In short, this flashlight is almost indestructible-a good quality when it comes to the tools re rely on to help you find your way in the dark. Limited lifetime warranty.

Advanced lighting instrument made in America and built tough enough to last a lifetime with a spare lamp safely secured in the tail cap making it suitable for camping, climbing, fishing, hunting, etc. Review: MagLite is the best - The flashlight is solid as you would expect from a MagLite. The 3-D light is not too heavy and brighter than the 2-D light version so a good overall choice. It should last for many years. Flashlight arrived quickly and is an official Maglite product in its original packaging as shown in the product description. Review: The same Maglite quality! - I have used these for years and have always had good success using them. I recently bought two of these for my girlfriend and a friend of mine for an upcoming camping trip. I’ve got one that is 20 plus years old and still works like a champ! What is good about these is that they are easily upgraded to LED and they are repairable when they do experience an issue. There is plenty of support from Maglite and how to videos on YouTube to repair these, so don’t throw your flashlight that the batteries leaked in or are stuck in! There is plenty of ways to repair the flashlight! So yeah it’s not comparable to a modern flashlight, but you’re going to get a light that will last for years and unlike some manufacturers, make a light that can be repaired. ## Features - Maglite - S3D016 - Flashlights, Headlights & Worklights - Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00002N6SH | | Additional Features | Durability,Premium,Resistant | | Batteries are Included | No | | Battery Description | 3 alkaline D batteries | | Battery Type | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | #261,910 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2,255 in Handheld Flashlights | | Brand Name | MagLite | | Bulb Base | GX53 | | Bulb Shape Size | T | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,546 Reviews | | Finish Types | Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038739011868 | | Included Components | MagLite - 102-000-250 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 12.34"D x 2.25"W x 2.25"H | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.34"L x 2.25"W x 2.25"H | | Item Type Name | MagLite - 102-000-250 | | Item Weight | 0.96 Pounds | | Light Output Maximum | 45 Lumens | | Light Path Distance | 254 Meters | | Light Source Special Features | Durability,Resistant | | Light Source Type | Incandescent | | Light Source Wattage | 0.07 Watts | | Manufacturer | MAGLITE | | Manufacturer Part Number | 102-000-918 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited lifetime. | | Material | Anodized aluminum alloy | | Material Type | Anodized aluminum alloy | | Model Number | S3D016 | | Mounting Type | Handheld | | Number of Batteries | 3 D batteries required. | | Number of Light Sources | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor and Outdoor Lighting Use | | Runtime | 10 hours | | Shape | Round | | Size | 3-D Cell | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Durability,Premium,Resistant | | Style Name | Flashlight | | UPC | 100063687177 640206660419 038739011868 012304675709 745734305082 807320401636 693529107208 080175171439 780320036681 387390118684 696582467746 803982947543 640024790923 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 4.5 Volts | | Warranty Type | Manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wattage | 3 | | White Brightness | 45 Lumens | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Light Source Type:** Incandescent - **Material:** Anodized aluminum alloy - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Special Feature:** Durability,Premium,Resistant ## Images ![3-Cell D Flashlight - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ch3BdN83L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Ours has a 'black" spot in the middle of the light. Any idea how to fix this - a new bulb???** A: The way to get rid of the black spot is to take thehead of the flashlight completely off and adjust the small light housing. I way this can take hours of doing this till you get rid of the black spot. When you do get it done, you'll be impressed with the solid circle. But it can hours or even a few days to get it right. Hope this helps. **Q: Hello, which mag-lite type mainly used by the us police in the 80s and 90s, the 3d cell or the 4d cell? thanks** A: It depends on the department’s policies. Back in the day, there were a few cases of police flashlight vs perpetrator’s head, so a few departments restricted them to the 3 or even the 2- cell versions, shying away from the 4-cell beast. At that time, Streamlite was coming on strong with LEO’s (Law Enforcement Officers) by providing a lighter weight, tough plastic rechargeable flashlight with a Krypton bulb (brighter). **Q: Is it water resistant?** A: Yes. According to the manufacturer's information, the flashlight complies with the Water-Resistant (IPX4) protocol **Q: how do you change the batterys** A: This flashlight does not change rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries may be used in it, but they will have to be removed from the flashlight and recharged separately in whatever charger device the battery manufacturer recommends. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MagLite is the best *by G***. on June 19, 2025* The flashlight is solid as you would expect from a MagLite.

The only downside is that it is rather heavy. But that is my own fault, I should have purchased the smaller model. I will probably do that and give the larger one to my grandson. ## Frequently Bought Together - Maglite Heavy-Duty Incandescent 3-Cell D Flashlight, Black - Duracell Coppertop D Batteries, 4 Count Pack, D Battery with Long-lasting Power, All-Purpose Alkaline D Battery for Household and Office Devices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/11163159-3-cell-d-flashlight](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/11163159-3-cell-d-flashlight) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
