I'm thinking of modding my Maglite Solitaire. What would be the best way?

I really like it how the Maglite Solitaire lets you use it like a "candle".

If I get a bright enough LED I could use that to fill a whole room with some light.

The simplest would be this drop-in.

Thanks.

Hey, does the Arc 1 AAA let you focus the beam like the Maglite Solitaire?

Gunner12 · Jan 16, 2008

No,

IMO, focusing is not too useful in real life. I just doesn't work well with reflectors. Rings and holes in the beam decrease it's usability.

I've thought about the same thing, and for the price of the mod (compared to the light) it's not worth it for me. Their are so many better small lights out there, I'll just get one of them. Some have suggested gutting it and using it for a pill fob!

Also works great for AAA spares carry.

1+. I have SMJLED2 AAA Solitaire Module and I can tell you: It is the worst upgrade I have ever paid for.

If you want to have a flashlight with candle capabilites go for Minimag 2AA + ArcMania Super MJ LED upgrade for Mini Maglight Flashlight SMJLED. Not as small as a solitaire but a really good one.

Try a 10440 LiIon with a Minimag 2AA bulb -- it will start out significantly brighter than the stock minimag (due to overdrive) draws about 500mA on my multimeter, should run about 25 mins or so.

Take the solitaire. Throw it over your shoulder. Buy an L0D-CE.

LOL! Sure, then someone else will find it, and post another thread asking about modding it!
