Mini Maglite AA LED 1 watt Upgrade Bulb, Torch Conversion, UpLED

east to install and much brighter then the standard bulb. maglite needs to start doing this as standard. i loved that torch but word of advice, take the batteries out before storing for long periods of time, my battery leaked and ruined the torch. the bulb was great though

I was always disappointed with the light output and colour rendition from my Maglite, it never seemed bright enough and the illumination was always a shade of yellow. However, after conversion, my Maglite is now my favourite go to inspection torch. To fit the LED upgrade is easy: I used long nosed pliers with soft jaws to remove the old bulb and fit the new LED unit. It took a matter of seconds to convert. My Maglite now produces a bright, white light. As it is only 1w then battery life is bound to improve. Value for money? Previously, a £30 Maglite very rarely used, at the back of the drawer; now, with the £10.95 conversion, it sits on my desk ready for immediate use. It may seem expensive, but it's worth it for the superior performance I now have from my Maglite. Not a Maglite conversion kit, so it will void any Maglite warranty; but why didn't Maglite come up with this? It is an ingenious upgrade.

This replacement LED is much brighter than the original bulb (I think it's 1 watt), but not as bright as other LED torches I have. It's still worth the cost, although it's about 50% of the price of a new Maglite. The replacement fits perfectly, although it then requires fewer turns to switch on the torch - no big deal. Remember that LEDs have polarity, so if it doesn't work, pull it out and turn it round before plugging in again. Can't comment on battery life because I've not had it long enough, but LEDs typically take much less power. Update: batteries seem to last ages, without any fading. A brilliant purchase!

Ok, well I was hesitant but decided to purchase. It arrived in quick time, well packaged. It is a complete upgrade so required some fiddling but the instructions are clear and the job simple. I am not sure it was machined to the right dimension for the recess beneath so it sits up on the original black plastic bulb carrier a little. This necessitates the outer lens carrier to be screwed out slightly further. In practice this does not appear be be any great problem it seems, other than the fact that it no longer fits in the box comfortably. However, the main thing is the light produced which is really very good indeed. Very bright, clear white light with real intensity. If it lasts as long as advertised then this will be the making of the torch and definitely worth the small cost involved. Highly recommended.

An amazing upgrade to my Mini Maglite. Simple to fit and takes less than a minute to upgrade the original bulb with the LED. Astonishingly bright, don't stare into the light! Less energy wasted as heat means the bulb is far brighter than the original incandescent bulb. You can still focus the light beam and of course the brighter beam shines much further. This is a must have upgrade for your MagLight.

My old halogen bulb was struggling on the batteries that had been sat inside my mini maglite unsed for 10 years or so, and the batteries need changing. On a whim, I decided to upgrade the bulb to an led one instead and I am glad I did. The led bulb is giving out a far far brighter light beam on the same old tired batteries, meaning that the new bulb has increased the battery life by some margin. I would like to say that my mini maglight was used for years at work, covered in fuel and oil, used as a hammer and generally abused, and is still going strong, awesome bits of kit. Update: I just got some amazon basics AA batteries, and with new batteries I made the mistake of looking at the bulb as I turned it on. It's brightness took me by surprise. The led upgrade is well worth doing to a mini maglite!

I used this kit to replace an old-style bulb on my 25 year old Mini Maglite. It fitted very easily and seems to work perfectly. The improvement in brightness compared to the original bulb is amazing. I would say it's definitely worth upgrading (rather than ditching your old Maglite in favour of a new LED one!).

I was about to bin my 15 year old mini maglight as the light output was appalling when compared to modern offerings, and found this led upgrade for less than half the price of a new led torch. Wow, it really is brilliant, and has transformed the torch. It took 15 seconds to install and has a really bright, white light and is completely incomparable to what it was before, it's absolutely fantastic. I also think the focusing is improved, much quicker.

Super easy to install (but be sure that you don't accidentally try removing the black plastic part in the Maglite that says "do not remove"), really very bright, does maintain the original focus feature and (although I have not used it long enough to know) I suppose has much better battery life.

Fist my mini Maglite (2AA) like a glove. Produces a whole lot of lght. Makes the Maglite more then usable again.

This LED upgrade is an amazing improvement over the original bulb. Super simple to install a huge noticeable difference in brightness. Need to do this to all Maglite’s.

fits better and is easier installed than the original bulb. it is also much brighter. possible to adapt the light from flooded to spot light.

I don't have anything in the same range to compare with, and reflector size matters for brightness as well as output. Definitely brighter and whiter than the factory krypton bulb. Easy to install. Reliable.
