The SMJLED for the Mini Maglite is popular so it had to continue and improve. The SMJLED2 will soon replace the original Mini Maglite 2xAA drop-in. It is brighter because of the Power Wafer active electronics. It has a new emitter for a white tint beam. The price will be in the low double-digits. It will be available exclusively at The Sandwich Shoppe soon.
The light is impressively bright. The beam a close to the output of a Lux I emitter but uses a 5mm emitter, obviously from another company. I understand the SMJLED2 is a Cree XLamp. To boost the brightness of the emitter, the Power Wafer has very small, active, electronics. The SMJLED2 has the advantage of a better run-time over the Lux I. The light still has moon mode when the batteries are drained.
We know how tough a Mini Maglite is. Make it tougher with the SMJLED2. I like the fact that the original Minimag stays intact. The Power Wafer is installed on the original Maglite switch. Then the thinner then ever before wafer is sandwiched between the body and the head of the light. But the light can be changed back to the original form easily using the spare bulb stored in the tail cap. But why would you want to change it back?
This SMJLED2 kit includes the emitter/Power Wafer and a reflector with a wider opening at the base to fit the 5mm emitter.
Watch for the exclusive, late summer, sale at The Sandwich Shoppe.
