Review: Mini Maglite Pro+

I have this torch as well as the Jetbeam BA20 and to me the maglite is a much better torch. The only mod I would make is replace the lens with a glass instead of plastic as they can get more scratched up over time, but if you look after it then plastic is OK too.

The Jetbeam is a nice torch but I actually like the beam better on the maglite, I also prefer the twist I don’t like the clicky on the jetbeam it feels strange. I also love the candle mode which is AWESEOME on the maglite. It’s just a very robust every day use torch, one which will last decades easily.

I’d give the maglite pro plus 9 out of 10, and the jetbeam 7 out of 10.

I wonder why the Pro+ is so scarce?

I’ve been watching for them in Canada, but have yet to see one. I’ve been tempted to order one from the U.S., but they really work you over on postage.

Never been a fan of the MagLite "Doughnut" beam patterns.

Glad to see that they are finally catching on and improving the quality of the beam.
