"Tough/impact resistant, Semi-Regulated/long battery life, Bright, Easy install and reversible modification" -- Source: flashlightreviews Product Description TerraLUX MiniStar2 Extreme LED is the brightest LED upgrade kit for the Maglite Mini Mag 2AA. Extreme provides 100,000 hours of continuous lamp life while extending your flashlight's battery life up to two times longer. The MiniStar also retains focusing ability with 140 lumens of pure white light. Manufacturer's Description What are the Benefits of the TerraLUX MiniStar1? 1. Brighter light, whiter light and constant light output comes from the combination of the FOUR 3 mm LEDs and the PowerPush power management circuitry. The Four LEDs generate approximately 16 Lumens of light output , while the PowerPush circuit keeps it running at top performance even as the batteries get run down. 2. Longer battery life results from the PowerPush Circuit built into the unit which completely utilizes the power from the batteries, while maintaining constant light output. If there's juice& it will light. 2AA batteries will power your MiniMag for 15 continuous hours compared to barely 1 hour for the standard incandescent bulb 3. Indestructible LED performance and lifetime operation. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs do not just burn out. This is likely to be the last bulb you will ever need to buy. 4. Wide Angle coverage from the LEDs yields a beam spread of 120o. A center hot spot means you have a bright central light cone but still have excellent visibility all around you. Review: Works really well. - This is the third LED upgrade kit I have tried: The first one was a three LED replacement bulb which was pretty poor. The second was the type that left the torch head wobbling on too few threads. I fixed the head in place with a bit of insulation tape and it worked well enough for a couple of years of intense use. Unfortunately, I broke the LED whilst fiddling with it. ( If it ain't broke...) This model looks very similar but fits perfectly and works very well. The upgrade really transforms the torch and I hope the LED will last for years. I have an aftermarket switch on the other end but the upgrade allows the twist on/off function and focus to work perfectly. Highly recommended. Very bright Review: In two minds... - This Terralux MiniStar2 LED upgrade for the Mini Maglite is very bright indeed. Much more so than the original MiniStar but then you would expect so. I also find it much more focusable than the previous MiniStar but at immediate switch on I find there is a very obvious dark dead spot in the centre of the light it projects, which then needs further focusing to eliminate. In fact I have to turn the torch head so much to get pin point focus, the head is starting to get loose and wobbly. Having aleady bought the Ministar2 I'm now in two minds as to whether I should have just bought a dedicated LED torch from the outset rather than just try and prolong the life of something that was never designed as an LED torch and therefore shows the compromises. For the purchase price of this MiniStar2 you are already well on your way towards the purchase price of some similar sized and exceptionally good torches, such as those from LED Lenser. At least the MiniStar in it's self is a good product, it's a matter of whether it's worth spending your money to upgrade the Mini Maglite or just buy a new torch. ## Features - TerraLUX MiniStar2 Extreme LED Upgrade for Mini Maglite 2AA Flashlight - 140 lumen output; 4 hour runtime - Electronically regulated for constant light output - Retains the ability to focus flashlight beam - Not recommended for use with lithium batteries ## Images ![MiniStar2 Extreme LED torch bulb upgrade, Mini Maglite AA TLE-5EX - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-D3Jnh8VL.jpg) ![MiniStar2 Extreme LED torch bulb upgrade, Mini Maglite AA TLE-5EX - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZL1ONc+7L.jpg) ![MiniStar2 Extreme LED torch bulb upgrade, Mini Maglite AA TLE-5EX - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oVLeMf1QL.jpg) ![MiniStar2 Extreme LED torch bulb upgrade, Mini Maglite AA TLE-5EX - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AR4gjbbbL.jpg) ![MiniStar2 Extreme LED torch bulb upgrade, Mini Maglite AA TLE-5EX - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91umwIZLriL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works really well. *by S***M on 20 August 2013* This is the third LED upgrade kit I have tried: The first one was a three LED replacement bulb which was pretty poor.

Both together cost me just over Β£20 and whilst i realised i could probably have bought a decent new torch for that, my old maglight has been with me since i was a boy scout so there's great satisfaction in bringing it back to life. i just wasn't expecting how much better it is. it was also really, really simple to retrofit AND you can still focus the beam - which i gather some others do not. if you have an old maglight, you know the design is ace but believe me it's worth rejuvenating! everyone needs a top notch torch! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/53316504-ministar2-extreme-led-torch-bulb-upgrade-mini-maglite-aa-tle](https://www.desertcart.us/products/53316504-ministar2-extreme-led-torch-bulb-upgrade-mini-maglite-aa-tle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
