Ойын-сауық

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.

    Other peoples videos tell you get LED bulbs and don't show you HOW to do it. Yours does. Good job.

    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. 😂

    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.

    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!!!

    Didn't know Maglite kept a spare bulb under the spring! I got one at a garage sale with no bulb.

    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~

    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.

    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)?

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    “Anyway” is spelled “anyway”. There is no “s”. “Anyway” is not a noun and cannot be plural.
