Default LED Drop ins

There are a lot of companies making drop-in LED replacement bulbs, but most of them are about the same brightness as the halogen bulbs they're replacing.

This company is different

Maglite LED flashlight conversion, Surefire LED flashlight conversion. Super bright LED flashlights

I just played with a 2 led conversion for a MagCharger. The conversion alone is 150.

It is fully as bright as an aircraft landing light (no exaggeration, I had one on the shelf.)

They have a conversion for a Surfire that is absolutely blinding. $60, and totally worth it.

Their stuff is hand built, and beautiful.

I upgraded my Surefire 6P with the below LED. It's 230 lumen and has a run time of 3+ hours. The cost is $49. I'm very impressed with it. It will easily momentarily blind someone (don't ask me how I know.) It doesn't require any type of washer/fitting ring. The light is pure white, unlike some LEDs, including Surefire's, whose tend to be "bluish."

It's not listed on his site, but he's doing a 3 LED Maglite conversion as well.

I got the 5 watt CREE LED kit for my Maglite Rechargeable about 6 months ago and it's the best ever. For the first 4-5 hours it's about 20% brighter then the old black body bulb and then it's about 80% for the next day or so and then it's about 30% for the next two weeks. Yes always on for two weeks. And the best part is the bulb lasts forever and if you drop it off a building it still works.
