As it happens, I already have two Legend AA lights and had both types of
conversion, as I had bought the 3 LED one before the 1 watt came out. I
always try to have two lights on the desk anyway, as I tend to put them
down in other places. :-)
With a Maglite and the 1-watt kit with electronic tail switch, it's easy
to set it to 1/2 or 1/4 power, so that's the most versatile option for
AA Maglites.
