I unscrewed the head for candle mode & the LED puck popped out & got lost. I saw its trajectory, but suddenly it got real dark... The body is a discontinued color, so I really want to find another LED for it.

The tailcap on this generation has the lanyard hole "cutting out" half the bottom - not sure if all LEDs are compatible with this version vs the older tailcap without it.

Some brands like NiteIze just advertise watts (1.5 now, I see; 30 lumens "LRB2") other brands have come on the market, some advertise the Lumens.

UpLED Mini Maglite AA LED Upgrade Bulb, Flashlight Conversion, 1 Watt ( 120 lm )
UpLED Mini Maglite LED Conversion Upgrade AA Kit 180 Lumen 1.5w 2 Mode Flashlight

This is an entire pill, not just a round disc with 2 wires, 475 Lm (brand "Torch Upgrades"):
ebay.com/itm/124578611864
"Designed for 2 cell AA LED Mini MagLite torches." so it won't fit an incan type, but certainly an upgrade of a native LED version.

Discs by same maker as above for incans:
Mini MagLite LED Conversion Upgrade bulb 225LM High Power Flashlight Torch 2AA
Mini MagLite LED Conversion Upgrade bulb Flashlight Torch 2AA Cell Philips LED - which is 1W 90 Lm
Mini MagLite AA Torch Flashlight Push Button (clicky) End Tail Cap Switch

Just for the historical record:
TerraLUX by Lightstar Mini Maglite LED Conversion Kit – For 2 AA Mini Maglite Flashlights – Upgrade or Replace Your Flashlight / Torch Bulb – 200 Lumens, 4 Hour Runtime – Ministar 5B TLE-5EX

And I see one version is still available:
shop.fireflybuys.com/shop-all/home-improvement/flashlights/terralux-tle-5ex-ministar2-led-upgrade-conversion-kit-for-2-aa-mini-maglite/
  • TerraLUX™ MiniStar2 Extreme LED Upgrade for Mini MagLite 2AA Flashlight
  • 140 lumen output; 4 hour runtime
