Re: Mag LED Flashlights

 Bought a couple of aftermarket LED adapters to fit the AA Maglights
last week. Ten bucks each. They have three LEDs and a cylindrical
(mostly useless) reflector. I converted one of my Mags and it works
fine but the focusing feature is gone, of course. We use Maglights as
aircraft inspectors and we go through a heap of batteries and bulbs.
Got to keep really fresh batteries in them since the lights dim as the
batteries age, and new bulbs occasionally; the bulbs usually turn black
long before they burn out. We will see how these LED adapters work out.
