I want brighter light but not a bigger package. I started looking a bit at surefire and they all take 123 batteries, I've pretty much standardized on AAA's and don't want to stock another type for all my gear/gadgets. Most of the mods and conversions for Mags are for the AA, its too big for my EDC. Can I make my AAA Mag brighter or is there a better replacement?
Mod or Replace a Mag AAA?

Check the Micro-Illuminator and also here
Just checked on the light meter and the AAA MiniMag was 150 Fc @ 1 foot and the Micro Illuminator was 66 Fc @ ! foot (both at center of beam).
To increase the brightness without changing the form of the AAA MM, replace the Mag bulb with a Brinkmann Nexstar bulb.
Also send the diameter of the AAA MM lens to Flashlightlens.com and see if he will cut you a UCL lens. That should get you close to a 10% increase in brightness.
Changing the bulb and lens should give your AAA MM a new lease on life.
