Maglite LED and incan mods and drop-ins, Overview

Go for a Malkoff Device...you won't regret it.:thumbsup:

Thanks for both of these ideas. I might try both and use the Fusion 36 in a 2D and try the Makoff in the 6D. I'd guess the 6D would benefit from the focusing ability.

I like the RoP bulb in my 6D - lotsa light!

Definitely worth considering...done with good parts and batteries, an ROP is more than respectable!

I'm having trouble finding the RoP online. Can someone point me to it? I did get the Fusion, and it really is quite nice and easy to install. I would be interested in the other choices though!

I use an aluminium reflector, glass lens and of course the RoP bulb (currently a RoP High in my 6D).
The only weak point for me is my very old NiCd batteries that are only good when they have been recently recharged, but 6 new 10Ah NiMH cells would cost a bit.
I do have several 2D RoPs that I use a lot though - using 2 x 32650 LiCo cells.
I love the light from a well over-driven incan bulb!

Can anyone tell me where I can find the front bexel replacement ring for a C size Maglite? I looking for the tactical (toothy) bezel. thanks for any help.

Gene Malkoff used to (and still may) sell them at Malkoff Devices website.

:welcome:

Wow, there is lots of great info here and to be honest a bit overwhelming.
I have been looking through the forum for info on modding my Maglite 6D.
I bought it in 2012 and replaced the standard bulb by a krypton bulb from Maglite.

As I also bought some Maglite Mini LED flashlights, that I use most, I thought it would be cool to transform my 6D into a monster like MrArtillery's Dominator.
But I have a lot of trouble trying to find where I can get the parts for this mod.

Can anyone help out?

Thanks,

Thanks guys for all the help.

Not sure if anyone is interested but I have a few Maglite 6C lights that I have decided to sell. Feel free to contact or check my link.

Just curious, does anyone know if Malkoff still makes the Maglite 2D drop in? I've got an old 2D that could use some better output, and it looks like that would be a good option. Thanks.

Just saw this on eBay and emailed about it.
