Reviews & Ratings for Lightstar MiniStar30M-EX LED Multi-Mode Upgrade for Maglite (4-6 D Cells ONLY) — 2 reviews — Page 1

Nice upgrade which replaces the existing reflector and bulb. The (6)D-Cell Maglite and MiniStar30M-EX LED Upgrade arrived together via UPS. Since my girlfriend was out of the house there was no one here to read the directions as I stayed true to my gender and disregarded them, preferring instead to rely on my innate proficiency with all things mechanical to replace the existing lamp with the LED module. After initial attempts failed, I tried texting my girlfriend to see when she would be home but it wouldn't be for a while so with nobody around to read the directions I continued to putz with it. Eventually I realized that the LED module SCREWS onto the maglite base (it doesn't just drop in there like the original lamp). Then it worked great. When my sweetie gets home she will be pleased to have a bright light and a fine impact weapon to carry in her SUV. She'll be safer when she rolls and I'll get a big smooch. NOTE: Would also make a great valentine's day gift along with a box of chocolates or a handgun.
Pros: Brighter light, longer battery life, breathes new life into beloved Maglites
Cons: Price, still utilizes "old school" (D-cell) technology batteries instead of new Lithium-Ion

The LED upgrade for the Maglight worked very well and I am quite satisfied with it. The upgrade required that I remove and toss away the old bulb and reflector. Not a problem, but I can't throw anything out... ;^)
Pros: high light output, excellent features
Cons: what do I do with the old bulb?
