I've had a 6D Maglite for years. Last week, I was using it for several hours and would shut off. If I shook it or knocked it, it came back on. Any ideas?_
Also, I'm thinking about an LED conversion. I read a post from 2008 and was wondering if there's any more recent recommendations. Also, most of the LED output is given with a time (e.g. 240 lumens for 8 hours). Just want to make sure that the LED will only last 8 hours before it dies and needs to be replaced. Will it shut off after 8 hours, overheat? If the LED will last forever (like most LEDs do), how many hours on the 6Ds can I expect? Thanks for clarifying.
The two LED conversions I keep finding are the Malkoff and Terralux. Which of these is recommended or are there others?
Thanks for the help!!
