little by little, they carry your advertising message and logo to the people who may become your customers.
Why does your boss want you to order them? Let’s face it, he’s busy running the company. He trusts that you can pick the details, the imprint color, and the size of the product. You can rely on the help from promotional product distributors to accomplish this fun job. When the order is done, your boss and sales force can pass them out at the next trade show. And they have you to thank for making the ordering process a success.
Some of the most popular items are MagLites®, BIC pens, Lufkin tapes, wall calendars, Thermos water bottles, Leatherman tools, and pocket knives.
Flashlights have come a long way in the last 40 years. First was the Maglite® adjustable beam, and now the LED bulb! Complete darkness can now become blazing daylight, using just a few AA batteries. It’s no wonder that companies are advertising by putting their logos on engraved flashlights.
A Maglite (or 100 Maglites) with your corporate logo comes with these benefits:
Maglite Flashlights
They advertise your company for many years in the future. Maglites don’t wear out. In general, we offer a limited lifetime warranty in the Western Hemisphere. The warranty is different in other parts of the world, and on different models.
They make your customers and employees appreciate your generosity.
A Maglite engraved with your logo is a useful gift that won’t leave you in the dark.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the woods, not a tree was lit, and decorations weren’t there. If it weren’t for the snow, the branches would be bare.
Then along came an elf, with Maglites galore, and lit up the night in the forest and more.
Rejoice in the light, there is no need to fear, for the darkness is gone, and you’re safety is near. The only thing left is for you to exclaim, “Let me have my Maglite engraved, of course with my name.”
Click me to make me glitter. Have a very Merry Christmas, from Advantage-Advertising.com!

For the last 36 years, since 1979, Maglite Flashlights have been designed and manufactured in the USA by Anthony Maglica in Ontario, California. What will he come up with for the next 36 years? To get into the creative mind of Anthony, lets see what he has done in the past, and see what he has changed.

What Has Stayed the Same with Mag-Lites. The frame of each flashlight has always bee anodized 6061 aluminum, and designed and manufactured in the USA. The colors for most of the models have been limited to black, silver, blue, and red.

What Has Changed with Mag-Lites. A few of the popular models are available in other colors, like green, orange, purple. The original ones used xenon or krypton incandescent bulbs. The new ones use LED bulbs. Accessories have been added, such as mounting brackets, holsters, rechargeable models, and LED conversion kits. The original ones just had an on/off switch. Now there are various modes in some models. Strobe, SOS, momentary, low power, and eco power. A set of 3 modes can be selected for General Use, Outdoor Use, Law Enforcement, and Tactical. Engraved flashlights. The factory has also added the ability to have your maglite engraved with your logo, available through a world-wide system of promotional product distributors.

Could the next Maglite improvement be:
Brighter bulbs
More types of flashing signals
Longer lasting batteries
Lighter weight, overall
Custom printing over the entire surface–a wrap imprint like the US flag version
Introducing a new model imported from China, to bring the cost down
USA-Made. MagLites have been designed and manufactured in the United States since the beginning. Unlike a lot of companies that shift their US production to overseas, MagLite has continued to keep the jobs in America. This has caused the retail pricing to be higher than similar flashlights made overseas. Despite the higher prices, this has not prevented the loyal customers, world-wide, from buying MagLites on a regular basis. MagLite has made a name for itself, and the name has universal recognition.

American Success Story. Maglite is also the story of a man who started small and made a highly successful company. Anthony Maglica showed us that hard work and dedication pays off.

Durability and Versatility. There is no question that Maglite flashlights are durable because of their aluminum barrel construction and water-tight rubber seals. The knurled barrel finish makes them easy to grip. They are versatile because of the many types of beam intensity and functions that are built into some of them. They all have the twisting focusing ability, which is a trademark of this great American company.
MagLite is an amazing USA company. This new rechargeable flashlight is the latest way of out-doing themselves. At 643 lumens, it is their brightest flashlight. If you use it in the General function set, here are the 3 ways to use it:
Full Power (1 click) gives you 643 lumens for the brightest light ever. The service time is about 4 hours at this mode.
Low Power (2 clicks) conserves battery usage, by giving 25% brightness. The benefit is having 17 hours of service at this mode.
Eco mode (3 clicks) makes your battery last as long as 37 hours.

Operating The Most Powerful LED Flashlight From MagLite:
To change the function set, you do this by the way you turn on the flashlight. First, unscrew the battery compartment, so that the battery does not make contact. Hold the ON button while you screw the battery holder back in. The amount of time you leave the button pressed, determines which function set will be used. The complete directions come with your LED Maglite flashlight.
