Huh. ALL torches are 3D. Show me a 2D one.

You can get them but they're not very good. They give a very flat light.

I've dealt with XS Stock before and had no problems.

Wow

You must need a wheel-barrow to carry around a 6D Torch.

Must check out costco - think I've got a card somewhere, but don't they also charge you VAT?

Plus you need to get there!

Nice to get it delivered next day from the comfort of your armchair!

True, but a 6D held by the bulb end gives you a very nice edge in a dodgy situation !

I 've done a search for led upgrade bulb and found one for £9.70 on ebay express http://item.express.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ExpressItem&item=230049537219&FROM_MERCHANDISING=1 which looks promising.

Got mine this morning! Cheers OP

I did some reading and using an LED in these torches gives a regulated light output for abit longer than the standard bulb which drops off steadily.

Hi-ho, hi-ho, off to ebay I go!

Used the same one myself! Couldn't turn down the free delivery There was another seller with the bulb at the £5.50 mark but fancied the recorded delivery from this seller who looked more legit.

Has anyone got this yet? I was gonna buy but i've had a look at the Nite Ize site and found that the bulb in question is a standard 10mm white led in a bulb casing. Is it any good?

They have to use the old casing,or else it wont fit into the actual holder

The official Maglite LED upgrade is a standard bulb shaped unit with an LED too and a basic bit of circuitry. This allows for simple drop in upgrade.

I went for this as Nite Ize make quite a few accessories for the Maglite and didn't fancy paying over £20 for the official LED upgrade

[EDIT] Here is a review of the official Maglite LED/ LED Torch along with a picture of the bulb http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/maglite_mag-led.htm

Ohhhhhh Dear - I'm aware of that, I did study Electronic and Electrical engineering for 2 years! lol

No, I was meaning I would have thought that it would have been a 1 or 3w Luxeon Unit similar to these:




If it's just a standard 10mm LED, I can just make my own using components I have in front of me costing around 30p!
