LiteXpress LXB430 2 Mode LED Upgrade Module 430 or 40 Lumen Only for 2 C/D Cell Maglite Torches

Brighter and claims to draw less power. Still far behind many of the Chinese LED lights in lumens output but it does update a rugged and classic American flashlight to a more modern and now expected output level and two brightness levels. The LED includes a much longer installation screw on retainer as the top flange on the new LED bulb is much thicker than on the original incandescent bulbs. Basically the same light pattern as the incandescent version with the same beam center doughnut hole at wider beam pattern adjustments. This seems to be a matter of the incandescent Maglite reflector design. All of the incandescent Maglite LED upgrades have similar performance in this regard unless they include a different reflector but then you lose the beam adjustment capability. The current LED Maglites are better in this respect but do have a more limited beam adjustment range. The low power output is similar to the original incandescent output while the high output is much brighter. Hard to remember just how dim most older flashlights from 25+ years ago were typically.

Nice bright bulb. Works great.

Works great

Bought this bulb to replace a Maglite brand 1w bulb. This bulb is nice and bright however the color is more yellow like incandescent bulbs. My old bulb was white which I prefer but I do like the brightness.

worth the money, totally transforms a Maglite. Works great, easy to install, dunno how long it lasts since the batteries haven't run out yet. I bought this over a year ago, its laster the entire winter and then some.

At 430lm I wasn't expecting to knock the sun out of the sky or anything when I decided to upgrade my old 1990s AA maglites that have been kicking around the house for decades. It'd have been nice if it were closer to 500, though.All the same this bulb is a huge, huge improvement over the old incandescents. I don't regret the purchase for a second. It'd probably have been cheaper to just toss my old flashlights and buy new ones but I was loathe to create more unneeded waste.Installation was a snap in all but one of my lights and that one was not the bulb's fault. You can learn from me, though! Pro tip: don't leave a pair of cells in an old maglite for over a decade. They ain't coming out ever again no matter how much you hammer on them or try to dissolve the crust.

Great bulb i use an 18650 in a 2 c maglite perfect setup

Make that old junky flashlight in the draw like new!
