You may be able to use 4 C cells in a 3 D Maglite to make it work properly but won't work to its full potential with just 3 D cells - Voltage too low

I have some 3 D cell maglites I may upgrade but I here that some of the uogrades turn blue when they get hot. Maglite makes an upgrade too... What do you recomend for brightness and runtime in the 3 D cell maglites?

Hi, I would go for the TerraLUX upgrade over the Maglite one as the heatsink is better, and it is brighter. If you have a big budget you could also look at the Malkoff LED dropins.

Hi, I was just wondering if these bulbs work on the rechargeable maglites.

[thetorchsite]

Hi, a slightly different model with the same spec works on the rechargable Maglites which is the TLE-300MR.

@paintballerzlbr I don't think so but there exists an upgrade for bringing your 3D to a 4D cell. Look for XCapeCap D-cell tube extender.

This just means that a 6D can be converted to a 7 or 8. LOL

... Well on my maglite holster and carry my led lenser p17 in a "niteize" "grip and clip" to keep my hands warm in cold weather on patrols as well as my led lenser p7 and led lenser p14 on my belt as well for emergency backups.

I mainly use my p17 and don't use my mag charger with terralux 220 lumen upgrade or my streamlight stinger xt with terralux 200 lumen upgrade led or my maglite 3d for work anymore.

I am hoping to buy a led lenser x21 or x22 soon as well when I can afford it.

I have this led upgrade module and it's great.

I have a 2d maglite that I use it with the oscardelta 18650 converter kit, or i can put it in either my 4d maglite using normal alkaline's or my 5d maglite with alkaline batteries, but it runs brightest in my 2d maglite with the oscardelta 18650 converter kit and 2x 3600 mah 18650 protected ultrafire lithium ion batteries and is much brighter than my led lenser P17 torch, but as I work security, I carry the 2d (maglite SAR - Search and Rescue) as

@pschafer01 wait, what?

the mod costs 70 dollars. the torch costs 30-50. torch on its own sucks. torch plus mod doesnt.

[paintballerzlbr]

does this upgrade work for mag 3D

[Luccian22]

Does the upgrade work with the Mag 3D?:-s

[alatin04u]

thanks for the post, 

[pschafer01]

So I have to wonder... Amazon sells this upgrade kit for $15, but a brand new Maglite is about $20. Why bother upgrading?

Hi, only with a Oscar Delta 2D to 6AA battery converter or a soon to be available Oscar Delta 2D to 18650 battery convertor (the voltage from two standard D cells is too low). The TLE-300M has now been replaced with the TLE-300M-EX which has 3 modes and is brighter.
