The Nite Ize LED Upgrade Kit converts most C & D (2-6 cell PR style flange). It's as easy as replacing the bulb - instantly, your flashlight will emit a pure white (as. Even with the color filters and diffuser lenses, the brightness is there. I replaced a dead 6v battery in this lantern with an adapter that takes 4 D cells so I could.

I also had to modify the D cell adapter, with very small brass screws, threaded, then solder'ed, into the negative side contacts to elevate the battery contact 1/8' above the negative side platform base. NOTE!..slightly reaming the retainer contact studs, ( i used a very small phillips screw driver ) will help start the brass screws. This step was necessary, because the adapter had plastic 'rails' to support the positive side of the batteries, on either side of the positive contact plate, making the simple task of installing the batteries in backwards, useless. After completion, the center spring contact on the adapter's top, is now positive, making the use of a cheaper led bulb possible. note! I used a heat sink when I did the soldering, because the D cell adapters from 'rayovac' are made from abs plastic. Walmart stopped carrying the adapters, Amazon.com was 'out of stock', as I'm converting two lanterns, I found two on ebay for $8.99 w/free shipping. 5/15/2016
