I replaced the incandescent lamp in my MAG-LITE with a LED lamp.

Ah, thanks. My first intervention....

You said it, brother. If it's possible to have enough flashlights, the world really did end--I simply missed noticing it!

The old, big Mags don't get much love these days, but it's still a solid light, particularly if you go LED with it. In particular, the self-cleaning design of the switch makes it a workhorse while other lights fail to light up. (The switch design is patented so that's why other lights don't use it)

I replaced the xenon incandescent for a 3D Mag Light with a drop in LED module, and it can't compare to the factory LED...as I commented before, the state of Florida has a couple of tax free days on hurricane supplies prior to the start of the season... the 2D LED Mag Lights are typically a door buster at Lowes and Home Depot and have been in the $12 to $15 price range

I want to try a Malkoff head on one of my older Surefires.

I don't buy flashlights for myself anymore.

I don't really use flashlights anymore except for the tiny one carried on my keychain. My light of choice is the Princeton Tec EOS headlamp ... which I have stuffed all over the place.

They are very bright, compact, tough, lightweight, leave my hands free, and have the remarkable ability to automatically point toward where I'm looking.

Looks like a pretty good set. Where are the rest?

+1 Since I found the Fenix LD-20, I've only added three to the collection. One of their TK line, one 2AAA head lamp, and one of the Gerber multi-color LEDs.

Phaedrus... I upgraded an older 6P with a 240 lumen Malkoff module... the heat sink is massive, and designed for continuous use, which I will probably never use... the module is pretty pricey.... I upgraded a couple of the G2s I picked up off the prize table at Ft Benning with two 320 lumen modules from Solar Force at about $12 each...along with a $12 Solar Force L2M body... I put together a pretty good high intensity light with the L2M body and 320lumen module and a couple of SF CR123s for less than $30...size comparison
