Product Information

Full details

The Maglite K3A016 Mini AAA Solitaire Torch is designed for users who need a compact, lightweight, and reliable light source for everyday carry or emergency situations. Its key benefit is the powerful, adjustable beam from an ultra-portable body. A potential caveat is its reliance on a single AAA battery, which may require more frequent replacement than larger flashlights.

FAQs

What type of battery does the Maglite K3A016 use?

This flashlight uses one AAA battery.

How do I adjust the beam from spot to flood?

Twist the head of the flashlight. Turning it one way will focus the beam to a spot, and turning it the other way will widen it to a flood.

Where is the spare bulb located?

A spare bulb is conveniently stored inside the tail cap of the flashlight.

Is this flashlight waterproof?

The flashlight is water-resistant, meaning it can handle splashes or rain, but it is not designed for submersion.

What are the dimensions and weight of the flashlight?

It measures 81 mm (3.3 inches) in length and weighs 24.38 g (less than an ounce).

How durable is the construction?

It features rugged, machined aluminum construction with an anodized finish for improved corrosion resistance, and it is also shock-resistant.

Can I use rechargeable AAA batteries?

Yes, you can use rechargeable AAA batteries, but ensure they are fully charged and compatible with the flashlight's voltage requirements.

Troubleshooting

Flashlight does not turn on

Ensure the AAA battery is inserted correctly with proper polarity. Check that the battery is not depleted. Make sure the tail cap and head are screwed on tightly.

Beam is dim or flickers

The battery may be low. Replace with a fresh AAA battery. Clean the battery contacts inside the flashlight with a pencil eraser or a dry cloth. Ensure the bulb is properly seated.

Head does not adjust beam focus

Check for debris obstructing the head mechanism. Ensure the head is screwed on properly. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require servicing.

Water ingress

Inspect the O-rings at the tail cap and head for damage or debris. Clean and lubricate the O-rings with silicone grease. Ensure all parts are securely tightened.
