Nite Ize L.E.D. Combo Upgrade Kit II - 30 Lumens - For Use with AA Mini Maglite Flashlights (LUC2-07)

I bought two or three of these units about two years ago to upgrade various mini-mags I use. One is for work around the house. This unit works but you do lose the ability to focus the beam at a distance. Just under one full turn of the head and it comes loose or off. The bulb unit is larger or taller so this is the reason you lose the ability for ...Read MoreRead more about I bought two or three of these units

Pull the bulb out, rotate it 180 degrees, plug it back in and viola, it works again! I don't remember ever having this issue when replacing OEM bulbs so I'm not sure what's different here. The switch has held up well and I like having two means of turning the light on. With both in the off position I don't have to worry about the flashlight accidentally turning on when rolling around in a soft or hard toolbox and running the batteries out. After years of use some of the heads can become loose and turn very easily even if replacing the rubber gasket. So having two power switches is a good thing in my eyes. Finally, for some reason, I've had one bulb just die. This is one of my first LEDs to die and I am surprised but at least it lasted about two years and that is better than some of the OEM bulbs that I punished and burned out in about 6 months. I would recommend this to a friend but with caution as I don't think this will fit everyone's desired uses. Read LessRead less about I bought two or three of these units

LED replacement is good for an old light. Instructions for lamp upgrade to led are poor. Push button switch is not worth getting as front must be rotated to correct spot not too loose or tight. I tried it, tossed push button.
