Hi, first post here.
I own a Magcharger, and have been thinking about upgrading it. It's ten years old(it needs new batteries), and it has been my "bedstand-light" for some years now.
I want to put in a LED-lamp, and change the batteries to some that is longer lasting than the originals (Also, a original replacement batterypack will cost me approx 70 US$ here in Norway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif)
I bought the MinistarII for my Minimag, and is quite happy with that, so I have been looking at the MaxStar for my Magcharger.
What should I think about when I shop, are there any no-no's that I should consider?
What batteries; can I use Nimh or do I have to use NiCad's like the original pack?
Are there other LED-lamps to consider?
Should I consider changing my Lens?
I want to have a light with a high output(the 50 lumens of the MaxStar looks promising), and who'll last longer.
