Maglite LED Transformation - 1 Quick Change To Enhance Your Former Maglite
by Chris on February 15, 2010
If you have some old MAGLITE's laying around, what I would recommend to do is change them to an LED, with a Maglite LED conversion kit. Listed below is a very simple way of performing your own LED Conversions right at home.
It is very easy to upgrade your old Maglite to LED, all you really should do is swap the halogen bulb with a MAG-LED unit.
Quite simple isn't it?
It really is, the only thing you actually have to watch for is to confirm you found the right component.
The major upgrade kits are generally for C or D size flashlights, which come in 2 cell, 3 cell, or 4 cell piece.
The ease of this transfer has something to do with the old halogen lights being equal in size to the LED units. Thus making it an ideal match.
A vital thing to remember is that you should make sure that you do not get the wrong conversion kit. Each cell size has a different kit to match it, if you get the wrong one you will certainly overdrive, or possible undersink the LED. This will damage your Maglite, and we all understand you don't like to do that.
The benefits to accomplishing this conversion, is two fold:
- First of all, you will get a more strong MAG, as the LED is very well built, and is not going to break on a crash.
- And the next is, the battery life of your freshly upgraded mag is going to be 2 - 6 times longer, so, you should use less batteries, or recharge them less often, on the whole, that is a great thing - More time to fiddle with it.
So as you can see, there is nothing actually stopping you from upgrading by means of a maglite LED conversion kit, it's simple, it's safe ( as long as you stick to the proper instructions), and it makes for a much improved Maglite, that is going to last you for more time than your old one would.
