Like Conan the Librarian, I've fitted an LED conversion kit into my AA maglite and it's improved it no end. Batteries last months, the light is bright and white and best of all it's solved what I called the curse of the Maglite. You know, you've just changed the batteries, switch it on - and bang, the bulb (filament for the leccys) blows.
No such problems now. Try here;
