The Mini Maglite AA is a really handy little torch that runs on 2 AA batteries. This is the version of the all-time classic Mini Maglite that runs on AA batteries, giving it a longer burn time than its AAA sibling (although the AAA version is lighter). Beautifully made, like all Maglites, the Mini Maglite AA should provide you with years of good service. Perhaps the definitive small torch: ideal for a host of activities. The Mini Maglite AA is also shock and water-resistant, thanks to its O-Rings and other elements of its construction. If you need a completely waterproof torch, then the Princeton Tech Impact II might be worth a look (see elsewhere).

Blister packed. High intensity adjustable beam: zooms from flood to spot. Rugged machined aluminium construction with knurled design. Anodised inside and out for improved corrosion resistance. Quickly and easily converts to free-standing candle mode for area light. Spare bulb included in housing in tail cap. O-ringed to provide water and shock resistance. Burn time: 5.5-6 hours. Runs on two AA batteries (included).
