Maglite® Flashlights Reborn With L.E.D. Upgrade Kit by Nite Ize

Posted: 04/04/2006 In Category: Outdoor New Products

Posted By: Leigh Goldberg

Nite Ize, Inc., designer and manufacturer of Innovative Accessories, introduces the first L.E.D. Upgrade Kit for the AA Mini Maglite® flashlight. There are millions of AA Mini Maglite® flashlights in use today; however, many of these standby flashlights have laid dormant over the years due to broken incandescent bulbs and quick battery drain. Until now. The two-pin, three-bulb L.E.D. module from Nite Ize easily replaces the standard incandescent bulb in the AA Mini Maglite® with a higher performing white, red, green or blue L.E.D. light. MSRP: $8.99. For those with larger Maglites®, Nite Ize offers the L.E.D. Upgrade for C and D Cell Maglite® flashlights. MSRP: $9.99.

In addition to producing a better quality light, the L.E.D. Upgrade extends AA battery life up to 20 hours, which is four times longer than the incandescent bulb. For larger flashlights, the L.E.D. Upgrade extends the life of 2 through 6 C or D cell Maglite® flashlight batteries up to 10 times longer than the standard incandescent bulb. Consumers will appreciate saving money on new batteries as well as not having the hassle of replacing batteries and bulbs so frequently. The L.E.D. Upgrade module is also shockproof.

The L.E.D. Upgrade for the AA Mini Maglite® is available in four colors to suit a variety of needs and uses. White L.E.D. is best for general use. Blue L.E.D. enhances detail. Green L.E.D. increases night vision sensitivity, and Red L.E.D. also preserves night vision and peripheral vision.

The white L.E.D. Upgrade is also available with a Tail Cap Switch upgrade. The Tail Cap Switch allows users to conveniently turn the AA Mini Maglite® on and off with the push of a button eliminating the need to use two hands to twist the flashlight on and off. MSRP: $9.99.

Review ThumbnailMakoto Xergame
June 29, 2009
When the current owners of Makoto USA saw the game that would become Makoto at an arcade in 2002, they immediately realized its potential to provide both physical and mental fitness for anyone, from athletes to the elderly to folks in rehab. The SNEWS® team first saw a Makoto at the Health & Fitness Business show in Denver several years ago and, after playing it (over and over, we must admit), we had to get one for the office.

WS 100 endurance run observations: Product, privacy and sloshing packs
"I was hanging out helping brain-dead runners summit the Devil’s Thumb climb in the Western States 100 last Saturday, June 27. It’s a nasty, rocky, 1,500 foot climb over 1.8 miles that comes for most in the hottest part of the day. And it was pretty hot, dry and dusty last weekend. As I escorted runner after runner from the top to the medical aid weigh-in, got their bottles and packs refilled, and"
