TerraLUX LED 600 lumen upgrade for Magcharger flashlight or D cell Maglite

You can order them for a Magcharger w/ bi-pin or for a D cell light.

600 lumen LED upgrade for my magcharger flashlight. Puts my WA 1160 bulb to shame! Will try to put up a new video soon using it in pitch dark to show the throw a little better.

And yeah, most of flashlight manufacturers provide theoretically highest possible output- emitter lumens, which is the highest output from the LED itself. But when u take optical and other loses (even all leds aren't "exactly" the same-there are some output variations), u often get about only 2/3 of emitter light out of the flashlight. Only Surefire states the lumens correctly-if you buy 200lumens LX2, you WILL get 200 lumens out from the flashlight.

@Hribovc Well said!

[VerystrangeMaster]

seems too blue. Anyway, how am I suppose to get the best flashlight when some of them are measured in lumens, cp, lux, wats, light throw distance.... How can one compare them ?

[KSON973]

@VerystrangeMaster It really isn't that blue, it's my camera. Look a little further into the video. I believe you can see the true color around 1:00

[gcostillo]

Wow this is one of the coolest lights I've seen. I'm gonna have to get a Maglite now.

[KSON973]

@gcostillo I agree with ApocalypticRedIX, If you don't already have a Mag, then get a Fenix TK-40.

[gcostillo]

WOW NICE!

[gavincurtis]

Soon, no more halogen or HID for headlights! :)

Awesome flashlight.

Hahah he was prolly like daaaaaamn what was that lol

[jimmyhoffa9]

im nightblind and I use a terralux kit for the 2d maglite with 2 18650's and damn with that thing im pretty happy i dont have night vision, because i can still see better at night with this than my buddies can.

[04mach1speed]

Holy crap that thing is briiiight..

That would give my Jet-Beam bc40 a good run...

Great video :)

Bright :) I think that Coast gives the majority of hi-end flashlights a run for their money. Mag lite is just all around awesome.

[ianmanfredsengensen2]

@Hribovc This wasn't correct a year ago and it isn't correct now. Almost all high-end flashlight makers have been stating OTF lumens (Out The Front, measured at the outside of the front lens) for a couple years now. 4Sevens and OLight come to mind here, but there are others. Other cheaper brands count lumens from right in front of the emitter, or state the emitter mfr's specs whic as you say don't include reflectors, etc. Surefire had great tech in 2008, but the have lost the lead since.

[ianmanfredsengensen2]

@newhuskytwenty You are correct - Surefire and Streamlight (USA mfr's) were surpassed in technology somewhere in late 2008. 4Sevens, OLight, Fenix, etc. all have better product that beat SF&SL hands-down, but SF&SL advertise to police dept's and military who then tell their friends its the best, who believe them on their word. I, being an American, wish SF&SL would come out with better models, but they are stuck in a rut selling an inventory of 3-year-old technology that they just won't let go.

[newhuskytwenty]

@Hribovc you say that just because Surefire is an American brand, but the german LedLenser and chinese Fenix are more advanced and less expensive (in Europe at least)

[asssface2000]

cost? put the cost in the description!

[applevalleyjoe]

Very powerful head...which LED's does it use....looks like they may be the XP-G-R5.

[TheTexasAk47]

@ericssson you said get a Fenix tk 45.. Nope dude chinese shit sucks period....
