New here and bought my first LED flashlight

[Vancouverite]

Bought a Dorcy 1 watt LED flashlight as that's what was available at my local store. Looking forward to buying some of the Fenix lights next week.

I saw that I can convert my 3D cell Maglight to an LED flashlight with the Diamond 3W Luxeon bulb, unfortunately I can't find anyone who carries this in Canada. The one place I saw was www.led-flashlight.ca but my browser indicates there's a security problem with that website so I don't really want to enter my credit card information there.

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get that replacement bulb?

Would one of these fit the bill for you?

I *think* he ships to Canada with no troubles.

You can also get the Terralux for about the same price, maybe even a litle cheaper. I belive they are the same emitter and about the same quality.

Welcome to CPF. Fenix is a good brand to start with. In Canada there is Fenix Tactical. The Fenix store is good too but takes longer for stuff to get to Canada. Check out Lighthound and the Sandwich Shoppe as well. I have dealt with all of them and have had no issues. Have fun.

If you would like something lower priced(and can stand the minimal 2 weeks wait), you can buy current gen LED lights at Dealextreme (Cree/Seoul/Rebel). Look for ones with good reviews so you don't receive crap.

You can probably swap in a Seoul P4 U-bin for the Dorcy to get twice the output.

Look here for Maglite upgrades.

When you get LEDs, try to get the ones with the current gen LEDs. they are at least twice as efficient so you'll get at least double the output for the same power.
