Drop-in LED adaptor for old style Solitaire?
on: January 23, 2018, 11:19:20 AM
My wife has an old style Solitaire she really likes and I want to update it to an LED - Are there adaptors for this? I upgraded my 2xAA Maglite to LED but can't find a Solitaire option.

The problem with these upgrades is that they usually cost more than buying a new light with a LED, even an LED solitaire

You also have to worry about the quality, heat extraction etc, whereas with a new LED light these should not be an issue.

try CPF or BLF

Is it not possible to find a new style solitaire and use parts from it?  :think:
I don’t know much about maglights. :shrug:
I went searching the CPF website and most people were saying “just get a new better light”.  :rofl:
It seems that some people have made and sold led adapters, so maybe look into that? Though it may be expensive.
I did also find this:

Dunno if that will help, in my experience those mini “bulb” style Leds are not as bright as the bordering-on-magically-bright SMD ones that most proper torch manufacturers use.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!
