Hi, I only came across CPF a few weeks ago but I soon decided to see what the fuss was about with the Luxeons and bought a Nexgen 750mA TW0J from the Sandwich Shoppe for my maglite AA.
It's much brighter than the stock bulb but the only problem is that its hard to switch off, it really needs to be tightened quite hard.
I originally used the maglite without the retaining ring and I've since tried it with the retaining ring firmly tucked behind the LE, and also tried different AA batteries to see if the first set were longer than average, but to no avail.
I've considered buying a kroll switch but I don't want to lose the tail standing ability unless I'm left with no choice.
For completeness, I should point out that the maglite is proabbly ten years old, has seen little action but has not worked for several years becuase it would not switch on - when I dissembled it for the sandwich a little clip dropped out from the underside of the switch and I assume that was linked to the fault.
Can anyone point out the silly oversight on my part? :shrug:
Thanks
Craig
