I have had one for several years now. Never have changed the batteries.
Haven't had to change the bulb either. Seems like those old mini maglites would always need the bulb replaced when you where a mile back in the woods and it was pitch black. It was hard to dig that new bulb fom the end and get it back in in the dark. Happened to me several times.

I converted my little mag light. I don't really like how you can't focus the light after you do it.

I converted mine also, same opinion as TheAirMan but it's great for walking a trail, just nothing past 8 feet or so.
It sure saves on batteries as stated above.
