Generally it seems that if your serial number starts with D, the new stuff is compatible.

The switch canister (bulb holder?) is too low for the new TLE-300M to reach the threads. Would you happen to know if this means my Mag is the wrong series or something? I took the switch assembly out of a 2D LED Mag and tried it--it I leave it really high in the barrel, it almost works. But it doesn't line up with the switch hole then...frustrating. Any advice?

The other night I had the flashlight out in pitch black in my neighborhood and it was lighting up houses about 400yrds away. The only issue is that it is costly compared to the other upgrades.

I was planning to upgrade my Maglites. How does the Mnistar 5 light (lumens)compare with the Maglite 3 watt LED upgrade. Great to hear that there is an upgrade for the 6 Cell maglite since Mag doesn't supply one. Thanks again, Fred Thanks for your leg work.
