What is the difference in illumination between the led mini maglite that uses two aa batteries and this one that uses two aaa batteries.

Both the AAA and AA LED Maglite flashlights are good in different ways. One is for up-close, the other is for mid-distance illumination. They're both made in USA, which is a big selling point. Unfortunately, there are durability issues with the AA Maglite. The AAA LED Maglite, model SP32106, has been in my service for about 6 months. It makes not just an excellent chest-pocket sidekick, but a very bright & durable inspection light. The beam is good from right up close to about 15 feet away. The correct rating for this torch is 111 lumens. The AA LED Maglite, model SP+P11H, is a light that I have owned for 2 years. It's beam is good for longer range, perhaps 25 feet. Unfortunately, this model has durability issues. I spoke with 2 other SP+P11H owners who both had intermittent LED problems. It lasted about 5 months before I started having problems with it. The LED got loose with light-duty use, and the light was only dim when it worked at all. It should have been putting out 245 lumens but only produced around 40 lumens when it turned on at all. The light was never dropped, immersed in H2O, or any other fluids. My bic lighter was much brighter. The nice thing about Maglites are that they are an American product, with top-notch warranty support. I sent the AA light, 1 week USPS shipping, to Maglite's warranty department, from Michigan to California. Maglite replaced the LED assembly, the lens, and an LED insulator for their flat-rate warranty service charge of $3. The turnaround time, from mailing the light to receiving it back fully repaired, was 5 weeks. My Streamlight Strion HL (a 500 lumen, professional, industrial, $140 torch) had a 7 week turnaround. It is made in China, and should have lasted longer than the 1.5 years that it took to fail. I expect more from an expensive industrial-grade flashlight. It's in a completely different league than Maglite, but Maglite has better warranty support. I sent both the Streamlight and the AA Maglite for repairs at the same time, and the AAA Maglite did both their jobs with durability and grace. At 111 lumens, it was brighter than I thought an AAA light could be. It provides more light than necessary for working on cars, the batteries last at least 4 hours, and it is light-weight enough to hold in your teeth. Sometimes a mechanic needs light and 2 hands. The pocket clip is strong enough to keep it from falling out of my chest pocket, but is still detachable.Between the AA 245 lumen Maglite and the 111 lumen AAA Maglite, I choose the smaller AAA. It is bright, durable, and light-weight. The repaired Streamlight is my main torch, but I suspect that my backup AAA Maglite would stand up to my industrial use if not as well, than better than the Streamlight. The AAA is now my industrial backup while the AA Maglite stays home. If you don't need to shine a light more than 15 feet, buy the AAA Maglite. It's light, durable, has a rock-solid warranty, and is made in USA.

The title says this is a 2 cell aaa but the description says it requires 2 c cells. which is it?

2 AAA batteries. It is about the length of a large pen. Diameter on shaft is 1/2 inch. Worth the money.

Can I use this in candle mode? Can I expand and refine the beam?

you can widen or narrow the beam but no candle mode.

How good is the spot to flood feature?

So you have to think of this as a different beast compared to the Maglite's we grew up with. This one is LED and alot more powerful in the light department. So with that said, the flood is superior to the non LED but the focus of the spot is not the same as the incandescent light bulb. still very bright and well worth it.

Super bright clipped little pocket light. Do not mistake this for a typical pen light. It has very bright output that easily lights up 100 meters in front of you. Flashlights/LED’s are always a balance between brightness vs. battery life. This is well balanced with good runtime. I have used this on everyday basis both at work and at home and it has been dropped numerous times on stone/concrete floors etc. and persevered. Bought a spare one when on sale. Absolutely best in class/for the price. I have been using Maglite since the early 90’s. Always been a good brand. Now with LED technology even better. The reason why police and guards etc. all over the world uses them. Some reviews state they stop working because of the lamp head contact gets weak or whatever. It must be people who use them to club people with or hammering nails with, because I have sat on them, dropped them etc. and never had one fail on me. Buy with no regrets.

手持ちの懐中電灯と比較して色々の結果です。 ※個人の感想です。ハンディミニライト REACH 連続稼働時間 1時間となっているが30分も持ちません。あくまで点灯している時間が1時間弱なだけで有り最後の方はかなりよわよわの光です。スポットの調光、点滅灯、側面灯、色々切り替えてると更に減りが早いです。アタッチメントは側面灯の右側に付いているので、首の襟や左腕のポケットに装着すると後ろしか照らしてくれません。右腕にポケットが有る服限定ですが右側ポケットの洋服に今まで縁がありません。ただ、通常点灯最初の頃の明るさは郡を抜いてます。充電MAXなら川沿い反対側まで明るく照らしてくれます。広範囲に照らしてくれるとの、サーチライトの様に絞って照らしてくれる切り替えができるのが良いですね。絞った状態の照らした先の明るさはホント明るすぎて...。キャンプなどでトイレ行く時等の短時間での使用に良いのかと思いました。充電がタイプAなので、一戦退いた感じは否めませんが。今回購入したマグライト私が酔っ払って購入した為の誤ちなのですが想像以上に小さい。ロス市警が愛用している様なゴッツいイメージの物が欲しかったのですがこれはボールペンサイズでした。ですがそれなりに明るいです。何より単四電池2本でこの明るさは災害時に真価を発揮します。ゴツいやつは単一だとかの高価な電池だったのでこの手の電池を普段ご家庭で常備している方は少ないでしょう。単三単四の電池はローリングストックとして意識されているご家庭も少なくないのではないでしょうか？非常時は共用出来る単三単四の電池が力を発揮します。USB式は充電元が無いとすぐに文鎮化しますからね。でっけぇポタ電あれば別ですが。頭外せばお部屋全体を照らしてくれます。胸ポケットに収納出来るサイズなのも良い。思ったのと違うものが届きましたがそれが逆に良い方向に働きました。付属のアタッチメントで帽子のつば先に装着して歩いてみましたが重さは感じず前を照らしてくれて充分すぎる程でした。防水機能は微妙な感じがするのでアウトドア機能としてはどうなのかなという気もします。 ※写真の様に逆手で持てば、護身用になるかも。先が硬い気がします。
