Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mag-Lite SH33DCW6J 3-Watt LED 3-C/D Cell Flashlight Upgrade Module
Customer Review: A Nice Upgade for an Old MagLite
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this upgrade from Amazon for an old MagLite that was getting "long in the tooth". The two cell flashlight wasn't very bright and I was about ready to toss it and buy a new LED flashlight(until I saw how expensive they were!). I wasn't aware that I could upgrade my old MagLite until I saw the LED upgrade item available at Amazon.
I was a little disappointed when I received the upgrade, it looked just like the tiny old bulb in the flashlight that I was replacing. Well anyway, it took about a minute to unscrew the flashlight and replace the old bulb and reassamble with the upgrade bulb. I never bothered changing the old batteries. When I turned the flashlight on I was amazed...a blinding blue-white light was the result. I could hardly beieive it! I strongly recommend this upgrade for your old MagLite. The mechanical build quality of MagLite flashlights is superb, now the light beam matches it. Highly Recommended,
Customer Review: Best light for flashlight
Summary: 5 Stars
Since switching to the LED upgrade, my flashlight has the best light from a flashlight I have seen.Customer Review: Better than the original bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried an LED upgrade for my 2xAA mini-mag and hadn't been too impressed with the performance, so I've been leary of LEDs for Mag lights until I bought a new 3xD LED mag light. It vastly outperformed my 20 yr old 3xD mag light. So, I bought this kit. Wow. It works far better than the original bulb.
Customer Review: Bright but lacks focus
Summary: 4 Stars
LED's do wonders for weak batteries providing bright white light till the end. But it comes at the expense of not being able to focus the beam in my mini-mag lite (2AA size). My 3D size maglite w/LED does allow focusing although the light seems weaker vs standard bulb when not in a tight focus.
Pros-brighter white light, even with nearly exhausted batteries. Longer battery life.
Cons-lack of ability to focus.
I regard the LED's as an overall improvement, although a bit pricey.
Customer Review: Brilliant and Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This module turns your 3 cell maglite into a much better flashlight.
The upgrade module seems brighter than incandescent bulbs, even halogen bulbs, and throws a brilliant white beam.
The batteries last more than four times longer than with the original incandescent lamp. The beam is still focusable via the rotating maglite head as before the upgrade.
This module will probably outlast your flashlight as it is rated for 50,000 hours of continuous use. Another thing, it will not easily break with shock like a fragile glass bulb.
To sum it all up; greater reliability, more light, longer battery life, no problems.
By the way, shop for a good price. These same modules go as low as 12 dollars and as high as 30. Cheers.
