Hi and im glad my videos helped. As i am in Australia M@gLites cost substantially more over here and i purchased mine in back in 2005 before the L.E.D variant was released.

As for ordering a new switch i am pritty sure you can order direct from maglite so i would call 800 289-6241 during business hours and order one, but as im in australia i am not sure about any other way of getting your hands on parts. best regards.

TILZ4U. Thank you for your comment. In answer to your question the only thing required to convert a standard D-Cell into a L.E.D is the l.e.d modual available from M@glite other than that they are identical. I recomend the genuine m@glite bulb as it is 3watt. NiteIze make a bulb but it is only 1watt so it's not as good, although the genuine m@glite one is more expensive costing about $60Au. Thanks

Very helpful! Thank you. I'd never taken a Maglite apart before. Had to clean off some corrosion from the metal contacts. Both parts of your vid came in handy. :-)

Hi.. thanks from Denmark...

I found my old Maglite 6 D Cell from the shed and it did not work properly only every other time and I was about to throw it out but then I found your video and disassemble it. Now it works like new it is probably 10 years old.

Thank you again.

You can't go wrong with a Maglite 3-D. I have one that is over 20 years old. There are a few differences with it: The switch has a more robust click to it, there is more knurling on the tube and the thickness of the aluminium is a little beefier =)

Thank you for the video. This was extremely helpful in repairing my Mag's switch.

It was under water for like a week went back and actually found it ! There was minimal water in it when I found it if u don't take the button out often it dosent stretch and STAYS WATERPROOF

[ooblar7]

Haha the upgrades in the US are like $15 I have a led maglite 2d it came led was $30 I think it's not true that maglites are not water proof I dropped mine without knowing it

Maglite is heavily overrated, bought my d-cell 2 years ago, its already failing, thrown that piece of garbage in the wastebin.

Hi there, thanks so much for this demonstration. My maglite had batteries in it that leaked and they caused a right mess inside. I needed to take it apart to clean it all up and without this video it could of been a real dilemma. I have cleaned it up and reassembled it, it is now as good as new. Thank you.
