I have a couple incandescent Mini MagLites that I would like to upgrade to LED. I bought a Nite Ize L.E.D. Upgrade Combo II kit which came ith a push button end cap, LED unit and replacement reflector. It was simple enough to install, but two things went wrong.

1) The beam can now only focus about one half turn, and if it's too focused the flash light head comes unscrewed. if I screw it tighter than one half turn, the light does not turn on, regardless if the switch is on or off.

2) You know how that piece on the bright end says "Do Not Remove"? Well like a genius I removed it, lost the little metal tab and now it doesn't work. I guess I should send it in for the warranty, but is there a better LED conversion kit that can sandwich in the bright end, like the stock pieces?

Ryan.
