David Meiland Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Is it worth buying conversion kits for Maglites, or should I just put them in the museum? I have 3 - 2AA minis, a 2D and a 3D. They are not going to get used as incandescent flashlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Jones Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I initially went from Maglite to Surefire(nice difference) and then went from the Surefire to Olight, the difference is amazing. Only thing that sucks is the battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 For a single 18650 light, get the Olight M20 Warrior; idiotic name, but the best single battery light. 100-320 lumens adjustable. Great battery life, bright enough for anything, but I've joined the brighter is better club, so...... For a double 18650, the Fenix TK35; 120-820 lumens adjustable; crazy bright. Can the maglights; I'll give you all of mine. Not worth salvaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Jones Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have the Olight Triton M30, with a smaller Fenix as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Kienitz Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks to Kurt I am now packing the Olight M20 along with my Fenix TK11 and TK15. Two Streamlights are sitting on my desk and haven't been used in over a year. I think I'm pretty well "lit up". [:-bigeyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, as of this month, I've had a Stinger LED HP for 2 years. I haven't experienced an issue with it yet, the battery has gone dead but twice and it goes beyond anything I've ever needed from it. Fantastic flashlight.

Jim Baird Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Since I got a rechargeable lite along with a cordless drill I just carry the Mag in my back pocket as a backup, since the recharger can go dead suddenly. I like the recharger as it stands on its battery butt and ratchets up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Back to the OP, David, I don't know about the minis, but I had an LED bulb in my regular double D-cell Mag for years and it provided, as far as I'm concerned, all the light necessary to do the job right. I've never needed to create sunlight where sunlight isn't needed. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
