Tools and Hardware Reviews of MAGLITE LMSA601 Replacement Lamp for 6-C Cell/D-Cell Flashlight (Mag-num Star Xenon)
Customer Review: No focusing lens: Design Is Degraded
Summary: 2 Stars
I paid a premium price for 2 of these Maglite 6-D Cell MagnumStar bulbs and I'm severely disappointed. Looks as though Maglite has succumbed to the temptation to build cheaper to reap higher profits while performance severely suffers.
I've come to expect MagnumStar bulbs from Maglite to have a snub nosed front end shape comprised of a specially ground glass lens providing a sharp focus of the light beam. That's the characteristic that prompts me search for these special bulbs.
The two MagliteMagnum Star LMSA601 bulbs I've received today have just a plain glass teardrop shaped bulb so these bulbs offer no focusing improvements over regular bulbs. These bulbs are, of course, for my 6-D cell Maglite flashlight. I lug that heavy flashlight around because I want to be able to pierce the darkness to see at great distances. Sharpening the beam focus is extremely important for that task. A tighter beam illuminates a specific subject or region with more light at great distances. In the past a MagnumStar bulb's extra focusing ability helped provide a tighter beam. MagnumStar bulbs no longer provide that extra focus since they are now just plain glass.
Magnum Star bulbs are also supposed to be Xenon instead of Krpyton. These bulbs are marked "6 Cell XE" which I presume means "Xenon" but you surely couldn't tell that from the performance. Usually, I can swap out Krypton with Xenon and tell the difference. These MagnumStar's received today don't seem to provide any brighter light nor are they any whiter than plain Maglite Krypton bulbs.
I won't waste time searching for Maglite MagnumStar (Xenon) bulbs any more until I see someone post that Maglite has reverted to the former design. There's just no longer any performance enhancement offered by a MagnumStar bulb as far as I can tell.
I just want to warn you that the MagnumStar bulbs you've come to depend upon no longer exist. The price is the same. The package is the same. But, the product in the package has been swapped to something of inferior design.
I know that I am going to search for some other brand of bulb. Somewhere, I hope to find something with a focused glass lens and a high performance filament/gas design. That's not Maglite MagnumStar any more, though. Sad but true.
