3D LED Maglite questions

[C_Moore]

I have a 3D LED Maglite, and one of the prongs on the led broke off. It broke from me removing it multiple times to clean the area underneath the led, it would get a little corrosion under it.

So now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Malkoff drop in? Can I buy a new led by its self to replace it with and use the old parts?

Just trying to figure out the most cost effective way without sacrificing reliability or light output.

It depends on which led light you have. What kind of emitter is it? It should be either a rebel80 or a luxeon3(I think). I suppose you could swap it for a rebel100 or a ssc P4? I'm not sure the malkoff will work with the LED lights. Does it have the same plastic bulb tower setup as the incandescents?

do mag leds built the same way as incand?? cuz reflector looks deeper, i'm pretty sure cam is different too, not sure if any led retrofit for incand. mag would work with magled. but i might be wrong thou.

your best bet would be calling maglite and see if they can send you spare led.

MagLEDs are exactly the same as the incan versions dimensionally. The only difference is the drop-in bulb and the packaging. Of course this is not true of the mini-mags.

yes dimensionally they are the same, but reflector is deeper and led sits deeper, that made me think internal cam might be different

I think the older Luxeons are a retrofit bulb with a driver built in. Something like the terralux drop-ins. Not really the greatest for heat.
