Torch advice

[Midnitemo]

Just finished updating all my torches to LED , final D cell Maglite received its 55 lumen bulb today , my main aim is extended burn time one the cells , hoping for more than double on the ones I have put bigger bulbs in and as much as triple for the ones I've swapped out like for like , I have a number of torches but in the main its mostly Maglite(innova/cree and a couple of cheap wind up Chinese unbranded plus a couple petzl head torches making up the rest) what I have noticed is Niteize kits/bulbs seam to be the superior option to most other stuff out there but sadly not everything is as described when it arrives from fleabay the genuine stuff comes in blister packs and the copies don't , have a cheap 3 led bulb and a knock off on/off end cap I'm not to impressed with on one mini but everything else now passes muster , Philips do a bulb 50 lumen that fits the triple a Maglite that works well but no on/of end cap available for this torch (doesn't fit the solitaire but then that is a Maglite not really worth bothering with) another point worth considering with the D cell torches is they make a handy baton should investigating that 3am noise cut up rough, and it was brought along as a torch with no malice of forethought.
