    Old Maglite Conversions

    I have to check the specs for the Nite Ize Mini Mag kits I got. I remember there were three different versions when I bought them. The first one didn't have a lumens rating from what I remember. It required the removal of the Mag reflector since this particular Nite Ize kit used 3 small LEDs...

    LED fell off and it was CPF'ed back on.

    Re: LED fell off Also, just curious how you guys ship big flashlights. I initially tried sending it in a 3M padded envelope from Walmart and the post office lady said it should be in a box. I ended up using a 3" diameter mailing tube from Office Depot. It was 36" long but I cut it in half...

    LED fell off and it was CPF'ed back on.

    Re: LED fell off I tried editing title but I don't think I can. Anyways, been away for a while but turnaround was quick. I sent it out on 9/19. Post office said expected arrival was Tuesday. Instead I get an email from FRITZHID that it arrived on Monday! He did his magic and I got the...

    Re: LED fell off The star is still glued to the heat sink. The furthest this thing has been taken apart is what's shown in the pics. I have no experience soldering at all. If my dad was in better health before he passed he probably could've fixed it himself as he was an EMCS in the Navy...

    LED fell off and it was CPF'ed back on.

    Re: LED fell off Sorry for late reply. I've been busy with work and traveling but I'm off for a week and am at my father's house in Southern California. I took another pic that's hopefully better.

    Maglite LED 2nd generation question

    The first generation MagLED drop-ins sometimes had the LED separate if the light was dropped. I have a couple standard incan 3D Mags with Terralux drop-ins (Rebel LED) and they are pretty much the same in terms of brightness (lighting up a dark room by pointing at the ceiling) as the 2nd...

    Re: LED fell off I will take a better pic of the LED this weekend when I am there.

    LED fell off and it was CPF'ed back on.

    Re: LED fell off From what I remember my dad telling me he went to use it and it didn't work. He heard something moving around in the head and saw the LED fell off. He then put it in a drawer and only told me when I asked him where it was so I could compare it with my own XML 3D Home Depot...

    LED fell off and it was CPF'ed back on.

    My dad just passed away and one of his flashlights had the LED come off. From what I remember it was an XML 3-D flashlight from Home Depot that goes for around $29.99. My dad said it just fell off and he never dropped or abused the light. From what I saw there's just a white square where the LED...

    Black Friday 2014 - Discussion Thread

    I'm not familiar with the Lowes house brand "Utilitech" but they will have a 1000-lumen flashlight for $19.99 and a 500-lumen version for $15.99. The picture was of a flashlight that looks to use C or D cells.

    What's your car EDC?

    I have a claimed 80-lumen 3xAAA "tactical" LED light from Home Depot. It came in a 2-pack on sale for $7.99 I think.

    Maglite issues

    Malkoffs are the best for Mags. I have both the $39 XPG and $69 XML versions and they are awesome. www.malkoffdevices.com Terralux has some decent drop-ins. The 1W LED posted above looks similar to the Terralux TLE-1F. It's ok, maybe on par with the original MagLED Luxeon III...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    I ordered these on Amazon because they were cheap but after reading the reviews I'm experiencing buyer's remorse. I'll see how they're like when they arrive. Lots of reviews are good but maybe they don't know what 300 lumens is like because the negative reviewers seem to be more knowledgeable...
