Can I forgo the endcap switch and continue using the focus beam to turn off and on.

From my experience with this product I would not recommend to ever turn the head of the flashlight to focus light beam after installing upgrade! Reason is overtime turning the Mini Mag-Lite beam focus part tends to twist the LED connectors and ultimately damages it to where it will either flicker or not work at all. I have taken this item back to Home Depot 2 times to only have the same results again. Then I wrote to Nite-Ize about the problems and they sent out several replacements and several smart switches for my troubles. Then another problem arose from the smart switch! There is a red LED light that flashes on the smart switch to show that it's in use. It's also there to see if you drop the flashlight in the dark to locate it. Because it is always on, the switch will drain the batteries completely dead. So to fix the problem, you need to turn the Mini Mag-Lite off by twisting the neck part. Now going back to my original problem, turning the neck is what will kill your LED upgrade, so installing the smart switch will cause you to constantly replace batteries or turn it off at the neck and kill the LED upgrade. Their LED upgrade for the D-cell Mag-Lite's completely different story, you replace the lightbulb with an exact lightbulb style LED. There isn't any upgrade parts to replace to allow for this upgrade, unlike the light reflector that comes with the Mini Mag-Lite upgrade kit. You just unscrew the part that holds the bulb in place on the D-cell Mag-Lite, replace the bulb with the LED upgrade bulb and screw the part that holds it in place back, that's it! Anyway, it's a great way to make a Mag-Lite even better, by using this upgrade! Just keep in mind that it is extremely fragile and can be broken easily if you use it in a normal fashion, which is crazy!

package quanity lists 2 options, my question is what's the difference between "in stock " and "new" other than price?

There is really no difference, other than price, except when you click new you will have a choice between other sellers, which offer different pricing.

Does it work with this model?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UUSAAM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Worked well for two mini Maglites I had. The newer Nite Ize uses a better pushbutton switch; the older one was too easy to trigger. Either way, the pushbutton is a nice improvement over twist-on, twist-off. The light is significantly brighter and batteries last a lot longer. If you're buying a new Mag, get the LED model. If you have one or more older Mag minis and they still work, then this is a reasonable upgrade for $9.

If I retrofit the clicker on/off button will the flashlight still fit through a Maglite sheath?

Yes this will fit the retro. It works so much better then turning the head. With this clicker and the LED build, it is so much better. I did not want to give up my purple Mag flashlight. It is worth the buy

Wenn ich in den letzten Jahren zelten war habe ich gemerkt, dass meine Mini-MagLite nicht mehr mit anderen Taschenlampen mithalten kann. Ich verwende sie meistens mit Akkus, um den Batteriemüll zu vermeiden, und vielleicht auch deshalb war das Licht schon immer eher schwach. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass meine MagLite schon ziemlich alt ist, und deswegen habe ich auch noch keine Xenon-Birnen verwendet. Jedenfalls wollte ich gerne mehr aus der Taschenlampe rausholen, ohne sie ersetzen zu müssen, weil sie mir sowohl optisch als auch haptisch sehr gut gefällt. Mit diesem Upgrade-Kit bin ich wirklich begeistert! Die Lichtausbeute ist wesentlich höher, und ich bin froh, dass ich die MagLite so noch ein paar Jahre verwenden kann. Sicher sind aktuelle Taschenlampen noch sehr viel heller - das mag sein. Aber für ein Upgrade-Kit ist das schon sehr in Ordnung. Kann ich nur empfehlen! Ich habe jetzt gesehen, dass es noch ein stärkeres Upgrade-Kit gibt, mal sehen, ob ich das auch mal ausprobiere...

Très facile à mettre en place. Change vraiment le fonctionnement et la qualité de la lampe. La lumière est beaucoup plus blanche et éclaire beaucoup mieux. Une simple pression sur le bouton à l'arrière de la lampe suffit à l'éteindre et à l'allumer. Plus besoin de régler l'angle d'éclairage. Achat sans aucun regret.

Fácil de instalar - lo utilicé con una lampara de marca "Truper" sin necesidad de usar la parte del la capa de cola (Tail Cap on/off switch) porque la lampara cuenta con un apagador lateral. Solamente buscaba lo de la conversión a LED - funciona perfectamente bien con celdas recargables de níquel-metal hidruro aunque su voltaje nominal es de 1.2V en lugar de 1.5. Algunos productos sí necesitan los 1.5V de las celdas alcalinas desechables - no fue el caso en éste instancia. La intensidad de la iluminación es mejor que el foco original (al menos con las celdas recargables).

La modificación con los productos que trae el combo, es inmediato, hasta para personas que no sepan de electricidad. Tan simple como cambiar las pilas.
