LED replacment for mag lights

I've never been impressed with the dim light. and short battery life of mag lights, so while at home depot yesterday I picked up a $19 dollar 3 watt LED drop in bulb "upgrade" for my 2 "D" cell mag light, and then compaired it to the output of one of the $80 3 watt LED tactical lights that a friend who is really in to LED lights has, and altho pointing it at your face, the $80 light will blind you a bit more (smaller lense, more focuesed close up), shining it down a dark street, and on buildings last night, they apear to be exactly the same, and up to about a block away you can light stuff up, half a block away and you can shine thru windows and light up inside buildings.

of course the $80 tactical light is smaller and lighter, and they are both aluminum houseing that you could drive over, the more exspensive tactical light takes $6-10 worth of odd lithum batterys that if you want to get the best price on you have to order a case of 100 or something, and the mag light can take cheap rechargables, or cheap "D" cell batteries that you can get at any gas station, and altho does cost a bit to go and buy a new mag light + the LED, alot of people already have the mag lights, or course this LED bulb replacment would fit in a plastic .99 cent flashlight as well...
