Maglite conversion kits?

Couldn't believe it only had 3 lumens!!!!! thought it must have been a tea light conversion
Checked the advert and it says 30, still as BR says loads brighter available.
Not worth it then.i recently just inherited 3 maglites a big battery jobby down too a tiny one but I just don't know what do wit em seems a waste
Sorry I did mean 30 fumble fingers. But even 30 is pathetic. Maglites are pretty much done now IMO

Tbh it would probably be reasonably cost effective to buy a small high power CREE LED and replace it yourself, thats what I'm planning for my my Mag Mini
I know what you mean I've got a couple myself, pretty well made just old technology.
Looked up an LED conv for my D cell, looked to be around £40/50
I have one that I bought a good while ago, but it was a terra lux cree led like this one, I like it, but to be honest you can buy a higher output torch on Amazon for less than you'll pay for the bulb upgrade.
It's more likely that since this comes from a reputable manufacturer it is accurately stating what the lumen output is , as opposed the the Chinese eBay knockoffs that promise 100 lumen and deliver .... substantially less
I did this a few years back... poo was the outcome lol ive now got a solid little light from AP PROseries from B&Q for £15 and i love it

For the big ones there are many things you can do, have a look on candlepowerforums.com and something like instructables.com. There are loads of projects that can be undertaken using maglites as a chassis for your new torch.
Terralux upgrade, only one worth it - otherwise go for a new torch.
140 lumens cree led for £14ish

I love my maglite, I have two the mini and the bigger one ( which recently broke after it was dropped by a borrower). True it's not the brightest or probably efficient, but I quite like the yellow glow and the way in which it doesn't' leave spots in your eyes or destroy the vision of those standing around you!

I upgraded my 4d cell with an ebay led bulb. Very pleased with the results. I have smaller brighter torches. But thats not why I have a 4d cell one anyway
Interesting. . . . can you remember which one/how much was it or have you got a link please? Ta.
