Review on Milwaukee Craftsman Flashlight Replacement Conversion Kit by Paarvin Freedman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This LED prompted me to buy a second one!

My new LED lightbulb has breathed new life into my 14 year old Bosch flashlight. We live in California where the new normal is a total blackout when wind and heat conspire to start wildfires due to downed power lines. I'm often late, but the generator goes out when my roommates retire a few hours early. My old Bosch will now be my reading light thanks to the brightness of this LED! I tested this setup and it's perfect for reading while sitting on the bedside table behind your eyes. I liked the result so much that I found a second one, used a Bosch flashlight online and immediately ordered a second LED bulb. I have 7 Bosch batteries, 2.4Ah and 3Ah, so I'm done. Best of all, I don't have to fiddle with the clip every time I turn the page! I've been thinking about getting one of the new LED lithium-ion work lights, but by the time you buy a new charger and some high-capacity batteries, you've only spent $200-$300. Whereas my solution only cost me $30 including a $10/second used Bosch flashlight! Joy.Update: 3/1/2020 These lightbulbs are amazing! I just tested a 3.0Ah 18v battery powering a 3w Jomitop LED and it gave great bright light for a full 24 hours. I will only update this if the LED fails prematurely, assuming I live beyond the advertised 50,000 hours! :<)
