I'm finally moving out of the dark ages and into the light, literally. A few years back I thought I'd try some LED PR replacements in my 5 cell Mag lights. Waste of money, the halogen ones I already had were brighter. Fast forward. I tried again and what an improvement! So much so, I've outfitted all my C and D cell Mag lights with them.
For my 2 cell C flash lights I got some Cree PR-5W-3VDC from fleebay.
For my 3 and 5 cell D flash lights I got some LudoPam 300LM for 3 to 6 cells from Amazoid.
Very impressed with both.
Now for all my Mini Mags.

The quality ones are for real. I have an original mag 3 cell with the LED that has always been reliably bright and easy on batteries. Any aftermarket bulb just wasn't cutting it. The Cree ones seem to be top shelf.

I have a good dozen mini mags as well. I decided to just replace them with the pro version that already has an LED. The LED conversions for those don't come highly rated. the biggest complaint is they aren't any brighter than the stock halogens. Then for the cost, they aren't cost effective. Almost as much as the flashlight its self.

I have always found the minimag bulbs to be rather fragile. I may try one of the bulb options for led if available.
