    Brightstar Incans

    If you're looking for the old government and utility company issued ones. I have a couple. One is stamped Con Edison, the other stamped NYC Transit Auth. They didn't age well. They are not water or moisture resistant at all. They oxidize terribly inside. They are the only flashlights I've ever...

    Old Maglite Conversions

    I got the Nite-ize kit. It's a typical LED blue-cast light. Not crazy about that color temp. I find that whatever you're looking at loses it's depth and definition, as compared to the warmer color of incan. Definitely brighter though. I drilled a tiny diagonal hole for the lanyard in the tail...

    Old Maglite Conversions

    Sorry CoffeeCup. didn't mean to ignore your question. Yes. Going with the Mini Pro is a no brainer if I didn't already have the light. I only bought this one a couple years ago. When I thought the kit was $16, I was undecided. But finding them at Lowe's For $7.50. I would rather that, than...

    Failed Feit 9 watt LED 60 Watt Replacement bulbs.

    I emailed Feit again. She is sending a replacement bulb for the latest failure. Whoever does their customer service emails is either in another country or does it from home in the middle of the night. The responses come in around 2-3 am est.

    Old Maglite Conversions

    Thanks bykfixer. One thing that always bothered me about the Fulton. It's military spec(for the 1960's), and still issued today. So you would expect it to be decent quality. It's crap. The threads are cut crooked in the tailcap which makes it grind when oneping and closing. And the worst part is...

    Old Maglite Conversions

    Thanks for the Lowes tip. It's only 7.50. I was just about to get it on Ebay at $16. It looks like there's enough meat on that tail cap to drill a tiny diagonal hole for a tassel. I hang it up, so I want the tassel. If 30 lumens is a huge improvement over the stock 14, then the 270 lumens of the...

    Counterfeit Maglites?

    I don't know what mine came with originally, but I remember Maglites were revolutionary at the time. A) for law enforcement using them as Billyclubs, and B) for the new technology super bright bulbs. I bought the mini AA with the hex bumper and the Solitaire at the same time. The AA was stolen...

    Failed Feit 9 watt LED 60 Watt Replacement bulbs.

    You took it apart? There's an orange LED in it? I thought the orange spot I saw through the glob was something overheating, and burning out. I got a bunch of 60 watt replacements at Dollar Tree(for a buck). They are very lightweight, all plastic, but 3000k. I can't see the difference 3000 or...

    Old Maglite Conversions

    Hi guys. I have a couple old AA Mini-Mags I want to convert to LED. I don't know what to get. There's a Nite-Ize LED kit for around $16 that includes an end cap clicky. But it's only 30 lumens. Seems kind of weak, considering the stock xenon/krypton bulb is 14 and the new updated AA LED Mags are...

    Failed Feit 9 watt LED 60 Watt Replacement bulbs.

    Hi Guys. Just a report in case someone else has these issues with Feit 60 watt replacement bulbs and what you may expect. So last year (Nov.2015) I bought two 3-packs of Feit 60 watt standard replacement LED bulbs at Costco. Model BPCEAG800/927/LED/3. Lot 280-2-15-22. They are a type that...

    Counterfeit Maglites?

    Thanks for the input. I guess I'll get it from Ecop. Do you know if there have been any updates or changes to them over the years? I'm getting the granny smith green. I'd like it to be the same as my old one.

    Counterfeit Maglites?

    Hello Forum. First Post. Are counterfeit Maglites an issue? I lost my Maglite Solitaire that I've had since they were issued. I guess 25 years maybe? I went on Ebay for a replacement. There are giftsets, but there are a couple package variations among sellers. I know the Chinese are knocking...
