3-Cell LED MagLites: Are Selling Two Types?

johnboy777 · Nov 28, 2009

I went to Lowe's today and purchased two 3 D-Cell LED MagLites for $14 each and they are different.

One has an LED that seems to sit further back in the reflector and the LED units themselves are different.

Also, one is a whiter light with a tighter pattern and better throw.

I took both reflectors out and they are indeed different, as well.

What gives?

One is a Lux 3 (old generation) and one is a Rebel (newer generation).

Got it -- thanks for the info.

BTW, will both the Lux 3 and the Rebel (3 D-Cell LED MagLites) take the Malkoff Drop In?

Marduke · Nov 28, 2009

No, the rebel version will not. The Lux version is based off the Incan version, which is what the Malkoff is designed for.

The Lux 3 version is essentially a Incan Maglite 3 cell with a 3 cell MagLED drop-in. It should even have an incan replacement bulb in the tailcap.

The Rebel version is a redesigned version with a deeper reflector, more current LED, and doesn't have an incan replacement bulb.

Thanks again, for all of the information.
