I don't think I've ever done this before but here goes. I think your videos are some of the best, most concise, informative and well presented videos I've seen. They are always a pleasure to watch. Your parts and kits are extremely well engineered, the best I've seen and I have a LOT of lights in my collection, including a couple of yours. Maglite should license and sell your products. There, the most complementary comment I've ever left and I stand by it.
Matt, thanks for this video. As simple as it seemed when I got my replacement...LED 1000 LUMIN for a Maglite. if you do not know what to do, it is never as simple as it seems or rather as people say. I had the incandescent bulb retaining collar and didn't know what to do with it... yeah, now I know it wasn't needed once the old bulb was removed. Cheers again.
Love your product! Because of you I left my very 1st maglite stock as an OEM, end up buying two new maglite. Planning on converting them both to a higher output flashlight with your upgrade kits.
Been keeping up with your channel for a while. Love the information and love vicariously nerding out on lights through your content. I just caved and bought the Imalent ms18! It's so amazing! Alas I live in a very humid climate and the light is so bright the humidity obscures things I'm trying to see at a distance. But even with that I'm blow away every time I kick it on!
Now I get it....sorta. Can you come over and help me with my tons of lights? I live on The Gig Island in Hawaii. We can go in a lava tibe when we get my lights figured out. I don't have electricity since my tenants stopped paying rent, I need some quick and easy and inexpensive tricks to light up my nights. I have a four D battery and a 5D battery Maglite, the rest are Chinese cheapos. I use my solar light stakes from the yard in my house and as a flashlight if £I gotta go looking around at night.Thank you for sharing your info. Do you have a favorite underwater light?
So- @lumencraft I'm testing the 3500 lumen upgrade on a 2d maglite with 6x tenergy premium pro AAs 2800mah in series delivering 7.2 volts and so far its running over an hour on the brightest setting and still going. im impressed.
Anyone who’s here lurking for upgrade info on the old mag light upgrade is prob a flashlight fan or for nostalgic reasons. ❤this video. U can prob sand blast the inside of the end cap contact surface while while saving outside anodize by masking tape off.
It's nice to have you back. Your personality is fun. It allows you to do many things. Heck, I would watch even if you did a video of a trip to the grocery store.
012322/0303h PST 🇺🇸. Mat, good morning and thank you. As promised, you delivered the instructions on how to incorporate 800L emitter on type C MAGLITE. I was waiting for over 6 plus months for that design to come by. I am placing order for one 800Lm drop-in emitter for type C (21700 Li-Ion) and one 800Lm for 1D cell MAGLITE, that you modified, with 21700 li-Ion Cell. FYI 21700 works well with no noticeable loss in Lm. Thanks and appreciate your educational video. Stay safe and good Lux. 73s…
I wish there was a silicone slip-on grip for maglite. Idk maybe there is such a thing. But they get cold in the winter, and a better grip in the summer would be appreciated.
i have a rather old 5x D cell Maglight. i wonder if there is a replacement LED for the standard bulb for it. i love this old flashlight and it has never failed to work for me even though it mostly just sits around and doesn't get used often. (as a bonus its beefy and heavy enough that it can be used as a club if need be)
Old video I know but is it possible to do a major led upgrade to a factory led maglite? I have one and it's junk, my 3 x aaa cell pocket light is brighter! I keep seeing comments that indicate that you can only do the high performance upgrades to the old incandescent lights?
got good old maglite 3 d cell, my father used it in yugoslavian war 91-99, im just wondering if i can put any kind of led bulb, or do i need to use bulb that is dedicated to maglite.
I just bought and installed the 800 lumen firefly in my 4 D Maglite. I had I think its like a 3 watt LED or Cree bulb? I bought about 10 years ago. Batteries are not new. Why is the 800 firefly barely brighter than my old bulb??

Hello. What about using the lithium 1.5v or nimh d cell 1.2v ,6 of them for the 6d for the 3500 or the 5000 drop in. Wouldn’t that bypass the need for the sleeves and dummy d’s?
Please someone help me out, I have the older magcharger and i want to buy the 800 lumen led light. Does someone recommend these or share experiences pls
I’ve got a “6er” that I want to deck out. It’s been sitting in a closet with no batteries for about 10 years. I found it in the road one night after a late shift.
Do you have an idea of what exactly would happen if you use 8D batteries in a 6D rated bulb ? If I'm not using the light all the time for very long periods of time, could it really be that big of a problem ? I'm fine not using this extension I've ordered, but I sure would love to have a cool extra long 8D maglite.
