The Maglite® ML25LT® LED 3-Cell C Flashlight is a mid-size LED flashlight designed for everyday use, work, emergency preparedness, camping, outdoor activities, vehicle use, and general-purpose illumination. Powered by three standard C-cell alkaline batteries, it produces 173 lumens, projects a beam up to 309 meters (approximately 1,014 feet), delivers 23,947 candela of peak beam intensity, and provides an 18-hour runtime. Its simple twist-head design provides ON/OFF control and adjustable spot-to-flood focusing, while Maglite's Candle Mode provides a hands-free area-light configuration. Rugged machined aluminum construction, a textured knurled grip, water resistance, and 1-meter drop resistance provide durability for practical indoor and outdoor use.

1. 309-Meter Beam Reach, 18-Hour Runtime & 173 Lumens

The ML25LT 3C combines long-distance illumination with extended operation from three C-cell batteries. Its focused beam reaches up to 309 meters (approximately 1,014 feet) and produces 23,947 candela of peak beam intensity, providing a concentrated beam for illuminating objects and areas at a distance.

The flashlight produces 173 lumens and provides an 18-hour runtime, making it practical for extended everyday, emergency, outdoor, and work use.

• Beam Distance: 309 m / approx. 1,014 ft.

• Peak Beam Intensity: 23,947 cd

• Runtime: 18 hours

• Maximum Light Output: 173 lumens

2. LED Head with Adjustable Spot-to-Flood Focus & Candle Mode

The ML25LT 3C combines LED Heat-Sink  technology with an adjustable focusing system. Turning the flashlight head changes the beam from a concentrated spot for longer-distance viewing to a broader flood for illuminating a wider nearby area.

The head also serves as the flashlight's operating control, providing simple twist-head ON/OFF operation and focusing without a separate push-button switch. Candle Mode adds hands-free area illumination by allowing the head to be removed and used as a base so the flashlight can stand vertically.

• Light Source: LED

• Beam Adjustment: Adjustable Spot-to-Flood

The ML25LT 3C is designed for straightforward operation without a complex multi-mode electronic interface. Its twist-head control provides ON/OFF operation and adjustable focusing, while its full-power LED output delivers 173 lumens for up to 18 hours.

For stationary use, Candle Mode provides a hands-free configuration for surrounding area illumination. This makes the flashlight useful during power outages, camping, emergency situations, and other applications where stationary illumination is preferable to a directional handheld beam.

• Full-Power Output: 173 lumens

• Runtime: 18 hours

• ON/OFF Control: Simple Twist-Head Operation

• Focus: Adjustable Spot-to-Flood

• Special Feature: Hands-Free Candle Mode

• Power Management: Basic

4. Rugged Machined Aluminum Construction with Knurled Grip

The ML25LT 3C features rugged machined aluminum construction in a mid-size body designed to provide durability while remaining more compact than a traditional full-size D-cell flashlight. Its cylindrical barrel incorporates a textured knurled gripping surface for secure handling during household, outdoor, emergency, and work use.

The flashlight measures 8.6 inches / 218.44 mm long with a 1.2-inch / 30.48 mm barrel diameter and a 1.7-inch / 43.18 mm head diameter. With three C-cell batteries installed, it weighs 14.4 oz. / 408.23 g.
