I would consider this support equipment, but without a sub-forum for "stuff within reach while driving" I'll post here.
I've always kept a maglite shoved between my seat and console (fits great there in my taco ) for whipping out quickly to ID an animal, street sign, etc.
These days though, the battery in my magcharger doesn't light up the halogen bulb so well and I'm looking for a better solution. I upgraded my wife's 2D maglite with a terralux bulb and I'm stoked - $15 well spent. So my first thought was to do the same with my magcharger, and get a new battery. However, the terralux upgrade for the magcharger is $70, and you lose the adjustment that makes it a maglite. Anyone have experience with this upgrade??
SO ... do I drop $90 on a 1000 lumen terralux and a new battery, or 35 on an LED maglite and rechargeable D's, or something else entirely? Seems like a waste to ditch the well built light and charger I have already.
Cheers and thanks for your thoughts!
