The current shipment is different. Now it has only a single indicator light, and the flashlight goes through a high / low / flash cycle. ???

truthfully I have never noticed that on mine, but probably just haven't paid attention...sorry
1284605
it has 4 leds, I guess every one is 25% of the battery if all are blinking the battery is full and after some use, the leds are going to stop blinking until turn off all the 4

I've only had mine about 4 months but it's been dropped a couple times -- even into a bucket of water. It fried the battery but the flashlight was fine. I own two of them. I ended up buying the Nitecore batteries too which work well. Using the flashlight in it's brightest mode is sometimes too bright for close up work but it has less bright modes too. I can't speak to repairing the flashlight.

I got a 2 pack of an earlier model at least 5 years ago. The charger base on one stopped charging about a year ago so I just charged them back and forth on the good one until now. Both flashlights still work until I get me replacements. I don'y know about the new ones but I'm sticking with this brand based on my experience.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Mike, it is the 2013 version of the light. This last weekend I did a night race where I was on the bike for 70 minutes during the race and had it on high the whole time. It still had plenty of batter left when I finished the race. The battery indicator goes from green to blue to yellow to red as the batter dies. It just turned to blue when I finished by what someone told me. So I would say it is the improved battery pack. Jon

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

Is it charged? If so the bulb may have to be replaced! Mine did. As a result of the way they are shipped the bulbs get ruined! But all and all this is a great flashlight! Call Amazon and tell them it's not working and they are very good on replacing them. I had to do that with mine and the 2nd one was fine.

just got mine, and yes, it is the newer 125 lumen model. seriously bright for such a (comparatively) affordable flashlight.

Howdy, Check the spring I wrote about in the review. When I had mine I was walking along and light quit working. When I took out the batteries and looked into the flashlight the spring that was soldered to the LED circuit board had the solder break and the spring was just laying there. I had to resolder the spring to the board. Has been working fine ever since. I hope this helps. I guess we should all just send them back and then maybe the manufacture would fix the soldering problem they have.

This has only happened to us when the battery needs to be changed. Otherwise, we love our Maglite!!!! In fact, I'm getting more of them! :)

Just glancing at the product (flashlight), the battery looks the same, check other answers though or contact DeWalt because "looking the same" isn't too solid of an answer.

I have one that just received a couple of weeks ago. I took a flashlight out and looked at it. It must have just come off the assembly line or they put the date of manufacture on when when they shipped it It is 10/14. I could not find an expiration date on it. It looks to be very well built.

I have two that are used often and the bulb still works. Neither the Joby nor the Cree site show a bulb than tiny. There's also the chance that the replacement bulb could cost as much as a new flashlight. Good luck in your search.

When I purchased it mine came with a brand new light! If they say its not included that would have to be changed within the last four months

I agree. in the store the LED versions were not as crisp/bright and the colors were goofy. This was the same in 2 Best Buy stores and Circuit City stores. I currently have the bulb model but am experiencing noise from the color wheel. This would not happen with the LED version. I called Samsung to see if they planned on releasing a new 56 in LED and the girl was clueless, yawned on the phone and was of no help. I emailed Samsung and no response. I am not very impressed with that co so far.

Mine did the same thing, and the only thing that I can see is one of the L.E.D that is entwined with each other has burnt out, already, these are supposed to be LED which last for a long time, and I can attest to this because I'am an electrician, this light is substandard, and is not worth the cardboard box that it is shipped in, and amazon says "its to late for an exchange or refund, so if you already brought it, which I imagine your already did, sorry, this sucks, and I will not be purchasing anything else from amazon.

Mine does the same thing. I unscrewed the bottom cap and the top cap (not the head where the light is) wiped all battery contact surfaces and now it is better but sometimes comes on dim. This would suggest it's a manufacturing problem and not necessarily the switch. However, I wouldn't rule that out as the whole unit is not the best quality I have seen in these types of flashlights. I guess you get what you pay for.
