I have been reading a lot about modifying the standard d cell maglite to run on l.e.d.s Iknow there is a standard maglite drop in but has anybody made their own drop in? if so how hard was it?and where did you get the bits and bobs?Thanks
I disagree 100% SoDak. The Nite-ize one is far more powerful then the std. maglite conversion. And this one has a really cool tailcap!
I've been happy with the Terralux, Diamond 3W, SMJLED, and NITE iZE upgrades for my Maglites. Even though the NITE iZE is much dimmer, it makes up for it in runtime with a usable amount of light. I haven't tried the assembling LED/circuits with soldering and epoxy fun yet. I do have the tools, but haven't tried any of the many tutorials for such upgrades on CandlePower forums. I've just been modifying the outside of 'em with paracord. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
