Lit Industries 350 Lumen 2-6 Cell Maglite LED Upgrade Bulb & Lens Kit C & D Model (2-6 Cell Bulb and Lens Kit)

Good LED replacement for an old Maglite with an incandescent bulb.Easy replacement. Remove old bulb and replace with new LED bulb. The included collar seems to be the same as my existing old collar, but I replaced it anyway. I didn't realize that my old lens was so dingy, so I replaced that too with the new lens included in the kit.Big difference for the better. To be honest, the nominal 350 raw lumens in the Maglite is not the brightest flashlight that I have. But it is brighter and whiter than the old incandescent bulb (even though I think I had the 'upgraded' xenon star bulb in there, which is an upgrade in brightness and whiteness over the OEM krypton bulb from Maglite).The kit has changed my old Maglite from a never really used anymore item to something that will get some use now.Some tech details. The LED is definitely whiter and brighter and does draw a little bit less amperage than the old incandescent bulb.Although the package label indicated that the LED was for use in 3-6 cell Maglites, the LED did light up with 3.0 volts from a bench power supply (nominally what 2 alkaline cells would supply). The item listing does say that the LED will work for 2-6 cell Maglites.The light output did seem a little bit reduced compared to the output when driven with a higher voltage (4.5 volts, the same as 3 cells, and 6 volts, the same as 4 cells). The current draw is much higher with a lower supply voltage, but the input power (watts) was pretty constant at ~3.5 to 4 watts. So more cells gives you the same light output but longer run times than less cells.Those measurements also indicate that the LED bulb has some power regulation circuitry inside it and it is more than just an LED in a metal body.On my 4-D Maglite, I measured 0.7 amps with four brand new Energizer Max batteries and 0.67 amps with four rechargeable 1.5v regulated lithium ion D cells. That should result in run times greater than 10 hours with either battery option. Pretty good for an 'old' flashlight. 👍All in all, I like it. Recommended 👍

Products arrived today, 25 Sept 2023. I have installed the new LED in a 3C cell Krypton (circa 1999, I think) bulb and a 2D cell Xenon (2020 version roughly) bulb Maglites. Improved the light intensity dramatically. The LED bulb installs and functions in the 2D cell Maglite, contrary to the packaging statement of it being for 3-6 cell flashlights.The LED installed easily using the existing collar for the 3C cell Maglite but for the 2D cell maglite, which uses the 2 needle-prong Xenon bulbs, you will have to use the new supplied collar as the existing collar’s hole diameter won’t fit the LED bulb. You will also have to take out the white plastic adapter which holds the 2 needle-prong of the bulb. Will be interesting to see how long the LED last.Light intensity, as mentioned, is dramatically increased and even with the batteries low on power, it is still bright to be useable.I did not use the new lenses, as the current lenses on both Maglites are still good to go. Good buy and worth it especially with the supplied collar and spare lens.Delivery was excellent as it arrived 4 days earlier than the targeted day.

Put this in a 2 d cel mag I had just upgraded to a 30 lumen dorcy led. It was brighter but I saw they had mag specific upgrades I had to try. This upgrade was way brighter than dorcy as well as more of a bright white color as opposed to the dorcy which is more of a daylight color but this bulb is not too yellow not too blue. I will now buy two more one for a Coleman flashlight and another for my bmg powerbeam. At the end of the day the bulb works on two to 6 cell flashlights and is standard and I would recommend for any two to 6 cell flashlight you need to be very bright.

Summary:Way better than an old incandescent bulb, but brightness will be less than advertised if you have a smaller 2-3 cell Maglite!Details:If you have rediscovered an old Maglite that still has its original dim/yellow incandescent bulb and somehow hasn't been destroyed by leaking alkaline batteries, this is definitely a worthwhile upgrade!My 2D Maglite already had an older LED bulb rated for 140 lumens, so I bought this to give it a bit more brightness. Unfortunately, the brightness appears to be similar to the old module (100-150 lumens), instead of the advertised 350 lumens. (tested two Litt bulbs, same result)Since this bulb is listed as working with 2-6 cells, I suspect that you need a 6 cell light to get the full advertised brightness (as more cells = more voltage). If that is the case, it would be great if that was stated in the product description.The best 2 cell Maglite upgrade I’ve found so far is sold by Malkoff Devices. They aren’t cheap, but you get what you pay for with build quality and brightness!