Hey boss, I’m in law enforcement and still use my streamlight sl20x halogen. Terralux use to make a drop in 600 lumen led conversion but no longer make it. There is little to no info on the interwebs on how to make a powerful and efficient conversion with the sl20x chassis. I love this light and it’s been with me for years. Can’t you make do a build on this? I’m sure there are others out there like me.
Super helpful! I'm needing the recharge upgrade, any idea where a charger is for it? How about buying a new switch for my old model so I can have the modes? I got this light in the Navy back in 2007 and can't turn loose of it.
That light might be a bit too old for the 5000. You can know for sure if it will fit by measuring the head. Like this ua-cam.com/video/UOspTPig3N8/v-deo.html
At least with the lights ive encountered the maglights with the deeper head had the old style switch which use a threaded retaining ring and a allen head screw and come out the top of the light vs coming out the tail end and have a snap ring and torx set screw holding it in place. These 2 lights were a 4 c cell from 94, 3 d cell from 93 (also had thicker body). The rest of my mags are d cells from 97 98 99 and 2016 amd those are 2 2d cells,one 3 cell and a 6 cell long boi. Cant say thats the way they all are but thats the way mine are. All the dates were confirmed manufacturers date from emailing maglight my serial numbers as i bought most of these 2nd hand since they are older than i am.
Just to make sure I understand. I have a 6D cell Maglite. I bought a 2000 lumens bulb (but it's not one of yours). If using Lithium batteries, I should use 1x26650 battery? How can that be more actual burntime, compared to 6 D cell batteries? Great video, thank you very much.
@@rifraf1970 "IF" the ells in that pack are truly 4400ma then that pack would also have a higher capacity than the 3500ma pack I linked. That would mean you got more runtime out of it. They possibly could be, or they could be the same cells just marked as higher, or lower capacity cells marked that way. I purchased sets of regular D cell NIMH batteries and both sets claimed 10,000ma. One set of cells were truly 10k capacity, the other set fell flat on its face and was only like 6000ma or so...
Hey Matt, I have this 10 year old Mag Charger RE1019. Can’t seem to find anything about it online. Any ideas on which of those led upgrades fit my model?
For those who're interested, I did eventually find a single led 800 lumen kit by lumencraft that fits(Mike didn't bother to answer me but oh well), but it is definitely not worth the money (around $60). The build quality is not bad, but the beam pattern it produces on the other hand is pretty much garbage. The reflector produces a very rough hotspot with a huge bleed around it and you can't adjust that. The hotspot is not a perfect circle either. It's a mess. So overall for $60 it is definitely not worth it. You can buy far superior high quality flashlights the price. Also the reflective surface is just a mirror polished aluminum without ceramic coating. It get's scratched even with microfiber cloth.
To use the 2000 in a 6D you would need to put 3x Dummy D cells in the body to get the voltage down. Probly better to use either the 800 lumen or the 5000.
@@Lumencraft- Matt, i have an old style 3 d cell. How many lumens could i expect from the 800 lumen upgrade. I am going off that leds are voltage and amperage sensitive i suppose. And would regular alkaline for a total of 3 work with the 800
@@frankcrawford416 You would get pretty close to full output on 3 cells with the 800 lumen, I would say worst case in al old light with possibly worn contacts using alkaline cells etc you should expect 650+.
Really informative videos Matt. I have a Maglite 2D LED and just want more output. I noticed that most of your products are for switching from incandescent to LED but what would you recommend (bulbs and batteries) for someone like me who already has LED? Thanks in advance.
It may be hard to squak out the vids but we appreciate every single upload, you are the best lightuber on UA-cam and we have missed your regular vids! Hope you will be back soon with more reviews.
Bonjour à tous je possède la même torche de la même marque en 3 piles j'aimerais faire la conversion en LED que me conseillez-vous s'il vous plaît merci à tous pour vos réponses
Love these videos- keep em coming! I have a 20+ yr old 2 cell C Mag, looking to upgrade the 30 lumen LED in there now to the 370 you recommended. I can only find the 325 in your links, which is fine but will I get the full 325? Can I use li-ion? I can't find an extension- kinda bummed!
I think being above 1000 lumens is way over board that the maglite ml300l can throw up to 406 meters being 625 lumes and the warrior x turbo is 1000 lumes and it can throw up to 1000 meters and that the reflector is longer but 1000 lumens is to bright for close up things and it is all just for the bright light enthusiast because I tried a 700 lumen 3 c cell flashlight at night and it worked perfectly fine with enough light that I can see all around and I have the seeker 3 but I hardly use it because 4000 lumens makes to much heat and drain the battery way faster when a 1000 lumen or below flashlight can run cooler and longer like the maglite l300l on d batteries
Bought one of the 5000 lumen flashlights for my dad in silver. Looks and performance is awesome. It reminds me of the old lost in space show, combining the old and futuristic. Do the 26650 batteries work with the C cell Maglite?
