How do you change the LED on this flashlight?

To change the LED on a mag lite you have to unscrew the head of the mag lite so you can remove the LED. Some models the LED unit just pulls out and some unscrew.

I have the same problem. Seller is sending me a new flashlight. Don't know about just a switch.

You've "got me" with that "cage" question! Unscrew the back of the flashlight and remove the "cage" that holds three batteries. You DO NOT "OPEN" that cage ... each battery pops out; pull them out from the side opposite each Spring (at the bottom or negative side of each battery) replace with fresh batteries, inserting the bottom ... or negative end onto the Spring in the "cage" compressing the Spring with the battery ... and pushing the top of the battery (positive end) into the "cage". Replace the cage with the three batteris back into the flashlight .... with the cage's movable "plunger" side going into the flashlight first. Have I satisfactorily answered your question????

Just take one of the batteries out and turn it around. It cannot light this way. Been doing it for years, ok, decades.

Unscrew the magnetic end of the flashlight. It might take some effort the first time so use pliars if necessary. Once loose it is self evident how to replace the batteries.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Not in the traditional way as in trying to change the battery on your flashlight. The charge should last you a week if you brush twice a day. If it's a rather old unit, perhaps it's time to get a new unit. If you just got it, then it's definitely defective.

I just unscrew the flashlihgt from the shaft. When you do this it will reveal a "button" battery. Pop it out and replace. Reattach the flashlight . That is the best I can do for you. Jim

I have no problem switching modes. All I do is the same thing you do which is click the button on the end of the cap. It switches from normal, to low, to blinking, etc. You must have gotten a defective flashlight.

Led replacement I am unsure about but replacing batteries seems easy, just take battery out and look at the serial code and match at Walmart, radioshack or anywhere else that sells button type batteries

Changing LED is not practical. My torches are several seasons old and still going strong. Have replaced batteries once.

A further comment. I picked up another one of these flashlights from LED Wholesalers at one of their trade shows in 2013 and discovered the model had changed. If you have the model with the rubber button on the back, it is as the others have said a binary switch. The older style with the metal button is the one which can be flashed.

Take a small flat head screwdriver, and turn the screw by the blue control boxes. If you do it while you have current running through the device, the LED light will change to reflect the new output voltage.

you need to twist the top of the flashlight. Depends on the position the flashlight is facing it would turn the low mid or high .

Release clamp feature so clamplight looks like a regular flashlight with feet to inside. Look into opposite side of on/off button - in the interior of the on/off HANDLE there is a small green tab labeled 'Press'. Pull the 'Press' tab to release & open the battery compartment. Directions are inadequate. I struggled for 45 mins before I found the Press button. Good luck!!

From the Device Settings, goto DEVICE OPTIONS and select Add Configuration Settings. Set the Variable to "3", Select "1 Byte Hex", and set "1" for Desired Value. This will flip the LED on/off. It is a nice night light but not in my bedroom so I swap the LED light so it is ON when Switch is ON instead of ON when Switch if OFF.

Once you click threw the five settings...leave it on the setting you wish to use. The next time you turn on the flashlight is should remain the same.
