LED Conversion Kit Compatible/Replacement Bulb fits MagCharger Flashlight Rechargable Maglite - 800 Lumen Output

Easy five stars for this LED upgrade of my 30+ year-old rechargeable Mag. 60 second installation, and the beam is blinding--three times brighter than the day I bought the light. The beam width is no longer adjustable, but it is a worthwhile tradeoff to get this light back in working order.

Installed it and the change is sickening. Super bright! You can no longer focus the beam though, but the level of brightness is awesome. Will try it out tonight.

Quality product, easy and quick installation

So bright you can't look directly at it. My old halogen Mag lite lives on. I miss the twist to focus ability of the old Mag. I'll make that sacrifice to keep it running,

I had an older generation LED upgrade in my magcharger flashlight that was just ok. I decided to give this upgrade a try to get a brighter beam with a longer throw. The kit was trickier to install compared with my old one which had the pins exposed to line up in the socket. This kit has a shroud around the pins with machined cutouts to engage the focusing cams in the flashlight head. The pins have to be lined up perfectly for the bulb to plug in or an irreparable damage to the bulb could occur. I installed the kit after a few attempts and tried it in the field at night. The beam offers a tight, super white focus. I guess it’s good for search and rescue but I would prefer a warmer light with a little more flood around the center. I would’ve kept the bulb it weren’t for the annoying dark ring around the focused center. I reached out to the seller and they provided me with a film to filter out the dark ring. The film turned the flashlight into a floodlight without a pronounced center beam at the expense of throw distance. I never got an explicit answer from the seller if I had a bad bulb or they were all afflicted with the same problem. I would’ve gladly tried a different one but not having confidence if another one would be any better, I opted to return it for a refund.

I had two older incandescent rechargeable Maglites and was about to trash them for newer LED flashlights when I found this kit. Thank goodness, this drops right in and it's like a new flashlight. This thing is really bright at least 20 times and the beam goes about 250 yards plus now where the old one hardly went two hundred feet. Money well spent.

I don’t get why some people here expect miracles from this upgrade and then complain about it, but trust me, there is no need to chase candelas and lumens. This upgrade will be more than enough for 99.9% of situations. If you have an old incandescent mag charger laying around this is a worthy upgrade. It is well made and just works. You won’t get 800 lumens(minus 1 star) but something around 700~ which is still very bright. Plus your battery life triples.. My only other complaint is that you lose the focusing functionality with this upgrade.

So happy I found this upgrade for my 20yr old magcharger. I had it installed in less than five minutes, fits and functions perfectly. I recommend watching the how to install video even though it’s a straight forward process.
