okay I haven't got the battery for this yet but I want to talk about a an
alternative and upgrade for the old mini mag flashlight and I've had this mini
mag since uh good lord late 80s it's been in every truck I head and I cannot
confirm but this may have even seen a little action and i don't mean
illumination okay it's not a very bright light as far as lights go nowadays with
LEDs and xenon and halogen this is just a standard old incandescent bulb and in
its day it was a pretty good light Marie mayhem did a review a while back with an
LED upgrade and i'm going to try that and i found one even brighter now this
is the one Marie mayhem did was 40 lumens which made a huge difference and
i found this online that's supposedly this is 140 lumens and well i tell you
that's if we'll see i'm going to put this all together and tonight still kind
of braids out we're expecting some bad weather I either tonight or in the
morning so when it gets dark if it's not pouring rain out I'll go out and we'll
test out these two different bulbs i have four brand new batteries that oh so
it's a fair trial have i'll show you what it's like with the incandescent and
then we'll put the 4140 looming in and then we'll try the 140 lumen and we'll
do that just as soon as it gets dark and that shouldn't be but a couple more
hours see you then alright I'm in the dark i'm in the backyard and I'm fixing
to turn the regular incandescent light on with four brand new batteries and uh
it's terribly you can't even see the woods if you can follow my beam out
there it it won't even go to the woods and the
woods are not that far out there let's see here's my chicken house and I am
about 40 feet from the chicken house and let me see even wide beam that's
terrible terrible and for years and years this was as good as it got all
right yeah that's my a big light up here all right now I'm going to take the
incandescent out I'm gonna put the 40 lumen in be right back okay here's the
food 40 women and you know what that's worse than the incandescent here's my
chicken house you can't even see my chicken house for crying out loud geez
that's not that's just incredibly terrible yeah don't set the phone down
so I can adjust this one second you're going dark
okay well maybe that's why should see here yeah not impressed I tell ya the
hand can dessin is lighter than the 40 lumen LED still can't get to the the
woods all right let me uh let me put the 140 limit and will say okay this is the
140 lumen there is my chicken house definitely this is definitely the
brightest of all three all right now we're going to see how all right we are
hitting the woods yeah in the woods I would say the woods are about 230 240
feet from where I'm sitting right now training out I'm kind of sitting up
underneath the overhang on the back of my shop so I can't remember what it
costs 11 or 12 bucks i think it was seventeen dollars to the house this is
definitely definitely an improvement a
big-time improvement and worth the god I can't remember I've been minted to do
this for a while and I just haven't gotten around to it and I forgot how
much I paid for it I think shipped to the house it was seven bucks so uh I
mean 17 I'm sorry yeah I'm impressed I like this I'm going to leave it in the
40 watt from the 40 lumen from walmart did nothing as actually in my opinion
wasn't uh what is that white ok that's a railroad tie there it's part of my fans
yeah at the it wasn't even as bright as the incandescent so go back in and show
you that package one more time there's the incandescent that came with it this
is the the 40 lumen that came in this package from walmart and it
I wouldn't even say it was as bright as the incandescent and here is the new
comment terralux LED conversion kit I'm impressed I'm gonna leave that in there
that's a 33 hours to and it says two times brighter than standard bulbs and I
would absolutely I would have to say it's about four times brighter anyway
I'm at rest I like it that's a good seventeen dollars well spent
