Here is a clip from the original thread if you have not seen this before.


If your reading this thread then like me you appreciate the fine looks and good quality of a Maglite host. Maglites are some of the most durable and brightly colored hosts on earth.

That said most of you know there is room for some improvement in the out put area. The world is not short of "upgrades" for maglite, but many of these have a disappointing output, can require significant modification to the mag host, require special batteries, and many cost several hundred dollars :mad:.

Today Adventure Sport Flashlights™ recognizes these issues and has answered the call to create something better.


The Adventure Sport Super Bulb™ drop-in addresses all of these issues. This piece of technology was countless hours in development, but worth every moment.


These bulbs are a perfect fit for both C or D maglites, and use requires no modification of the light, special skills or any tools. It takes any 3-4 cell Mag ( with C/D in the serial number) and transforms it into a wall of fire in less than 60 seconds.

Furthermore because of its ease of use this bulb transcends the boundaries and walls of typical flashaholic use. Its an exceptional choice for family and friends with no in depth knowledge of traditional super lights. To further encompass all of our fellow man in the thrill of bleeding edge technology, best of all the Adventure Sport Super Bulb™ requires NO SPECIAL BATTERIES OR CHARGERS!!

Yes, of course NIMH cells are going to be more cost effective and drive the bulb better, but the point is you can still use alkalines if you really want to :)

Will the D cell model fit in an older pre-D Mag body? If not, have you ever considered making a run that will? Thanks, Tom

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "pre-D body"? Either it takes D cells or it doesn't.....? :confused:

Thanks for the support guys.

tj, these will only fit the new mags. Right now I have no plan on making a bulb for the older version. I dont even have one myself anymore:D

At some point in the 90s I think it was mag added the letter "D" or "C" to the first part of the serial number of each light. Lights that were made before this time had a larger body diameter, slightly different switch and the head depth was also different.

~3a on high, That's good. Means it'd be safe to use on protected lithium rechargables. Also puts it into consideration for a swap i'm thinking of. Man I need a second job. lol.

Another question. I saw that the older revisions had a much larger reflector. Did that offer a tighter hotspot and greater throw? And if so is there an option to get the larger reflector with the newer guts?

The old version did have a bit tighter hot spot to it. I'm not really running those anymore, but if you would like to have a thrower with a tight hot spot I could put a de-domed LED in one for ya. This would significantly increase the throw.

Got my warm drop-in today. The yellowy beam is like an incan on steroids. :D

Maybe you should consider offering an upgraded lens as an optional item. I felt kind of bad about putting that cheap plastic lens back in with this nice emitter!
