Had a little Mini-Mag 2AA for years. Worked OK. Lite got dim, changed
batteries, still dim. Bulb looked burned, replaced bulb. Tried and
tested different batteries. Cleaned contacts at base/end of unit.

Damned thang won't lite. Bulb OK, batteries OK, unit has not been abused.

Any ideas?

No signs of battery leakage inside the tube?
(vinegar works good for removing alkaline battery leakage)
When you remove the front bell to replace the bulb,does the black plastic
part spring up and can it be pressed down and spring back when released?
That is how the lamp gets turned on.

it's common for the bulb filament to deposit a black film inside the
bulb,reducing light output.

I installed a Nite-Ize LED mod on my AA Maglite,and a tailcap switch,too.

Please, what's this "LED mod"? (and how to install it?) (and $cost?)


Ditto for tailcap-switch.

Does that mean that now you have TWO ways to turn (toggle?) it on/off?

Thanks!
