Maglite(r) Ml150lr-1019 1,000-Lumen LED Flashlight

The latest generation of white-light power LED technology has enabled Mag Instrument R&D to develop their first 1,000-lumen flashlight, the ML150LR, which was no accident. As this technology has improved, allowing for more light output with lower power consumption, new challenges have also arisen. Specifically, the ultra-bright LEDs generate significant heat, and if an LED overheats, its efficiency dramatically decreases, with the LED requiring more power to produce less light. Therefore, effective heat management has been a critical challenge that Mag Instrument has met by developing an innovative heat-sinking technology, which is exclusively used in the ML150LR.

This recently patented heat-sinking technology is the key reason the ML150LR is Mag Instrument's first thousand-lumen flashlight, despite its modest weight and dimensions, placing it in the "Mid-Size" category. Additionally, the ML150LR is Mag's first mid-size flashlight to employ Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) rechargeable battery chemistry, which offers greater safety compared to older rechargeable options and allows for faster recharging, taking only about 2.5 hours to go from "dead" to "full."

The ML150LR is designed for permanent storage in its powered charging cradle, which automatically controls the charge rate and prevents overcharging the battery. This cradle can be powered by either a 12-volt DC vehicle electrical system or a 120-volt AC household current, ensuring the flashlight is always charged and ready for action.

In summary, the breakthrough performance of the ML150LR is the result of a winning formula: state-of-the-art components, including the latest-generation LEDs and LiFePO4 batteries, combined with Mag Instrument's design innovations, particularly the exclusive heat-sinking technology. This innovative approach has enabled Mag to develop their first 1,000-lumen flashlight, which offers exceptional light output in a mid-size, conveniently rechargeable package.
