 A low-cost flashlight upgradeJan 21, 2004
By EBSB
Have an old two-D-cell flashlight that's got to top 30 years old. When the lamp recently went, I decided to replace the PR6 bulb with a Maglight lamp. What a difference! The yellowish beam is now a brilliant white that illuminates even in a well-lighted room. You don't need to have a Maglight unit (though I've got several) to take advantage of this lamp. Note: Where other Maglight bulbs ship two to a blister pack, the two-cell LMSA201 ships one bulb per blister pack.

The ONLY bulb to use in a 6 cell MagLiteNov 29, 2009
By Bob God
"Bob God"
I bought my 6-D cell magLite in 1984 and stocked up on the Xenon bulbs at the time.
Somewhere around 1994 the last one burned out.
I couldn't find them anywhere and my requests to Mag Instrument Co. for more only yielded lists of local dealers that did not stock them.
The Xenon bulbs for the 2-D cell magLite are easy to find and are brighter than the common Krypton bulb is in the 6 cell light, so my 6-D remained in a drawer for fifteen years until I found these replacements on Amazon.
These are the ONLY bulbs to use in the 6D cell magLite and they're really hard to find, so STOCK UP!

 No focusing lens: Design Is DegradedAug 25, 2010
By Rusty
I paid a premium price for 2 of these Maglite 6-D Cell MagnumStar bulbs and I'm severely disappointed. Looks as though Maglite has succumbed to the temptation to build cheaper to reap higher profits while performance severely suffers.
I've come to expect MagnumStar bulbs from Maglite to have a snub nosed front end shape comprised of a specially ground glass lens providing a sharp focus of the light beam. That's the characteristic that prompts me search for these special bulbs.
The two MagliteMagnum Star LMSA601 bulbs I've received today have just a plain glass teardrop shaped bulb so these bulbs offer no focusing improvements over regular bulbs. These bulbs are, of course, for my 6-D cell Maglite flashlight. I lug that heavy flashlight around because I want to be able to pierce the darkness to see at great distances. Sharpening the beam focus is extremely important for that task. A tighter beam illuminates a specific subject or region with more light at great distances. In the past a MagnumStar bulb's extra focusing ability helped provide a tighter beam. MagnumStar bulbs no longer provide that extra focus since they are now just plain glass.
Magnum Star bulbs are also supposed to be Xenon instead of Krpyton. These bulbs are marked "6 Cell XE" which I presume means "Xenon" but you surely couldn't tell that from the performance. Usually, I can swap out Krypton with Xenon and tell the difference. These MagnumStar's received today don't seem to provide any brighter light nor are they any whiter than plain Maglite Krypton bulbs.
I won't waste time searching for Maglite MagnumStar (Xenon) bulbs any more until I see someone post that Maglite has reverted to the former design. There's just no longer any performance enhancement offered by a MagnumStar bulb as far as I can tell.
I just want to warn you that the MagnumStar bulbs you've come to depend upon no longer exist. The price is the same. The package is the same. But, the product in the package has been swapped to something of inferior design.
I know that I am going to search for some other brand of bulb. Somewhere, I hope to find something with a focused glass lens and a high performance filament/gas design. That's not Maglite MagnumStar any more, though. Sad but true.

Bright LightJul 09, 2007
By One Lone Man
I used to use Halogen bulbs in my Mag-Lite flashlights until Mag-Lite came out with their new Krypton bulbs. But these Xenon bulbs are even brighter than the improved Krypton bulbs. I recommend them for anyone who has a Mag-Lite or similar style of flashlight. Good job, Mag-lite.
Most cost effective upgrade for your Maglite.Apr 28, 2012
By Mr. P. MACCABE
I've been using a Maglite 6D for over 20 years now. Back in the day of its initial purchase I used the regular WhiteStar bulbs-two supplied and theylasted a fair time.
Eventually they blew and I was in the position of having to buy a new bulb.
I'd heard of the MagNum Star bulbs and the claims by Mag Intruments off their website.
And Amazon were selling them at a much reduced price over the £8 or so I'd been quoted in some MagLite stockists.
Fitting is very easy, just unscrew the head, then unscrew the jacket round the old bulb, remove, place the new bulb into the jacket, screw back into the assembly,screw the main head assembly back on and you're away.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE BARE BULB WHILST THE TORCH IS ON! IT GETS VERY HOT INDEED AND YOU COULD END UP WITH A NASTY BURN!
OK so what about the results?
Great, the beam is MUCH brighter and whiter than the conventional WhiteStar bulb. The beam pattern is also a little tighter.
In comparison to the older MagNum star bulb-which had a focussing lens at the tip of the glass-the beam isn't as sharp but it is a big brighter and is whiter IMHO.
Sadly this bulb is virtually extinct on the High St in the UK nowadays. Even in the pre-Internet days stockists of MagLite torches such as Halfords and B&Q were reluctant to stock these premium bulbs on a regular basis. So you really need to order this via Amazon to obtain it in any meaningful sense of the word.
A very worthwhile upgrade for your MagLite 6D indeed,at least this side of a £50+ Terralux LED Conversion kit.
Thoroughly recommended!
