What Customers Are Saying
The LED upgrade provides a significant improvement in brightness and battery life compared to the original incandescent bulbs. The installation is generally easy, though some users noted the need to leave a small black disc in place during the swap. While a few customers experienced issues with overheating or compatibility, the vast majority were highly satisfied with the performance and value of the LED upgrade.

Would Recommenddropped my 6 cell and bulb blew, this replacement is brighter and more able to take abuse. Love the brightness too.
Complete waste of money
Would Not RecommendReplace the original bulb in my 4 D cell Mag Lite with this product and it produced noticeably less light than the incandescent bulb. Switched back to the original bulb and tossed this LED junk in the garbage because there was no way Lowes was going to take it back. If zero stars were an option I would have selected that.
Nite Ize LED conversion Bulb
Would RecommendPurchased this to see how well it would adapt to military issue flashlight. Works Great! Intend on getting several more to adapt in the numerous Maglites I have around the house.

Best upgrade for a classic light
Would RecommendRecently, my old bulb went out in my 23 year Maglite that I purchased while deployed to Bosnia, I saw this upgrade in my local Lowe's store. What a difference it has made in the clarity and lumens compared to the old incandescent bulb.It is not an expensive upgrade and we'll worth every penny. This also increases the battery life; I only wish this had existed in 1996.
Not good for a 19.2V light
Would Not RecommendI installed this new LED bulb as a replacement for the old tungsten bulb in my Craftsmen 19.2V light, and it worked briefly before going out. After that, it would only come on for a fraction of a second each time I turned the light on. Not a good match apparently...
Hello Steve,
I am sorry that this LED upgrade did not work for you. It is designed to work with 2-6 C/D cell lights with a PR style flange...
style flange. The voltage is too much for our LED bulb. If you would like to exchange this LED upgrade for another Nite Ize product of equal value please feel free to contact customer service at info@niteize.com or 1-800-678-6483, Mon-Fri, 8 AM – 5 PM MST. />

74 Lumens +
Would RecommendLow current and very high brightness. I have used three of these upgrades. All three applications has made my original flashlight like new. One application used two D cells and the other two used AA batteries.
Easy to install, very bright light. Good way to update an older Maglite.
Improvement worth it.
Would RecommendThe use of a heavy duty quality flashlight makes a better bulb an improvement that can be noticed every time you use it. The cost, and trouble to install it will be repaid many times over.

Would RecommendThese are great! I am repowering all the old flash lights in our ambulances. Saves on new equipment and battery replacement.

Impressive little bulbs

Bulb
Would Not RecommendGave it one star because zero stars is not an option. Noticed three or four packs on the display that had been open and retaped - that should have started alarms ringing. Got one that I did not notice had been opened and retaped until I got home. I tried the bulb in both three and two cell lights. Did not work in either. Could occasionally get a very rapid dim blue flash but nothing else. My general opinion is that the bulb is a waste of time and money. Maybe one direct from the factory, from an...
