Try searching for magcharger.

The easiest mods are to stick either a Welch-Allyn 1162 bulb or a Sylvania 5761 bulb in it. The latter is easier to find (ebay), but requires that you open up the hole in the refector just a bit.
Beyond that, you can replace the reflector and/or battery, which you'll find as radar said by doing a little search.

A textured reflector makes a huge difference in the beam. you lose some throw but it looks much better. Aside from that the Sylvania 5761 bulb is nice.
I have one that is using a 55W halogen bulb and 3 18650's, all it's good for is starting fires and melting the plastic socket.

Magcharger as base light for a Mag85?
here are links:
Magcharger How good is it? is my response:
Brightest Simple Mag Charger Mod, brighter than the 1160
Another M*gCharger 5761, but why this is my brightest, best MC mod
NTC soft start cures 5761 insta-flashes in MC
MagCharger Hot Wire hosts?
2,272 foot throw from my MagCharger! This mod has now been bested by the lithium powered MC I built noted above.
Lithium Charging In MagCharger-Expert NEEDED! about the diode
My first improvement did throw 2,272 feet and I now have a light that beats that!
The 5761 bulb is the trick. you can run that bulb on the stock cell or juice it up to 7.1 V bulb on 7.2 V packs.
Just remember in comparing bulb lumens and torch lumens are what the bulb emits and what actually comes out of the light is 65%.
