    please point n00b to "old maglite" Xenon-to-LED conversion tips

    Beyond a decent LED like Lumencraft's 325 lumen drop-in and some good NiMH or Li-ion batteries (you will need an adapter for the Li-ions), I don't see much of a practical reason to mod old Mags, unless you are just doing it for fun. If you want a better light with similar looks and form...

    Light for an usher in a theater?

    Those lights were pretty decent, the switch was more or less reliable, they were brighter than the typical 2D light and the cost about what you would pay for a pair of D cells. Everyready made them back then and I think someone is still making them under other brand names.

    Streamlight 1L - 1AA - runs on CR123's or AA's and AAA's can be used in a pinch.

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    On high, it's more like mini road flare mode. BTW, you can run the 2C ML25 and ML50 on a Li-ion 18650 or 21700 in an adapter if you want lighter weight with long run time. I would not use alkaline C cells - you can get just as long if not longer run time with AA energizer L91's or even a...

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    You might be able to do the candle mode on low (29 lumens), but those LEDs are bright! The ML25 is a lot easier to twist on with one hand than the AA Mini Mag, so it would probably be OK for security work, though I would prefer a ML50LX.

    I used to sell them, but I no longer have the time.

    Will I turn into a Maglite fan once again?

    Everyone should have a ML25 - great light! If it's the LED version, it's probably going to be too bright for candle mode. I 3D printed a diffuser and base for mine to turn it into a lantern.

    Preview of future Police Car Chases?

    I don't see why they still chase people in CA if they are just going to let them go with no bail. Definitely not worth endangering the public unless the people being chased are more dangerous. Water (lots of it) is pretty much the only practical way to fight lithium battery fires - the water...

    The ML25 head comes off to be used as a stand for candle mode - just like the Mini Mag.