Hi mate I got your 3500 lumens upgrade for the incandescent Maglite. I'm in the UK so it took a while to deliver here but it was well worth the wait! I'm using it in a 6D Maglite but one day I want to use it in my 2D Maglite with the battery conversion. You *shouldn't* use it in the 2D Maglite with normal D batteries, correct? By the way I couldn't find your 5000 lumen version. Is it no longer being manufactured? Not that 3500 is too dim haha
I watched this twice, I still don’t know! I have 2D batteries Maglite, I would like to upgrade it to LED bulb, without all the attachments, just a bulb, what do I have to get? from where? I do not need all this thousands of lumens, WHAT BULB DO I NEED, PLEASE!
this is an unrelated question to the video.. but my cousin has a really great predator hunting flashlight that i was wondering if you could do a review on the new version of... wicked lights predator w-402z is the one he has. it has a fixed emitter. the new lights come with green white and red and some with infared with a selection switch. the old w-402zf model is extremely powerfull can you run a test on the new one? @Matt Smith
I would like to see more on the magcharger upgrades. I have both versions, the "D cell" body and the new "C cell" body M150 Lights and upgrades would be nice.
Hello M.S., how long did it take for you to learn all this lux??? Hey, it's all Greek to me, ha!!! Thanks, be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
I have the 5000-lumen head that I have installed on a 6-C Maglite. I tried it with alkaline batteries and laughed at the results, it really was funny how fast they dropped off. Since I have switched to using 18650s instead of Cs, I made several adapters that convert from 3 Cs to 1 18650. My 6 cell light works fine with 2 of these but I can do better. I will be making a 6-C adapter that will use 4 185650s in 2 parallel circuits. That's 7.2 volts, 7 Amp capacity, with a 10 AMP discharge rate using my current 3500mAh HDC batteries. I'm curious to see what my actual burn time will be with this setup.

I got your 3500 lumens upgrade for the incandescent Maglite.
I'm in the UK so it took a while to deliver here but it was well worth the wait! I'm using it in a 6D Maglite but one day I want to use it in my 2D Maglite with the battery conversion. You *shouldn't* use it in the 2D Maglite with normal D batteries, correct?
By the way I couldn't find your 5000 lumen version. Is it no longer being manufactured? Not that 3500 is too dim haha
did you manage to get the 5000lm?
Nice video good info
So there is no 5000 lumen kit for a rechargeable maglite?
The brightest I have for rechargable mag is 800 lumen.
Where did you get that extremely long maglite from? That thing is awesome!
You can buy Maglite extension tubes from Ebay.
What Jaakko said, I sell 2D extensions from my shop and amazon/ebay.
So so many questions and comments but so few answers and replies !!!
I watched this twice, I still don’t know! I have 2D batteries Maglite, I would like to upgrade it to LED bulb, without all the attachments, just a bulb, what do I have to get? from where? I do not need all this thousands of lumens, WHAT BULB DO I NEED, PLEASE!
this is an unrelated question to the video.. but my cousin has a really great predator hunting flashlight that i was wondering if you could do a review on the new version of... wicked lights predator w-402z is the one he has. it has a fixed emitter. the new lights come with green white and red and some with infared with a selection switch. the old w-402zf model is extremely powerfull can you run a test on the new one? @Matt Smith
Enjoy your video
Where the hell did you get that 500 D cell Maglite?😂
I would like to see more on the magcharger upgrades.
I have both versions, the "D cell" body and the new "C cell" body M150 Lights and upgrades would be nice.
Hello M.S., how long did it take for you to learn all this lux??? Hey, it's all Greek to me, ha!!! Thanks, be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
I can’t find the 5000 lumens replacement up grade kit? Are you under a new website?
He has a shop on eBay... 🤔
I have the 5000-lumen head that I have installed on a 6-C Maglite. I tried it with alkaline batteries and laughed at the results, it really was funny how fast they dropped off. Since I have switched to using 18650s instead of Cs, I made several adapters that convert from 3 Cs to 1 18650. My 6 cell light works fine with 2 of these but I can do better. I will be making a 6-C adapter that will use 4 185650s in 2 parallel circuits. That's 7.2 volts, 7 Amp capacity, with a 10 AMP discharge rate using my current 3500mAh HDC batteries. I'm curious to see what my actual burn time will be with this setup.
Do D cells fit into Mag Charger? My cradle simply died so I cant recharge anymore, mine is halogen so I wonder if I could use Alkaline batteries
Forgot your o-rings homey
