How to Make a Maglite Brighter
- 1). Turn off your MagLite.
- 2). Unscrew the top bulb compartment. Pull out the reflector from the bulb compartment and the lens disk from the top screw-on cap. Write down the model number.
- 3). Press down gently on the bulb and twist it counterclockwise to remove it. Identify the type of bulb from the writing on or near the threads.
- 4). Remove your batteries by unscrewing the door to the battery compartment, which is under the hand grip. Make sure your batteries are fully charged. Make note of the battery type.
- 5). Order from MagLite an upgraded LED bulb and metallic bulb reflector that's specifically made for your model. Also, to avoid melting, replace your plastic lens cap with a glass version. (For larger models of MagLites, a new battery compartment may be available to transform a supply of two D's or C's into one that contains several more AA's or AAA's.)
- 6). Install your new reflector, bulb, glass lens disk and battery compartment after they arrive in the mail. Test out your bolstered illumination.
