Lumencraft LED Conversion Kit Compatible/Replacement Bulb fits MagCharger Flashlight Rechargable Maglite - 800 Lumen Output

The bulb works well and definitely increases the output and efficiency of the light, however the lens cap does not seat all the way on the bezel which is annoying. I have sent 2 messages to Lumencraft customer service and have not received a reply. They have a video that shows some models have removable rings to aid with fit, however mine does not. **update** Their customer service pointed out that I still had a plastic lens protector in the light that it ships with to protect the lens inside the bezel! It’s been there 15 years and I never knew it. Easily removed it and the bulb fits perfect and the lens cap seats correctly. Great product that breathed new life into my trusted old workhorse.

Easy five stars for this LED upgrade of my 30+ year-old rechargeable Mag. 60 second installation, and the beam is blinding--three times brighter than the day I bought the light. The beam width is no longer adjustable, but it is a worthwhile tradeoff to get this light back in working order.

I had two older incandescent rechargeable Maglites and was about to trash them for newer LED flashlights when I found this kit. Thank goodness, this drops right in and it's like a new flashlight. This thing is really bright at least 20 times and the beam goes about 250 yards plus now where the old one hardly went two hundred feet. Money well spent.

I own 3 MagChargers from the 1980's. I always considered them to be the best lights on the market, period. But then LED lights came along with their superior battery life, the convenience and compact nature of AA or AAA battery packs, and the old MagChargers got left in a drawer as the batteries got old and weak. Recently I bought a 5000 Lumen light from Costco, and it was just crazy bright. I secretly longed to get the old MagChargers back in service, something about the light sitting in the charger, always ready, just had an appeal. But having a basically disposable light that was brighter than the old Mag just made more practical sense. I'd been casually looking to see if anyone had a drop in LED for the MagCharger, and finally saw this unit and bought it. Holy smokes! Insanely bright! The dimmer picture is the 5,000 lumen Costco light, the brighter picture is my old MagCharger. You decide. Now, granted, the Costco light has a much wider spread, and the old MagCharger no longer has an adjustable beam. The Costco light probably is putting out more light into the world, but the tight focused beam of my old Mag is just silly and WAY brighter. I'm going to get new batteries and LED cartridges for my other MagChargers and look forward to putting them back into service!

Quality product, easy and quick installation

I had an older generation LED upgrade in my magcharger flashlight that was just ok. I decided to give this upgrade a try to get a brighter beam with a longer throw. The kit was trickier to install compared with my old one which had the pins exposed to line up in the socket. This kit has a shroud around the pins with machined cutouts to engage the focusing cams in the flashlight head. The pins have to be lined up perfectly for the bulb to plug in or an irreparable damage to the bulb could occur. I installed the kit after a few attempts and tried it in the field at night. The beam offers a tight, super white focus. I guess it’s good for search and rescue but I would prefer a warmer light with a little more flood around the center. I would’ve kept the bulb it weren’t for the annoying dark ring around the focused center. I reached out to the seller and they provided me with a film to filter out the dark ring. The film turned the flashlight into a floodlight without a pronounced center beam at the expense of throw distance. I never got an explicit answer from the seller if I had a bad bulb or they were all afflicted with the same problem. I would’ve gladly tried a different one but not having confidence if another one would be any better, I opted to return it for a refund.

I don’t get why some people here expect miracles from this upgrade and then complain about it, but trust me, there is no need to chase candelas and lumens. This upgrade will be more than enough for 99.9% of situations. If you have an old incandescent mag charger laying around this is a worthy upgrade. It is well made and just works. You won’t get 800 lumens(minus 1 star) but something around 700~ which is still very bright. Plus your battery life triples.. My only other complaint is that you lose the focusing functionality with this upgrade.

Installed it and the change is sickening. Super bright! You can no longer focus the beam though, but the level of brightness is awesome. Will try it out tonight.
