If you have any old MAGLITE's laying around, what I would advise to do is convert them to an LED, by means of a Maglite LED conversion kit. Mentioned below is a very simple way of doing your own LED Conversions right at home.

It is very simple to upgrade your old Maglite to LED, all you really have to do is replace the halogen bulb with a MAG-LED component.

Pretty simple isn't it?

It really is, the sole thing you really should watch for is to verify you got the correct component.

The main upgrade kits are usually for C or D size flashlights, which come in 2 cell, 3 cell, or 4 cell length.

The simplicity of this transfer has something to do with the old halogen bulbs being similar in dimensions to the LED units. Thus making it a great fit.

A crucial thing to keep in mind is that you must check that you do not get the wrong conversion kit. Each cell size has a different kit to fit with it, if you get the wrong one you are going to overdrive, or possible undersink the LED. This will destroy your Maglite, and we all know you don't wish to do that.

The advantages to doing this change, is two fold:

- Firstly, you will get a more sturdy MAG, as the LED is very well built, and is not going to rupture on an impact.

- And the next is, the battery life of your newly upgraded mag will be 2 - 6 times longer, so, you will need to buy less batteries, or recharge them less often, overall, that is a very good thing - More time to use it.

So as you can make out, there is nothing really hindering you from upgrading using a maglite LED conversion kit, it's easy, it's reliable ( as long as you go by the proper instructions), and it makes for a much better Maglite, that is going to last you for more time than your previous one would.
