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

This bulb fits and works great. To set the bulb's high/ low feature just click the switch. That's it! Even weak batteries will make the LED bright white. It's a must for around $20. Also works great with rechargeable batteries, while bringing the old Maglite up to date.

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.

Easy replacement for an incandescent bulb. Very bright light.

A little disappointed in the brightness of this bulb. It is better than the original bulb but not as bright as some of the newer small flashlights. It does do the job.

great value, fit perfectly. the color is like a florescent light. has two settings low amd high. it functions great 👍 I'll update the review about life span. I use it with Rechargeable D cells

Worth the extra $$$$ The cheaper ones are only 200 lumes

After experiencing 3 differently branded led bulbs for 2D flashlights that ranged from mediocre to outright terrible(one was as advertised but only marginally brighter than stock, another was completely DOA, and the third "high output" one wasnt near as bright as advertised and then later died). This is the first Im actually happy with and is much MUCH brighter than the stock bulb while being a simple drop in replacement. In low mode its slightly brighter than the stock bulb in my 3 cell/4.5v maglight, while the high mode absolutely blows the stock and other bulbs out of the water. Spend the extra 8-10$ and get this, its worth it. My only complaint is that the focus ability is hampered in part due to the bulb being taller, but this is a common problem with many led replacements

The bulb replacement is fine, great in fact. The seller chose to ship via UPS ground. For a flashlight bulb! Yes, a bulb, on a cardboard card. So, it took a week to get here. If you find this product from another seller, buy it. Avoid these ground shippers.
