What are you using in your MagLight?
[/ QUOTE ]
Nothing exciting, I have EverLEDs in all my Maglites. Some Lambertian, and some side-emitters.
The Mags with EverLED side emitters also have a LDF lens to clean up the ugly beam artifacts.
Since I find the beam quality satisfactory on the Lambertian Ever-LEDs, I leave the clear lens on it for more throw.
If I found a reliable, easy to install myself Lux III emitter for a Maglite, I'd give it a try. But the only ones I've heard of either require experienced installation, or are not properly heatsinked. If anyone has Lux III suggestions, I will listen. I essentially want to stick with Maglites because of all the C and D flashlights, they are the only one that meets my quality requirements without being too expensive (as the Tektite C/D lights are). I don't mind paying a lot of money for a really nice 123 light like a Surefire, but since there is NOT anything in C/D that come close to Surefire quality my opinion says I don't want to pay Surefire price.
