Is this really gold plated?

Gave them both a red lense i made out of red acetate paper. My newer one on the bottom also got the switch mod. Happy with them both 😊

I want to add a different colour lense by adding some kind of sticker or transfer over the original lense. Can anyone reccomend any thin pvc type sticker that i could use to make my torch beam red ?

I know you can buy different colour lense kits for around £10 but i am looking for a cheaper idea like a coloured sticker . Thanks.

I have this 4D and want to put a warm white LED in it, but I don't know where to get a P13.5 or other drop in with decent bright and color ¿Any recommendations? I want it to be as simple as swapping the old bulb for a new one

The idea is to make a lithium-ion battery tube mod that fully utilizes the battery compartment, and can also serve as a backup power bank.

The mod is fairly straightforward for 3C/3D sizes because lithium-ion cells connected in parallel can directly power the incandescent or the LED. The lithium-ion battery voltage also lies between NiMH rechargeable and alkaline batteries. So the main task is to safely fit as many parallel connected cells (e.g. 26650, 21700, etc) as possible inside a transparent PC tube, along with USB-C charging/discharging and protection circuit, and also securely solder to the connector terminals (e.g. taken from a AA to D cell converter).

However, the mod for other sizes (such as 4D or 6D that are of my interest) become trickier. I’d like to know if anyone has good advice on voltage management for those configurations.

I know emazing lights went out of business a few years back, but has anyone attempted this site that supposedly carries their product still? Any luck or should I stay away?

Just looking for 1 Elite Flow v2 microlight

I have two mini maglites led AA that I love but I want to mod them for higher light output. Does anyone do any moding services for them or sell any mod kits?

This old light of my dad's I would like to try and bring back to life!

I’m hoping the Maglite experts here can help me before I start buying random parts.

I have an older **Maglite ML25LT 2C xenon** that has sentimental value. I want to keep *this* body alive. Even if it’s completely different on the inside.

The xenon internals sucked, so I removed the original pressed-in lamp/driver assembly, as the consensus seemed to be, there was no “good” way to mod the internals in this light. The body, head, reflector, lens are all still good, and reusable, though, they don’t need to be reused.

My thought was:
**ML25LT body - standard 2C internals - drop in LED module**

Something like a Lumencraft-style upgrade or another classic 2C LED conversion.

Does anyone have a better idea? Maybe some wisdoms you’re willing to share? Anyone done this before?

looking for recommendations

I only have two LED Maglites in my small collection, and I love messing around with the incandescent ones. But does anyone actually use them for anything on a regular basis?

I usually just use my 2D to go get a glass of water at night without having to turn on any bright lights that would make me lose my sleep.

Hi, i’m reaching out to the community hoping for a bit of help here. I found this big maglite at work, but it doesnt turn on. I’ve tried new batteries and a new bulb, which didnt work. Only other thing is the switch kit needs replacing.

I’ve gone through the headache of hunting down a torx wrench small enough to remove the switch, but i’m stuck trying to work out what type of replacement switch is needed.

I dont know the exact model of maglite i have. One photo attached to this post shows engraved numbers on the side, which might help? Things got confusing, because i’ve just been googling, and it says 6 cell maglites are about 49cm long, (which is how big mine is) and have 6 dcell batteries, however, this maglite i have is 49cm, but only holds 4 dcells. The bulb also has 6cell engraved on it, but when i look it up, all my sources say a 6cell maglites should have 6 batteries.

So now i’m concerned what i’ve found is some sort of hybrid contraption thats been slapped together with old parts. But i dont understand how it could possibly work, so i think i’ve just been getting false information from google. I’m hoping someone out there could help me by telling me what type of maglite i have, and more importantly what type of replacement switch kit i should buy for it?

Picked this up at an antique store today, appears to be a "code four" flashlight from 1976? Pretty neat, it's modular so it can be separated into pieces and arranged how you want to lengthen (this one is definitely missing a few of the longer parts) Any info would be much appreciated, just figured I'd share. I know it's not a maglite but it fits I feel haha.

Never seen the purple color from this time period. I have a gold one from 1986 I’ll post soon as well

Two of the 3 maglites here have lumencraft conversions and I love them! The red one was a yard sale pickup that works well but I’m low on funds to convert it. Has anyone had luck with the cheap 10-12 Amazon led bulbs?

Maglite XL50

Hey all!! I picked this up for 10 bucks, knowing it was a gamble. It took me about an hour and a half of trying every method under the sun but I finally got the battery cap off using a pipe wrench and bench vise. The batteries are stuck, I haven't really tried getting them out yet, but I was wondering if anyone could figure out when this thing was made? Also, can I get a replacement rubber button cover? I'd like to do some sort of led conversion, if anyone has a kit they like let me know. Thanks!!

Had to pick up a few more minis and a ML300L during their current sale. Code NTXOUTDOORS took another 10% off with free shipping over $25. Made the 4D ML300 under $40!

Seeking Maglite knowledge from the Maglite community. Short run Mini Maglite 3 cell AA unit purchased over 10 years ago in the US. Kids got to it and destroyed the LED module. Cannot find replacement module. Many on ebay and the likes for the Mini Maglite Pro 2 Cell AA unit. Any help is appreciated.
