In the last round of splurge spending, I stashed 2D Maglights around the house and cars, about 6 or more, I don't think I could find them all anymore
These are my Everyone-Grab-a-Light lights, and I'd like to upgrade/replace them, since I've grown so tired of the crappy light output. Even when there is life left in the cells, the output is nearly useless.

I'm afraid this means I might need regulated LED mods, but I'm not ready for that yet-- it may break my budget.</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Still use D cells. I have a crate or two
</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Minimal work. I don't solder.</font>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Less than $20 per light.</font>[/list]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">My focus just as strong on using D cells as using the existing lights. I'm not ready to completely replace them and move to AA or 123...yet. If I decide to abandon them, then it's a whole new set of variables.
Any suggestions, comments or similar experiences appreciated.