I used this LED to replace a "Chinese" LED (junk??) in a 4 "D" cell Maglite (I purchased the Maglite many years ago at Lowes on sale for $10!!). I installed the "Chinese" Led 6 or 7 years ago. The "Chinese" LED was purchased at HD. This is a quality kit and the LED is much brighter than the "Chinese" LED. It is NOT soft white (it is advertised @ 6K Kelvin and I think that is true). This is a quality kit with quality components and it very well packaged and is a very good price IMHO considering the quality). The only problem I had was removing the plastic coating on the lens without scratching the lens. This is a very complete kit with the inclusion of the lens. I moved the "Chinese" LED to another Maglite 4"D" cell Maglite which still had the original bulb. Hate to throw Maglites away. They are such great quality and new ones with LEDs are NOT cheap!! (I have other flashlights that have LED also). Just my 2 CENTS!!

Works like it claims. Not extremely bright to today’s standards. But a great upgrade to a mag lights. Saved me from throwing it away.

These light bulb is made in china, not Germany as the description says. Don't fall for it. The light is brighter than halogen, but dirtier yellowish than the original OEM LED from the factory. I recommend buying the original LED flashlight rather than doing this updgrade.

Perfect drop in fit and operation.

I was sold when I found out the bulbs where made in Germany instead of China, German stuff is made to a higher standard than Chine's stuff. The bulb works really good. Like having a new super bright Mag Light. Also Germany is not supporting a country that is threating us in the Western World with nuclear war.

Love the bulb didn't like the lenz it takes the distance away makes everything close bright i put my clear lenz back in other then that the bulb is awesome much better then stock i still give you full stars maybe try a clear lenz with this bulb

Definately better than before. Batteries should last longer.

Firstly, read the customer reviews. There are some great reviews. I didn't see many that actually show the focused beam spot so you can get a look at the focus and the colour of the LED on a white background. My install was as easy as expected. The replacement collar is not necessary, but a nice addition as a spare. It is about the same quality as the original. The lens came nicely protected with those peel off watermarked plexiglass usual shipping protectors that keep it from scuffs. If you need a new lens, this very much is a great compbo for the price. I say, if you plan on getting a lens separately, don't, get this kit with LED. Yes, it is bright and i did a subjective comparison from my 14th floor balcony to the field. It lights up objects at a good distance. As another review states, it does not make your incandescent 3D maglite the same as the 2DL Maglite. My original 2D is super white, and super bright. However, if you have some older Maglite C and D's with this style of bulb, it brings a whole new life into them and puts it back in the favourite flashlight spot. Speaking of spot, this spot actually focuses to a nice tight, symmetrical spot as you can see in the picture. I bought my first cheaper bulb, and its output is the same, but the spot wasn't symmetrical as this one is. I have but one complaint. Just one. The light is not pure white. A cheaper LED was purchased and it too has this greenish hue to it. I am not sure if it is the type of LED module used, but they are not at all pure white. The standard LED in the Maglite DL (2cell) is ultra white and bright put side by side. This has a "unnatural hue" as some reviews describe. I bought this because the brand name is well known. I was disappointed in just that one thing: It's not pure white. However, if you have nothing to compare it to, you likely won't notice, and the quality and value are great with this product. IF you have many LED flashlights, you will see right away this hue. Interesting, if you look at the bulb turned on from the side in the light without the housing, you see that hue, but if you have the Maglite head off and cast the light onto a wall it is pure white. It seems to get the hue when focused to a spot, and when the spotlight is opened up, the hue starts to disappear. Regardless, good value to bring back an old friend, especially as it includes the lens .

I bought one of these to revitalize my maglite. I liked it so much i bought a second one and put in another maglite i had kicking around. I gave it to my son for xmas. Its a great way to repurpose something thats probably collecting dust.
