The Maglite 2D Cell Flashlight is a heavy-duty aluminum torch manufactured in the USA by Mag Instrument, a company founded by Anthony Maglica.

Its substantial weight and aluminum construction also made it practical for defensive use, contributing to its widespread adoption among police departments.

help Maglite 2D Cell Flashlight FAQ

What batteries does the Maglite 2D Cell Flashlight use?

It takes two D-cell batteries, not the two AA cells used by a Mini Maglite. The D-cell format is one reason the full-size model is longer and heavier than Maglite's personal-size lights. [source](https://maglite.com/pages/manuals-faqs)

How do you change the Maglite 2D beam from spot to flood?

Rotate the flashlight head to adjust the beam from a narrow spot to a wide flood. Mag Instrument describes this focusing mechanism as part of the Maglite design. [source](https://maglite.com/pages/manuals-faqs)

Is the Maglite 2D made in the United States?

Mag Instrument says its flashlight production facilities are in the United States. The Maglite brand was introduced in 1979 by founder Anthony Maglica and was initially aimed at public safety users. [source](https://maglite.com/blogs/maghistory-blog-1/company-history)

Why do 2D Maglite listings show different brightness and runtime figures?

There are incandescent and LED 2D versions, so the lamp, electronics and test conditions can differ. Maglite says performance data are measured under the ANSI/NEMA FL-1 flashlight standard, so the exact model number matters. [source](https://maglite.com/pages/manuals-faqs)
