- Bought the regular Maglite, for a fraction of the price, and bougt an LED bulb for it online and still spend less than buying an actual LED MagLite.

I knew that foam underneath the spring was in there for a reason. I’m glad I didn’t throw mine away! Thanks for making this video. 😂
Other peoples videos tell you get LED bulbs and don't show you HOW to do it. Yours does. Good job.
Cheers - My Maglite had been very flickery after I changed the bulb - followed your instructions, and it's back to it's epic self again.
...exactly what I was looking for ... I have both 2D and 4D Maglites...time to convert..thanks for the video!
Thanks so much! Ordered but couldn't figure out how to install. Was almost going to send back, but thank goodness for CZcams!!!!
Thanks a bunch for the video. We had an old 2C lying around that got reeeeally dim even with fresh batteries, so I was looking around how to replace the bulb. Never was aware that there's a spare in the cap, now it's back to its original bright state. If that bulb goes dim or burns out I might replace it with an LED module~
Good job, easy after seeing your post
I had bought a used maglite and looking to replace the bulb and I saw your vid where there was an extra one in the cap. I looked and dammit there was one in there. I would have never known, Thank you!!!
just did the same
Its crazy how many people don't know this. Tbh
nice job of tossing the old bulb down on the table then using it as the spare..
So helpful! Thank you!
Helpful, thank you.
Didn't know Maglite kept a spare bulb under the spring! I got one at a garage sale with no bulb.
Thank you! I would have broken the lite to figure that one out!
How's the battery life on this after the upgrade? Seems like a 140 lumen LED should last MANY hours on a 4D (in my case)?
pretty easy thanks
I have an old min mag, and was hoping to upgrade it to led also. The upgrades almost cost as much as a new mini led flashlight. I just bought a Lux Pro LP293 for like $17, and it puts out more than my old Surefire G2X Pro that was $70. Sometimes it pays to just chuck the old stuff and move on.
The new flashlights are smaller and made of thinner/lower grade Aluminum. A good, OLD Maglite is an effective baton. Adding a solid state bulb that will last 10,000 hours to that is far better than buying a new light - providing you like the heft of the old one. I do. I tested out the ability to use it as a club after a friend's husband was killed with one. It's very effective - and with alkaline cells, has more heft than a Louisville slugger.
I have so many led flashlights, & one dark red 3C maglite. I was about to sell the mag lite for $30... Now I dont know WHAT to do! It's the dimmest... But it's also the most rugged/sturdy of all my lights. (i have about 12 that work)
I like the more warm white butter than the cool white
Mine has a set screw that you have to remove before replacing the LED
LED puts incandescent to shame. But I love Incans warm glow. It’s funny having a 4d Incan maglite that gets whooped on by my cellphones flashlight.
very helpful but it's wise to work over a flat surface when retrieving the spare lightbulb and not your lap. The spare may have broken.
Gracias! RTcharger un gran cambio!! OK
Warning! If you own a Maglite with a Xenon bulb assembly (I own a 6 D-cell), which is a newer model, this will not work. The LED bulb does not fit the Xenon bulb collar. You can either enlarge the opening with a rasp or search for a different collar. This is one of the critical things that they neglect to tell you abouy!
Worked great with my ancient Maglite, did not work due to narrow collar with my new Xenon incandescent 4D Maglite.
ola .. voce poderia me falar o valor desta peça? eu axo que ainda nao esta disponivel aqui no brasil!!
Boa noite amigo ...tenho uma dessa quase igual a diferença é que ela é de duas pilha... mais parou de funcionar tem alguma ideia do que poderia te acontecido com ela ?? Vc pode me da umas dicas ?
GIad I could help!
Now my question how does the brighter light have any impact on battery life.
Most disappointing... I cant get the thing to work as a regular flashlight, it either flashes or fibrulates. How to I get back the normal function?
What's the product number and where did you get it?
Amigo dónde puedo conseguir una bombilla de LED
Mine keeps burning bulbs the instant I turn it on. Any suggestions?
+carlorocky You may have to get a resistor. What kind of batteries and LED did you get?
Wow
Mine came with an led bulb but I cannot get it removed. I have been trying for an hour. I have been watching all the simple removals no help. I will take vice grips to it to find out how it works. Then go back to my dollar tree flashlights..
I don't think that the LED Maglites are removable.
been trying that too. keeps spinning around
Good morning po Saab puede makabili po nian?
my bulb goes in with two pins and does not have unscrewing collar
This voids you're life life time warranty
Call there 800 number they have a great trade in program ...
Carlos, not to be a grammar Nazi but, you seem to have a real issue with pronouns. "Your" lifetime warranty not "you're" lifetime warranty and it's call "their" 800 number not "there". Words have meaning.
you can talk next time
would not play
I guess he likes taking batteries out,
Duh.
totally shit light
After over 25 years of using Maglites in law enforcement and EMS, I love them!
Why save the old bulb? ahahhahhaa
So you have a backup if/when the other bulb fails..? Same reason mag lites come with a spare bulb...
Dumb question
That should have been obvious.
“Anyway” is spelled “anyway”. There is no “s”. “Anyway” is not a noun and cannot be plural.
