Whoops, wrong terralux

[craig333]

Okay, I have an older 3C maglite so I can't use the malakoff drop in. So I order the terralux led upgrade.
Put it in and it works great. Very bright. Hmmm, wait a minute. Thats not a 3 cell maglite, thats a 4 cell. Whoops.

Okay, whats going to happen? Yank it out now or can I just expect some reduced life expectancy?

Could run a dummy spacer in there.

Good idea. I just happen to have one sitting here. Now why didnt I think of that?

You make something that conducts from either end, and is the same shape as a C cell. You can use wires, bolts, plastic, etc.
