A worthwhile upgrade
This bulb is certainly very bright. I can't measure its light output but visibly it is many times more powerful than the standard incandescent bulbs it replaces. In my testing it uses just a little more power than a 2.4v 0.7A Krypton bulb, but it produces much more light.
It is a very worthwhile upgrade for flashlights such as older Maglites that are good quality but not very bright due to their incandescent bulb. It also fits some other flashlights that allow for a wider bulb base - make sure the flashlight can fit a bulb with a ~11.3mm base and preferably has metal around the reflector to dissipate the heat.Read full review

Much Brighter - Pleased With The Result
Easy to fit. Made the torch (6D) much brighter, but the Maglite products line are dated, now, and boosting it with this device really means that you just have a brighter, but still outdated, torch. There are far more practical. and brighter torches. You'd be better off with modern LED torches and they're far lighter and less tedious to carry. The unit works, no mistake, and I don't regret the money spent on it. Life has move on, in torches, though...it's wise to move with that life.Read full review

260 Lumens is enough
Torch technology has gone nuclear over the past 5 years. Torches now advertising insane numbers of lumens. This IMO is one occasion where more is not necessary. I use my 3D cell maglite for general stuff round the house from walking the dog & putting the bins out to changing light bulbs in the house. This bulb upgrade gives a really useable colour and intensity of light that is perfect for these type of jobs. The quality of the unit seems good. Price seems fair and I hope it lasts a long time.Read full review

Transformation
I have had my Mag-Lite torch for many years, and used it every day in my work as a surveyor. It had the original type of incandescent bulb. This conversion to an LED type bulb has transformed it ! A stronger beam and much better battery life. Highly recommended.Read full review

Works well
Bought a 4D Xenon Maglite mistaking it for an LED Maglite, needless to say I was disappointed.
Replaced the Xenon bulb holder with this LED upgrade and now my Maglite is of a similar brightness to my friend's LED Maglite.
As far as I can tell the LED is sufficiently cooled to prevent it from overheating. I used this flash lite for over an hour without any problems.
This product does exactly what it is intended to do for an acceptable price. If your Maglite is not bright enough for you, I recommend replacing the bulb with this LED.Read full review

LED Bulb replacement for Maglite.
Wanted a replacement as my Maglite bulb died. After a bit of research I settled on this.
Could've gone brighter but it would've been more expensive.
So far, I can't fault it.
Very clear, bright white light.
Take the old bulb out, put the LED bulb in.
Job done.Read full review

Maglite brought back to life!
Maglite brought back to life!
Decided to upgrade the Maglite (2 D Cell) from the standard bulb to a LED drop in replacement.
Went from relatively poor light output to dazzling! Difference was night & day - no pun intended :-)
Arrived quickly in the post - thanks.Read full review

works great
Couldn't believe the improvement of this LED over the old bulb. My battery power had been rather low, and the light was quite dim, so I was expecting to have to change the batteries as well. But I fitted the LED (easy, no problems with fit), and the light was miles better than even with full batteries on the old bulbRead full review

light in the tunnel
Wasn't expecting much from a single LED unit but this is quite impressive. When I opened the box (well packed for transit) bulb appeared large, much larger than the one it was replacing. change took just few seconds and everything works great. My main issue with normal bulbs is that they are prone to damage if the torch is dropped- no issues here.
I'd estimate that the beam of light easily covers 300 meter distance- more than enough for my needs.
In my opinion all of the above justifies the price and I think it will offer many years of reliable service.Read full review

Nice upgrade
This bulb is a nice upgrade for my old maglite which was languishing in a drawer due to new torches being a lot more powerful than the old mag bulb. But you can't beat a maglite for build quality which has a reassuring heft to it. Glad to be able to dust it off use again with this bulb making it much brighter and probably a lot easier on the batteries. Would recommend

An easy to fit conversion kit that improves performance of a MAG lite
Older MAG lites are sturdy and robust but due to their old technology bulbs, are not as effective as torches using LED bulb technology. Simply retro- fit this easy to install LED conversion kit and convert your MAG Lite into a new and modern torch.Read full review
