Default Taking apart a Mini-Maglite

The Nite Ize from Walmart is very respectable conversion.
Good light. Slightly blue. No focussing ability. Never blows
a bulb, batteries last longer.

Teralux is also excellent. I've got the one watt Teralux,
and really love it. Reasonably white light, a hint of blue.
Bright, and can be focussed.

With my Teralux, I bought me a new Minimag from walmart. The
threads are so loose, it kept turning itself on in my
pocket. I used an older Minimag, which works perfectly.

And to bring this back on-thread- I never had a battery leak
in a
mag-lite so bad that I couldn't bang it out by slamming the
closed tail
on a board repeatedly. (after removing both bulbs, of
course.) I think
mag-lite has gone downhill since they went mass-market. Keep
meaning to
get LED conversions for the ones I have, if I ever find them
all.
