xexon bulbs ? big improvement ?

pjhead · Apr 22, 2004

i just got a xexon bulb for my maglite (6C) for the car, i guess the advantage is a more focussed beam, seemed about the same brightness level to me...any thoughts ? i know i should have the rechargable but mine was only about $23 and it makes quite an impact weapon.

If you want obviously brighter, put a 5 cell Xenon in there!

i also have a 6c mag. besides putting a 5c bulb in it, are there any other mods that will make it brighter?

Lots-Run a search here and in Homemade/Modified lights using Ginseng as the poster and you will be amazed.

Some are easy, bulb replacements,etc.Others get much more complex. If you go to the Homemade/Modified page and ask, lots of people will respond.

I find the M*g Xenon bulbs to be usefull in other lights more so than M*gs.

In a M*glight itself, they generally make a tighter (and therefore whiter ) beam. In something like a TEC 40 a 4cell Xenon is NICE!

In an older PR based Rayovac 2AA, a 2 cell Xenon and Lith AAs are SWEET!
