So what is the bottom line on good conversion kits, drop-ins, or having mods done to convert old-fashioned incandescent or single-mode Maglites to a good, warm tint or high-CRI LED, preferably something like a Nichia 219B?
In a short time, this forum has helped me tremendously in upgrading to warmer LED flashlights that work very well for me. Now I have my old retired friends who have been with me for countless camping and caving trips... just sitting there looking sad in a drawer. They'd still like to help, maybe in an emergency where I somehow end up with only C or D cells. They just want to do it right. They want to make light like the new guys, warm and pretty, reasonably bright and reliable, and hopefully for a decent amount of time on their big ol' alkalines. What are their options?
