I have a 5D maglite that I just resurrected. If my memory serves me, I bought it in the early 80s. It was beat inside and out, and I just cleaned it up, repainted it, and plan to keep it in my truck as a backup light, and a little bit of personal protection.

It works fine, and the stock bulb works, but I was wondering what the brightest replacement bulb that will work in it is, LED if possible.

Malkoff makes a nice module for the Mag but the older ones (No D in the serial number) need an adapter sleeve which they also sell.

Best bang for buck is the Terralux upgrade, but it's not the brightest. I bought one for my 4D Maglite and it wows most people I show it to....

Until I show them the TK41 on turbo mode.
