I searched and found where it said to push hard to get the module out.

Mine came out in pieces. Worst was the LED had popped off.

I figured out LED orientation, but nobody ever said how to put the module back.

When I did, the plastic "cup" shattered, and the LED went flying.

Worst of ALL I can't find the LED. :awman::rant::popcorn:

Pics? I think maybe you didn't remove something before you umm pushed...iono dude that sucks luckily it wasn't a sheel shock price tag surefire. I doubt they explode like that though.

.....

You bought the module to pop into a standard 3aa mag and jacked it up?? The answer, "Look at my title.." didn't really answer my question...

Er, Uh a 3AA M*gled as it says in the title....

I had planned to swap the whiter module from my low serial number 3AA into my truck carried 3AA.

Fortunately it was the latter light I killed...

Does an ordinary sammie fit in there? You could pop in a better driver with a better LED. Or maybe one of them SSC P4 LED's.

Or you could give it to me. :grin2:

All is not lost!

My oldish Madmax+ which I had ghetto modded into a C/D reflector has a more pleasing beam with the head of the 3AA than with the optic it came with. And is DEFINATELY more portable with that than with the ghetto Reflector.

A standard sammie won't work. The lip is around 1/2" down in the body.

If I hadn't lost the LED, it's possible it would have still worked...

I couldn't afford and know nothing about modding sammies and Crees anyhow!

It seems I had forgotten the other reason I didn't "play" with that Madmax+ all that much.

Man, has this thing ever got the pink/purple/blue going on! It makes Hi-Liter ink show up nearly as good as the Dollar Tree 3AAA 3LED that is my champ at that.

It has a quite pleasing beam shape however.

Sure wish I hadn't lost the LED from the M*g module!
