The Maglite® Classic 6-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight is a full-size flashlight built around the traditional Maglite® D-cell platform, combining rugged construction, refined optics, adjustable focusing, and classic incandescent illumination. Using the latest ANSI performance data provided, it delivers a 338-meter beam distance, 28,547 candela peak beam intensity, and 178 lumens, with approximately 11 hours 9 minutes of runtime. Its adjustable spot-to-flood beam, vintage incandescent illumination, push-button operation, machined aluminum construction, diamond-knurled grip, water-resistant design, replaceable lamp system, spare lamp in the tail cap, and six-D-cell power source make it practical for home, work, property, vehicle, emergency preparedness, outdoor use, and users who prefer the familiar operation of a classic full-size incandescent flashlight.

1. 338-Meter Beam Reach, 28,547 Candela & Up to 11-Hour 9-Minute Runtime

The Maglite® Classic 6-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight combines its full-size optical system with an incandescent lamp to provide substantial long-range illumination. Its focused beam reaches 338 meters (approximately 1,109 feet) and produces 28,547 candela peak beam intensity, delivering concentrated illumination for viewing objects and areas at distance.

Maximum output is 178 lumens, while runtime is approximately 11 hours 9 minutes. The combination of long beam reach, concentrated intensity, and extended D-cell runtime makes this a practical full-size flashlight for applications where both distance and operating time matter.

• Beam Distance: 338 m / approx. 1,109 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 28,547 cd

• Runtime: 11 hr. 9 min.

• Maximum Output: 178 lumens

• Light Source: Incandescent Lamp

2. Vintage Incandescent Technology, Adjustable-Focus Beam & 2.25-Inch Head

The Maglite® Classic 6-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight uses traditional incandescent lamp technology, providing filament-based illumination rather than an LED light engine. This delivers the familiar vintage incandescent illumination associated with classic Maglite® D-cell flashlights.

The flashlight incorporates Maglite®'s adjustable spot-to-flood focusing system. Rotating the head changes the beam from a concentrated spot for greater reach to a wider flood for illuminating a broader nearby area, allowing the beam pattern to be adjusted mechanically without separate lenses or attachments.

3. Single-Output Operation, Push-Button Switching & Adjustable Spot-to-Flood Control

The Maglite® Classic 6-Cell D Incandescent Flashlight uses straightforward single-output operation with a traditional body-mounted push-button switch. The simple operating system provides direct on/off control without electronic brightness levels, flashing patterns, or multi-mode menus.

Beam pattern is controlled separately through the rotating head. The adjustable-focus system allows the user to move between a concentrated spot beam for distance and a broader flood beam for illuminating the immediate surroundings.

• Maximum Output: 178 lumens

• Operating Configuration: Single Output

• Primary Control: Push-Button Switch

• Focus: Adjustable Spot to Flood

• Focus Control: Rotating Head

• Electronic Multi-Mode Switching: No

• Runtime: 11 hr. 9 min.
