Affordable and gets the job done
My 2005 Nite Ize 3-LED Combo Upgrade had a smooth, wide beam fixed pattern with adequate brightness, but had become intermittent. The replacement Combo Upgrade II is a bit brighter and adjusts from spot to flood, but its pattern is not as smooth. I'm using a modified Mini Maglite reflector, which I prefer to the Nite Ize reflector.
Using two NiMH cells @ 2.6V, my Nite Ize II draws just .07A (0.18W), vs .18A for the 2005 Nite Ize and .28A for the halogen bulb. It should last 30 hrs/charge.

Perfect retrofit for a maglite mini, even though it was made in late 1980s. Basically brings your older incandescent maglites to the age of LEDs! Super bright and easy to install. Definitely recommend this for all maglites with incandescent bulbs.

Replacement of the xenon lamp is straight forward. Original lamp puts out marginal lighting, even in dark conditions. This replacement LED head is not as bright as Mag-Lite's factory head but it is less expensive. This LED head puts out significantly more light which is useful. You can purchase an older Mini Mag-lite brand new and this head and have a better light for cheaper. I keep one in my truck, one on my keychain, and two in my first aid kit. You can use the pushbutton switch or rotate the head as usual for Mag-lite products. I've had the one on my keychain for two years without fail. Certainly meets the expectations.

Don't waste your money, just buy an LED flashlight. It keeps the infamous dark spot in the center of the beam. Makes the normal smooth Maglite(r) focus very finicky. The focus will turn the light off (like a normal maglite) but so will the switch. Then you have to fiddle around to figure out why it's not coming on. I don't like spending $$$ on the regular bulbs, but this kit doesn't improve the performance enough and actually makes it worse.

Not bad at all
Once I watched the video in the Instructions + Warning on the top of this page as to the proper sequence for assembly it was quite easy and works great

This LED upgrade is pretty good, certainly an improvement over incandescent bulbs. Only thing I don't like is that with this conversion installed, the front assembly of the light only screws on for a couple of threads before bottoming out, so it's not on there all that securely.

I like the push button switch it is more reliable than the twist on way. I wish the head of the light would not have to be screwed so far out to get the beam to focus though.

A lot Better than the regular blub but not as bright as one with more than one bulb. But it is a big upgrade if you want to keep your mini mag flashlight ? and not by a Chinese one. Maybe soon they will make a Replacement for mini mag with more bulbs in it than your have a real upgrade kit so keep your mini mags and hope that they come out with a replacement with 5 to 10 bulbs and then you can have a real upgrade kit.
But this kit is a lot better then the old bulb. So keep your mini mags flashlight.

Easy upgrade, works great!
This is for the second Mini-Mag. I got one several months or a year ago. After a couple initial hiccups (discovering the polarity of the LED connector wires) it worked fine. Maybe about 20 minutes for that, but ta-da! It's now a new, better flashlight. So recently got one for my wife, and just did the upgrade on hers. Maybe 10 minutes (at most ) for this one. She will be very happy with hers, I know, because she would borrow mine!

This is the second and third led conversions that I have done on my old mini maglites. Each one has worked just fine and brought new life and light to these flashlights.

Great upgrade
Switch works great, however I found that the threads on the switch are improper and do not provide the proper ccontact with the tube. I cut a strip of aluminum foil and wrapped it around the switch threads to provide good contact,

Once reassemble the fit seems loose & not a great fit. Sorry I bought it as for the energy invested I could have bought a new mini mag light with LED.

I have upgraded 3 AA Maglite flashlights to this LED Kit and I really like them. Have a button on the butt end of the light is helpful not having to use two hands to operate the flashlight.

LES bulb is significantly brighter
The brightness was so nice I went back to the store to replace all my old mini mag's bulbs. And the end cap is a must since I lost control of one of my hands. I had no problem in changing out the bulb and endcap without directions, so don't be intimidated about upgrading your older flashlight. It will be worth it. Ps- I'm a 70 year old woman- so I know if I did it- you can, too.
