If you have any old MAGLITE's lying around, what I would advise to do is convert them to an LED, by means of a Maglite LED conversion kit. Listed below is a very simple way of doing your own LED Conversions right at home.

It is very simple to upgrade your old Maglite to LED, all you really should do is replace the halogen bulb by a MAG-LED component.

Pretty simple isn't it?

It really is, the only thing you really must watch for is to confirm you got the exact component.

The main upgrade kits are usually for C or D size flashlights, which come in 2 cell, 3 cell, or 4 cell length.

The convenience of this transfer has something to do with the old halogen lights being similar in measurement to the LED units. Thus making it a great fit.

A crucial thing to remember is that you must verify that you do not get the wrong conversion kit. Each cell size has a different kit to match it, if you get the wrong one you are going to overdrive, or probable undersink the LED. This will destroy your Maglite, and we all know you don't wish to do that.

The benefits to doing this upgrade, is two fold:

- First of all, you will get a more sturdy MAG, as the LED is very well built, and will not rupture on an impact.

- And the next is, the battery life of your newly upgraded mag will be 2 - 6 times longer, so, you should buy less batteries, or recharge them less frequently, overall, that is a very good thing - More time to use it.

So as you can see, there is nothing really preventing you from upgrading by means of a maglite LED conversion kit, it's easy, it's useful ( as long as you go by the proper instructions), and it makes for a much better Maglite, that is going to last you for more time than your old one would.
