Save yourself time and hassle and buy a small flashlight engineered for
an LED from the start. They aren't that expensive and you'll be much
happier.

No but, I bought someone the regular AA Mag LED and I was impressed.
It did focus.

I like my River Rocks from Target, except they don't sell them now.
I liked my Dorcey's but the switches break.
I think these guys have th deals.....

I'd avoid both the LED Mag conversions and the LED Maglites.

The conversions are poor to average and battery life is not too good either.

The LED Maglites have performed poorly for me; six of our engineers were
issued with them and they are all now using something else...

Problems included;
intermittent switches
poor battery life
and a 'feature' of the LED Maglites - they have a built in voltage
regulator to maintain lamp brightness over time; this works...
A side effect is that the torch works fine and bright right up till the
moment the light cuts out.
Great when you're up a ladder or in a roof-space - no warning, no
dimming, just nowt, nada, darkness. Wait a while and it may be bright
for a short time again...

I think this feature may have been causing the reports of 'intermittent
switches'.


I'm using a Gerber Tritac at present. Very happy with it. Solid alloy
build, O rings.
Not super-bright, but more than enough and months of battery life (2 x AA).
