The old PR bulb style 2D and 3D maglites were much brighter with the new Terralux led bulbs, but the new 5D I just got has the new bi pin style lamp and the package said it has 151 lumens. Had I known that before I ordered it, I probably wouldn't have gotten the led lamp. I just wanted something...
Got the new one to work, just had to use my dremmel tool to open the hole up some. But the new LED light isn't any brighter than the bulb that came in it. At least I can look forward to much improved battery life with the new bulb.
Just found out that the newer incan maglites use a bi pin xenon lamp, does anyone know if the TerraLUX TLE-6EX will still work in them? If they do, how much, if any modification does it require to make it work/fit?
Just picked one up, thanks for the heads up! Walmart.com also has them for the same price right now. Just going to put a Terralux drop in led in it like I did with my 2 and 3 D cell maglites. Will make for a better light/club for the car than the current 3D I'm packing now.
I'm looking for a drop in for my older G2 Nitrolon that will maintain constant output and not dim as the batteries deplete, which ones do that, if any?
