Is there an LED drop-in for a 4 C cell Maglite?

I'd like to get rid of the stock bulb in my 4 C maglite and was wonder if anyone here makes an LED drop in or even a Xenon replacement.

Just something to make this thing useable without the traditional rings/dark spot in the center of the beam.

I know there are Maglite D Cell upgrades like the Mag85 but I prefer the C cell size.

Thanks,

Try my favorite cheap 4 Batt upgrade. Go to Radio Shack and pick up a XPR103 xenon bulb. Replace the stock bulb. You will be impressed.

To get rid of the crappy beam artifacts, go to Wally World and pick up some Contact brand, clear contact paper (film). Apply to inside of lens. This does an amazing job of cleaning up the beam. If you want more throw with less beam conditioning you can try the WriteRite PDA screen protector film on the lens.

You can also "sputter" the reflector (search the forum for details).

Have fun, TR
