Pushing the switch tool down the barrel, one can feel the tool's stems inserting into holes at the end of the barrel. With a little more effort, the outer platform's stems will be pushed out from the inside of the Mini Mag. The longer of the two lengths is used to remove the switch, and the shorter are used to put the switch back together.

The head contains the reflector, so removing the head leaves the bulb exposed --which is how it works in candle mode. This is the second E12 V2 that I have purchased from Torch Direct (first one for my wife, this one for me). Unlike more powerful ones, if accidentally turned on, there is no risk of the LED generating too much heat in your pocket.

It was not long before long police officers, firefighters and mechanics were raving about the tough, durable and dependable torch that would soon become an American classic. Please note these upgrades are designed for use in the original Mini Maglite 2 AA incandescent model with the bi-pin bulb, they do NOT fit the new Maglite Mag-LED 2 AAA / 2 AA LED models or the 1 AAA battery Solitaire. If these contacts fall out and are not placed back into the Mini Mag switch correctly, it will stop the light from working. So when the switch removal tool is pulled out of the barrel it will frequently have the inner part of the switch on it. version no more bulky or weighty than the 2D I feel, nothing significant anyway, which was something I was wondering about before getting this, so happy I went for this one.

When a Mini Mag does not work, and the bulb and batteries are good, the switch is the part we want to check. There is a small strip of metal that goes from the center of the inner part of the switch to the outer edge of the barrel.

Armed with only his talent, his determination and his reverence for hard work, Tony Maglica set out in pursuit of the American Dream when he founded Mag Instrument in 1955.

turn for focusing that’s really smooth, and like the option to have different beam programmes to suit preference. Fits Mini Maglite 2-Cell AA torch and 2-Cell AAA torch (not for use with LED models, compatible with incandescent bulb models only). This upgrade is a direct replacement for the original bulb, it now includes a polished solid metal reflector. The part you see here is the outer part of the switch, and has the words "DO NOT REMOVE" stamped on it. The high setting is really very impressive, and the eco setting is great for general torching and more than adequate for outside in the pitch dark which was good to see.If that doesn't work then just push the inner part of the switch out with the switch removal tool placed into the holes at the front of the Mini Mag where the outer part of the switch would go. Every MagLite is designed to perform under tough real-world conditions: they are water-resistant, shock resistant, corrosion-resistant and backed up by a limited lifetime warranty. Place the small stems of the tool into the holes on the positive side of the inner part of the switch and push the inner part of the switch back into the barrel of the Mini Mag.

Once the inner part of the switch is removed it shows the positive contact as a small round piece of metal in the center of one side of the switch. The out part of the switch is what held the inner part of the switch inside the barrel of the Mini Mag. If not, tap the rear of the Mini Mag on the palm of your hand and the inner part of the switch will fall out in your hand. The outer switch is one piece of plastic that is pressed into the inner part of the switch with two stems.Longer battery life results from the circuit built into the unit which completely utilizes the power from the batteries, whilst maintaining constant light output. If your model has an incandescent bulb, the anatomy of the light will still be the same, but the bulb itself will look different. Holding the tool firmly in place while you push the stems of the outer part of the switch into the holes of the inner part of the switch as it is held at the front of the Mini Mag with the tool completes the switch assembly.
