200fr...I have one of the old and one of the new style MagmaLED's. They are good products IMHO as far as doing what they were designed for. However, 1 word of caution: If they do have a weak point, it's the pins that plug into the bulb socket. The older style one that I have started to flicker (I'm using it in a 2XAAA MiniMag), so I took it out and noticed that the pins were becoming loose. To avoid any more loosening as a result of the light being turned on and off, I permanently affixed it in place on the AAA MiniMag with a drop of super glue. Problem solved with that one. On the newer model that I bought directly from Technology Associates, the pins became extremely loose after only a couple days use. They're so loose now that more times than not it won't even turn on; and when it does turn on it is only about 1/4 brightness. It can probably be resoldered, but it would require a far steadier hand than I have due to the extremely small size of what needs to be soldered. If you plan on keeping the MagmaLED in the same light, I HIGHLY recommend permanently affixing it in place with a drop of super glue so it can't "shift" around in the socket when being turned on and off. Also, be extremely careful not to over-tighten it when turning it off...they're good products, but the pins are EXTREMELY fragile! FYI...
