    Maglite LED now using Cree XP-E

    Okay, the thread is old and is over six pages long, but even so, I could not find the answer to a basic, simple question, so let me explain my situation. I have an old Maglite Five cell incandescent flashlight. I also have a 3 cell LED with the 484 Cree. Can I install the switch and LED into...

    Nite Ize 55 lumens: Maglite 3 D Cell: 19000 mAh 3.6 volt TL2300 D cell batteries

    I converted 2 of my Maglite 3"D" cell flashlights from incandescent to LED using the Nite Ize 55 Lumen conversion from Home Depot. This made a noticeable difference.. Since this LED will handle up to 6 "D" Cells I am contemplating using three of my 19000 mAh 3.6 volt TL2300 "D" cell batteries...

    Charging NiCads

    No, I burned up the Maglite Charger in two hours.. Battery pack did get a good charge and did not get hot. Seems like it needs the cradle.

    Charging NiCads

    Changing my charging procedure. I have a maglite charger (14 volt) I do not have the actual cradle attachment that this wall wart would plug into. Can I charge the single 7.2 volt battery pack by attaching the leads to each end of the battery pack? apparently this is the same as attaching the...

    Magcharger

    I have tried both NiCad and NiMH fully charged. The batteries work great with all of my other versions of the Magcharger. The newer style switch is throwing me. Might call MagLight and talk with their Support team. Somehow I believe you are far more knowledgable than the on call representative...

    Magcharger

    Acquired five Magcharger flashlights.My understanding is there are five different switches for the magcharger. The ones mounted in the five new Magchargers are the newer, black, domed type. They are the multi-function type. With fresh batteries I can turn them on and get a very dim light for a...

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    Some of you are really very good at modding. Some are great at building collections. I seem to be going through a hording phase.. Love reading about the mods and the history lessons..

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    Your answers are all interesting.. Decided to use the 4 cell bulbs for a while and purchase the new Magcharger ML150LR. 1082 Lumens.. Flashlights are an addicting and affordable hobby. (if you budget properly) Mods are nice, but advanced technology is almost a no brainer. Everyone's...

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    Love my 2xAA MiniMag 272 lumen Pro. Would love to also have the XL50 Three cell AAA at 200 Lumens. The five cell classic is like carrying a baseball bat, resting it on your shoulder makes it seem a little more like a workhorse with a purpose. If it were a seven cell, might be more useful as a...

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    Thank you! The 6 cell bulb did turn black quite quickly. The 5 cell bi-pin bulbs seem to be the best alternative. LiftdT4R as a side note: Looking at the Maglite ML150LR as my next Maglite Purchase. 1082 Lumens for 3 hours and 15 minutes and rechargeable. You have inspired me to increase...

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    As you probably were figuring, I have now tried both bulbs and have compared the immediate/short term effects. The 4 cell bulb is obviously brighter and since I have quite a few of them, I will see how long this one will last. Not like I will ever need the five cell maglite, but having a growing...

    Krypton vs. Halogen vs. Xenon?

    But, as the years roll by, krypton still rules the day with its heat of fusion of 1.63 kilojoules per mole.

    Maglite five "D" cell blubs

    I have a Maglite five cell but do not have any five cell bulbs. Instead I have 6 cell KRYPTON bulbs and 4 Cell Krypton bulbs. Which would you use? In your opinion/experience, would the 4 cell bulbs burn out in a week but burn brighter? or would they last perhaps 80 percent as long as the...
