Review on Flashlight Replacement Maglite Conversion Flashlights by Daniel Oliver

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The 4-6 element Maglite lamp

later. Firstly it doesn't quite match a 4-6 element Maglite bulb. The o-ring screw in the bulb socket needs to be bent about 1mm to allow the new LED bulb to fit through. I just took a titanium drill and trimmed the edges until I got the right diameter. Brightness is definitely better than incandescent but not as bright as other factory LEDs. The only saving grace from all the troubles is that the 6 cell Maglite bulb is about $25 plus the $8 LED bulb which is still cheaper than the $87 4 cell Maglite LED Lamp. So I think it was worth the effort. Came delivered quickly. If you think it's going to be just plug and play straight into old magnets, it's not. Overall not too bad. I would still recommend it.

Pros
  • requires some technical work to install. So far happy with
Cons
  • . I'll write
