I picked up an upgrade for one of my three MagLites today. LED lamp direct replacement. $9.98. I plan on converting the rest of my MagLites now. I tried it out tonight in the barn and about. My D-cell batteries will be lasting longer now and with a brighter, tighter beam. I love this stuff! Anyone else up on the LED lights and the wave of the future? Forgive my excitement.........the lamp I replaced in my heavily used MagLite today could quite possibly be older than some of you!
I didn't really care for the led's when they first came out. They were bright, but did not really project any light. The ones they are making now are just awesome. I will not but another light that is not an led.
Where'd ya buy em, Ram Rod? Sounds like a good deal if the light is brighter.
Same here. Again...been hitting EBay, and a lot of these are going to be Christmas presents or stocking stuffers this year! LED lamps are so-so, but the newer chips are totally awesome. They don't call them lights now, they call them "torches"! That says enough.Quote:

You are saying that they are worth it?
Wal Mart........where else? LOL! MagLite has a specific conversion for $19.98. It's the C3? or chip instead of the electrode lamp. 300% improvement in my book on the lamp alone.Quote:

Oh, that combat zone? Well, I guess I'll saddle up and check it out on my next errand-run. Sounds great for my home and vehicle flashlights.Quote:

Definitely makes a big improvement, but it still does not compare to some of my smaller lights. There is a Malkoff drop-in for those babies and holy crap, you could just about light up the moon with it from what I hear.
I love LED light technology! I only have a couple of flashlights now that are not LED. My Surefire G2 is the only one that is really useful and I want to convert it to LED as I think I have seen you can do that now.
I will not buy another flashlight that uses anything other than LED.
