First of all, expand the reflector... I used a cutter but I think drilling is better.

Then buy a Maglite 2-Cell C&D Xenon bi-pin bulb.


You have to bend the metal pins and put it in...


So now it is much brighter than the AA bi-pin bulb (0.3A v.s. 0.8A) and it will not damage the plastic reflector and lens.
Do not use 5 cell or 6 cell bulbs with 14500 li-ion or LFP batteries, that will melt everything...

Cool.

Thanks!!

I have Bright Star mini mag clone that uses a T1 bi-pin.

ie the globe is way more round so I'll see if a C/D 2 cell bulb will fit before cutting a minimag reflector.
