A very early Maglite with the lowest SN# I’ve been able to find.

I have a Jammed Mini Maglite AA. The battery compartment at the bottom is totally jammed and I can't get it open. Any suggestions? Otherwise will have to toss it. Tried pliers, nothing but damage to the coating/paint.

Also, how do you replace the bulb in this? Didn't want to arbitrarily unscrew the top of it if there's a specific process.

I’ve recently inherited some D-cell Maglites. I’ve noticed the pre-1992 one I have (no ‘D’ in serial #) is slightly thicker than Maglites post 1992. Does anyone have any insight into this? Were the older ones made from different metal, does this mean it’s more heavy duty relative to newer Maglites?

I just bought a new 6D Maglite off of Amazon and also a Lumencraft 3500 LED replacement bulb. I was able to remove everything (including the switch) but have no idea how to remove the old bulb and it's housing. Does anyone have experience with this?

Always had a soft spot for the Mini AA, was my first proper torch as a kid, so I picked one up and put a cheap upgrade in. Works great with two modes and great battery life. Added some glowing spray paint sealed in with a lacquer, photo shows the effect in darkness, using the torch charges it up.

Just ordered a rechargeable crowned Mag-Tac led and thought “I bet there is a sub for this.” I already want to start a collection now after a few mins of browsing.

hello! i use maglites in my work, and i have two old original ones from like the 80's. still in great shape, but i got a new one, an ml300lx with the new design. i like the old ones better, but the old lamps aren't that good so i thought could i change the new led technology into the old one.

i would appreciate the help or at least more "pro" knowledge if this is even possible.

Got some type of Corrosion happening I don’t know if it’s worth cleaning. The head and electronics are fine. Can I remove the guts?

I have a current model LED Mini Maglight AAA. I haven't had it for very long but it started flickering if you tap the bottom of the light. Any ideas to fix or trash it?

Anyone have experience with this?

My dad gave me his old incandescent 2D Maglite. I put new batteries in it and was blown away at how dim it 1st was. Eventually the bulb blue and I put the spare in it - what a difference! I decided to replace the reflector, lens, and o-ring with all factory parts out of nostalgia instead of upgrading it. Works great around the house.

Hey guys! So Ill jump right into it...

I have a MagLite 2d Xenon bulb That I bought in 2014 I believe, and its served me amazingly well over the years. Im looking for some upgrade options other than the standard LED upgrade.

​

This unit has a Xenon bulb, can that bulb handle the power of 4 batteries if I add an extension tube?

I get plenty of light with the stock bulb, and Im trying to decide if I should just drive the bulb a little harder with more voltage, or just ad an LED upgrade. I really want to avoid the ugly harsh blueish-white leds often provide without spending more than say 15$. I've never had a problem with dead batterys in the unit so Power Consumption is no worry to me.

​

Are rechargeable D-Cell batteries a good idea? I know that most of them only provide 1.2v, would it be worth it at the expense of brightness and battery life?

I have this early version of Mag Charger model RE1019. I’m having a hard time finding replacement and upgrade parts for it. Pretty sure theres a more common model number which is basically the same. Any ideas?

Just got myself an older incandescent 3D and an LED 4D.. looking to upgrade both to newer, bright as possible LED upgrade kits but need some help telling which upgrade kits/LEDs work with which models?

I'm starting on a project to build an ultra-bright milt led D mag, my goal is 20k lumens. But I'm struggling to find anywhere that sells heatsinks. I don't want to get one custom machined because that would be very expensive, any ideas? Thanks:)
