I used to use an LED conversion for the mini-maglite, it was superb and the batteries seemed to last forever. Might be worth a try?

My current glovebox torch of choice is the Coast HP7R, a rechargeable LED torch. I find it to be robust, extremely well-made,, versatile, and exactly right for a glovebox torch. I have also found that Coast's aftersales support is very good (one of mine got exceptionally wet on night and they replaced it FOC due to the ensuing condensation).
At the other extreme, I have just bought the latest spec Fenix RC40 rechargeable LED torch, which would (probab;y) fit in the cubby but not in a (normal) glovebox, and which whacks out an astonishing 6000 lumens. I am not aware of any other torch currently available which produces more light! It is impressive, but it is actually too powerful for many applications - it almost falls into the "weaponised" category!  |

You could always get hold of an OLIGHT X7R MARAUDER, but it only has 12000lumens

I have found Exposure Lights to be excellent. Made in England too.

I have a couple from different torches from LED Lenser and they've all been fab, I'd definitely recommend them.
Recently a purchased a Sealey LED torch/worklight to assist with a gearbox removal whilst abroad and since then used it far more than was expecting, probably more use than the torch. USB charging is handy given that everything seems to use them now. It lives magnetised to the side of the cubby box. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-LED3601G-R...sealey+led 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop 1989 300Tdi 90 Soft top 1992 200Tdi 90 Truck cab with Land Cruiser axles |

You could try these, cheaper than buying a new torch - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maglite-Upgrade-T...pgrade+led NormanD WE191

I’ve got 5 or 6 of these and really rate them. Cheap, very reliable and really good at lighting up the darkness, especially with some decent batteries. The battery life is excellent too.

+1... I have a Mini Maglite (2 x AA batteries), put a pair of Duracell rechargeables and a LED (120 Lumen IIRC) conversion - works great!
I also have a Led Lenser (same size) - also works great (~130 lumens IIRC) Could not tell you which I prefer.,..probably the on/off button on the heel of the LED Lenser gives it slightly more "marks". Both good tho  Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |
