Howdy all, new to the forum.

I have two of the old Maglites, what kind of upgrades are there that are drop ins? Lens, bulbs, etc? More Lumens available?

Thanks!

I don't see any listings for 7D. Uh see the superbrightleds PR2-1WHP-30V below.

superbrightleds has a couple of PR LED bulbs.
PR2-1WHP-30V. Flange base 1 Watt High Power Cree XRE Cool White LED. 1 to 9 Volts DC and 7 to 30 Volts DC. 100 lumen.
I recommend the 7-30V as buck regulators are more efficient and probably brighter.
PR2-3WHP-9V. Flange base 3 Watt High Power Cool White LED. 3.5 to 9 Volts DC operating voltage range, 180 lumen. 110 degree beam pattern

You need the glass lens and metal reflector. The bulb runs so hot it will melt the stock reflector and lens. You do not need the battery adapter as you already have a 6D.

Popular bulbs current draw; SF & other brands, incl hotwires

There may be bulbs for your 7D there.
Again you need to upgrade your reflector and lens.
