Dark spot present at any head position
343476
I bought the MagLite LED Pro 2D flashlight, SN: D2Pxxxxxxxx. To my amazement, I was never able to focus the beam of light: no matter how much I turned the head, there would always be a dark spot in the projection of the beam on a wall. That dark center spot disappears ONLY when the head is turned all the way out to the point where the rubber ring on the barrel is visible and the head loose or when the head is less than 12 inches from a wall (projection distance less than a foot).

I own the old incandescent 2D version of this flashlight as well the smaller 2AA cousin flashlight and I can focus the beam perfectly by turning the head on both of those flashlights. And the beam stays focused at any projection distance. I've been very happy with both of those products.

Unfortunately with the black center of the MagLite LED Pro 2D at any position of the head and any distance greater than a foot, it will be of no use to me as it doesn't shine light where it is needed.

I'm very disappointed with the MagLite LED Pro 2D because of the ever present dark spot in the center of the projection beam. What is worse is that IT IS POSSIBLE to focus the beam by turning the head all the way out, but then the head is loose.

I'm very disappointed as I expected only perfection from MagLite products.

Edit: My model is: TT2PDX6, same specs.

Edit 2: Followup from my previous feedback of the 2D LED PRO not being able to focus at any position of the head:

The problem appears to be that a tiny flat screw is missing from the LED outer bell housing--there is a single hole for it. It is supposed to keep the LED at a certain (vertical depth) position. Thus the LED is always all the way far into the reflector, i.e flood setting, no matter at what position the reflector/head is. It does focus only when the head is all the way out, loose from the barrel, just as I wrote earlier.

Yes, it was hard to believe MagLite would actually release such a product with a permanent dark spot in the center and avoid a lawsuit.

As it turns out MagLite's Quality Control is abysmal! So much for Made in the USA. Buyer beware!

I am fairly young and I was in constant search of a product that would hide my bald spots. I looked at Rogaine and trying vitamins like Biotin and such...but I wanted instant results. So I came across this product. My bald spots are located at the top of my head near the back. Maybe where the scalp ends. It's unsightly and it doesn't help that I have very thin hair, so I can't hide it by just moving hair around lol. Quite honestly, I don't want to end up leaving my hair in a bun for the rest of my life to hide my bald spot. I like variety. So, when I received this product, I was really excited and I applied it to the spot. It's extremely difficult when your bald spot is at the back of your head...obviously it's hard to apply something there when you can not see anything. But I went on, and used two mirrors to see what I was doing (one in front and one in back of me). It looked great from far away, I was still concerned with how it would look if people had to stand close by me. It looked great...really great from far away. I was ecstatic that it blended so well.

Here comes the problem. I noticed a few people that kept hovering behind me or looking in my direction oddly. I knew immediately that something must have looked bad enough to cause such attention. Mind you, no one mentioned anything to me. But I knew, when I got home and took photographs. Sure enough, the spotted pattern appeared (I included a customer photo above).

Okay so maybe you're saying to yourself, "She should have bought the applicator!" And you're right, maybe I should have. But honestly, I wish someone would have told me that without the applicator this would make you look like you were some sort of hybrid of human and animal. It would have saved a lot of embarrassment. I"m not going to diss this product entirely, because it worked and it looked somewhat natural in terms of color and blending. But the experience after using, over weighs the pros.

Here's another con: I must've spent 10 minutes applying that product and still the spotted pattern was still there. So that means, you're wasting product! You might not even get an even application after using the whole bottle (without the applicator). If you are still interested in this product, buy it with the applicator. I'm willing to try it, but honestly, I just want to hide under a rock until people forget this ever even happened.

It works, but im struggling whether i like it or not because the skin around my eyes are now dark and red. I wonder if it was this product that caused it because a lot of others have reported the same issue

Beam has a large dark spot in the middle. Might be slightly brighter than the old incandescent bulb. I will not buy any more of these.

I ordered several of these hats in different colors and the only one that had the issue was the black one, it came completely off center, I paint these hats and not even that could save it! Amazon was great and replaced my item and the 2nd one came just fine. Just a heads up that quality control may be an issue.

There are a few dark spots on the edge of the body, and they cannot be cleaned. Glue between the body and the neck is quite obvious. A few cracks are on the neck as well. Not satisfied when receiving this product.

the light colored mesh throws visibility off. I replaced with a dark one.

Bought for my boyfriend. The hat looks sharp, nice coloring but there is a weird hump at the top of the forehead. He doesn't wear it often because of that

Ordered as a Christmas lighting deal.  Amazing price, received within two days.  The tablecloth looks very nice, except for a 1 inch circle in the middle of the tablecloth that didn't get printed.  So, I have a lovely, brand new tablecloth with a glaring  nickel sized white spot that looks like a bleach spot.  I was so hoping to love this tablecloth, but the spot is so apparent.  Now, I have to keep a candle on the table at all times to cover that spot!

I have very dark melasma. This product made it worse. My skin is now scarred, kind of shiny and it turned from brown to a greenish colour.
I suggest you consult a doctor before using this product. I should've know better.
