Burned out my maglite

[KAK]

So like the title says, I burned out my maglite and I need to replace the bulb. If I want to find one locally here in waco where should I look?

I have also seen LED maglites around, Is there a way to convert my Maglite to LED???

buy a streamlight scorpion. under $40, it is already an LED and it will make you throw away your maglite.

I'm sure you have an extra bulb. They all come with one in the end cap. Look under the foam. Every Homer and Lowe's has extra bulbs.

I've converted all of my D cell Maglites to LED.

Well worth it.

I found a 700 lumen conversion kit for $72. I think im gonna go that route.

I like the toughness of my maglite. I have a streamlight TLR-2 and it is the brightest mofo flashlight I have ever owned and it says 130 lumens. So.... If the mag will have 700 of them by my math that is like 5 times brighter than that bright ass TLR.

Am also doing a 150 lumen led kit for my mini mag. @ $18

700 lumen is dumping a bunch of light and more importantly heat. Standard cells? Check out the battery cost before you buy.

Here is a link to Nite Ize. They have many maglite conversions based on your style maglite, including a one touch on off kit.

Terralux drop in for the maglite is a great LED replacement that is decently priced. If you really want to drop some coin, look into Malkoff drop ins. You can make a maglite amazing with a little know how.

stay away from those Niteize ones though.

TerraLUX TLE-300M-EX EXTREME for 4-6 D Cell MagLites 700 lumens / 3 levels MiniStar30M TLE-300

It seems like it should take the typical D-Cells. I might get some rechargeable Ds though.

700 lumen? G.D. my Surefire Defender is 200 and I've given people LASTING headaches by shining it in their face.

its 700l rating doesnt last very long. It quickly drops to 500l which it is regulated at. Honestly if I were you i would spend that $70 on a Malkoff drop in. much better quality and better battery life.

I ordered the terralux 700 lumen system. It has 3 settings. The dimmest lasts 8hrs and is actually brighter than the standard maglite. If I chose to burn someones retinas and dump all my batteries in an hour, I CAN! I think we have a winner here.

+1 for Malkoff. I've replaced all my Surefire and Maglite bulbs with Malkoff drop-ins.

Got the terra lux kit... Gotta say its awesome. Definitely the brightest option for a maglite. The dimmest setting is brighter than the standard bulb and lasts longer. I also have a really bright setting that will give you welders flash if you look strait into it. But what can i say im a guy there was no stopping me from looking at it.
