If you have any old MAGLITE's lying around, what I would advise to do is convert them to an LED, with a Maglite LED conversion kit. Mentioned below is a very simple way of performing your own LED Conversions right at home.
It is very simple to upgrade your old Maglite to LED, all you in fact have to do is replace the halogen bulb by a MAG-LED component.
Pretty simple isn't it?
It really is, the sole thing you actually should take care is to verify you got the correct component.
The main upgrade kits are generally for C or D size flashlights, which come in 2 cell, 3 cell, or 4 cell piece.
The simplicity of this upgrade has something to do with the old halogen bulbs being similar in dimensions to the LED units. Thus making it a great fit.
A vital thing to keep in mind is that you should check that you do not get the incorrect conversion kit. Each cell size has a different kit to fit with it, if you get the wrong one you are going to overdrive, or probable undersink the LED. This will destroy your Maglite, and we all know you don't like to do that.
The advantages to accomplishing this change, is double:
- Firstly, you will get a more sturdy MAG, as the LED is very well built, and will not rupture on an impact.
- And the next is, the battery life of your freshly upgraded mag will be 2 - 6 times extended, so, you will need to buy less batteries, or recharge them less frequently, overall, that is a very good thing - More time to fiddle with it.
So as you can make out, there is nothing actually hindering you from converting using a maglite LED conversion kit, it's easy, it's reliable ( as long as you go by the proper instructions), and it makes for a much better Maglite, that is going to last you for more time than your previous one would.
